Extreme-Temperature Gasket Maker Sealants in Cartridges

These gasket makers form a tight seal on furnace doors, exhaust systems, stoves, and other high-temperature applications. They are fire resistant and resist most acids, solvents, and corrosives. Use cartridges with a standard caulk gun for quick and easy dispensing. Gasket makers are used in place of rubber, cork, and other traditional gasket materials for a form-in-place seal and to make it easy to form irregular-shaped gaskets.

Ceramic Adhesives

Often used for bonding and repair on exhaust systems, diesel engines, and gas turbines, these adhesives withstand high temperatures and provide excellent electrical insulation. Pastes will not drip or sag while hardening on a vertical surface, while thick liquids flow into small spaces and are easy to spread.
