Loxeal 18-10 - 50 ml, thread sealant

Anaerobic adhesive for sealing metal pipe threaded joints. Suitable for gas, LPG, compressed air, gasoline, oil, industrial liquids, CFC, drinking water, and many other chemicals. The low coefficient of friction allows for easy assembly.

The thixotropic properties of the product ensure that the sealing compound does not leak from the joint during application or curing. It replaces sealing hemp and PTFE tapes. After curing, an elastic film is formed. The joints resist vibrations and shocks within the working temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Easy disassembly of the joint is guaranteed even after several years.

Approved for use with natural gas and LPG in gaseous form.
