    These structural sealants combine the mechanical strength of an adhesive with excellent sealing properties and high flexibility. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.
    Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. For joints between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation, choose a sealant with a higher elongation or joint compression/expansion tolerance. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.

    Often used in high-vibration applications that could cause standard thread sealants to fail, these never fully harden and remain pliable enough to self-heal and stop leaks before they start. Formulated without PTFE, these sealants are less slippery and less likely to result in overtightenting than sealants that have PTFE, making them good for plastic pipe where overtightening could lead to cracks and breaks. They have low locking strength, so they can be adjusted without tools.
    NSF/ANSI 61—To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Sealants that cannot be sold to the listed regions are restricted due to local VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.

    Threadlockers for Plastic Fasteners

    While other threadlockers can cause brittleness and cracking, these liquids won’t weaken plastic. They secure nylon, PTFE, and other plastic fasteners.
    Low Locking Strength—Often used in setups that require frequent disassembly, these threadlockers are easily released with the turn of a screwdriver or L-key. They give fasteners additional hold to keep them secure against light shock and vibration.
    Thin Liquid—Seep into tight spaces better than thick liquids, so they're best for fine threads.

    Tape Threadlockers

    Roll

    The easiest threadlocker to apply, this tape wraps around fasteners with no mess. Keep a roll in your toolbox—no worrying about leaks or it drying out. Unlike most threadlockers, these don't need to be applied every time you remove and reinstall your fasteners. Put on a fresh layer once every three uses. This tape is ready for immediate use. There is no drying or cure time required.
    Medium Locking Strength—Strong enough for most applications, these threadlockers hold firmly until you break their bond with a combination or ratchet wrench.

    Impervious to the swelling effects of oils, fuels, and solvents, use this high-strength silicone rubber sealant to assemble and repair fuel systems and tanks. Silicone rubber forms a tough, rubbery, UV-resistant seal that remains flexible over time. It's non-sagging, so it won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Also known as RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
    Elongation and joint expansion/compression tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. This sealant is best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.

    Seal concrete joints in high-traffic areas—these sealants stand up to heavy wear and tear, such as steel wheel traffic. They're 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. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.
