High-Temperature Thread Sealants
These sealants have high locking strength, so they work in demanding applications, such as securing mounting studs in motor housings.
Room-temperature cure sealants must be mixed with water for use; they harden as the water evaporates. Mix about five parts powdered-sealant to one part water to form a thick consistency similar to peanut butter. Hardening can be accelerated with heat; do not heat to above 200° F. They require a hand tool to unthread.
1000° F max. temp. sealants expand as they harden.

Thread Sealants for Oxygen Systems
Completely free of oil and chemically inert, these sealants are safe to use with wet and dry oxygen systems. They contain PTFE, which provides a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding. These sealants are non-hardening, remaining pliable enough to self-heal and stop leaks before they start, so they’re often used in high-vibration applications that could cause standard thread sealants to fail. Since they have low locking strength, these sealants can be adjusted without tools.
