    HVAC Sealants

    Form flexible water-resistant seals on metal, plastic, and rubber joints in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. These sealants are non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone rubber, sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
    Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain.

    Antibacterial Protective Coatings

    Prevent the growth of harmful and odor-causing bacteria, mold, and fungus on HVAC system components and hardware. These coatings contain silver, which inhibits the growth of mildew, mold, and fungus.
    These coatings have excellent chemical resistance. They’re often used on panels, ducts, and drain pans. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

    Leak-Detecting Dye Kits for HVAC Systems

    Image of Product. Dye Kit with Sealant. Front orientation. Leak-Detecting Dyes. Leak-Detecting Dye Kits for HVAC Systems, Liquid, Fluorescent Blue/Green.

    Dye Kit with Sealant

    With bright-colored dye and a fully equipped kit, you have everything you need to spot leaks in your HVAC system. These kits come with the correct amount of dye required for your system's size. Inject the dye into your system and scan it with the UV light—the dye is fluorescent, so it’s easy to spot most leaks right away. For small leaks, let the dye circulate for 24 hours and then inspect it again. Use the dye cleaner before you fix a leak. If the repair isn’t sufficient, you’ll be able to spot more dye.
    Four 0.5 oz. UV Dye and Sealant Containers—Kits with UV dye and sealant are formulated to seal hard-to-find leaks from the inside of your system. The dye and sealant formula is non-polymer and oil soluble, making it safe to stay in your system indefinitely. Reinforce seals from the outside for a permanent fix.
    ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 86 and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 97—Kits that meet ANSI/ASHRAE adhere to standards for chemical stability.
