Permatex Form-A-Gasket No. 2 Sealant

Product Description

Permatex Form-A-Gasket No. 2 Sealant

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Permatex Form-A-Gasket No. 2 Sealant is a black, viscous paste with a characteristic alcoholic odor. It is a slow drying, flexible setting paste that changes to a pliable, non-hardening film through solvent evaporation. It seals flanges, fittings, connections and flexible assemblies against leakage. It increases the reliability of gasket seals.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

Improves reliability
Extends gasket life
Stops leakage
Excellent for metal to metal assemblies
Slow drying
Flexible setting

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Valve cover gaskets
Oil pan gaskets
Threaded connections
Cover plates
Hose connections

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Remove all previous material from mating surfaces. Permatex Gasket Remover is recommended for most materials, not for plastics or painted surfaces.
2. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a residue-free solvent, such as Permatex Brake and Parts Cleaner.
3. Remove cap, puncture tube or cartridge seal and attach extension nozzle (if provided).
4. When used as a gasket dressing, spread product with a spatula to a uniform film on one side of gasket and then position it on the assembly. Coat the second side of gasket and re-assemble. Slower drying formula increases work time.
5. Assembly is operational after 4 hours, full cure is affected after 24 hours.

Versatile Temperature and Chemical Resistance

Permatex Form-A-Gasket No. 2 delivers exceptional sealing even under extremes of temperature, operating reliably between -54C and 182C. Its advanced formulation provides robust resistance to common automotive and industrial fluids including gasoline, oil, and antifreeze. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where exposure to both temperature fluctuations and aggressive chemicals is unavoidable, ensuring long-term performance and safeguarding equipment components.


Flexible, Non-Hardening Formula

Unlike many sealants, Form-A-Gasket No. 2 remains flexible and does not harden over time. This unique characteristic accommodates thermal expansion, contraction, and vibration, minimizing the risk of leaks in demanding environments. Its non-setting nature ensures disassembly is easier and parts can be serviced or replaced without damaging gaskets or surfaces, providing added convenience for maintenance operations.


Broad Compatibility for Multiple Applications

Compatible with metal, rubber, cork, and paper gaskets, this sealant is engineered for wide-ranging uses. Commonly employed in automotive, marine, and industrial assemblies, it's suitable for sealing flanges and machined surfaces that are regularly exposed to fuel, oil, and coolants. Its OEM approval and industry standard compliance further guarantee reliability across critical maintenance and manufacturing tasks.
