Application Cleaner
Specific Benefit ● Easy application from an
aerosol can
● Will not run, even on vertical
surfaces
● Does not contain CFC
LOCTITE
®
7200™ is designed to aid removal of cured
chemical gaskets by softening the gasket material on the
flanges, eliminating excessive scraping. Once applied, the
product develops a foam-like layer on the gasket, preventing it
from running off the desired location, thus allowing it to work for
the required duration. Typical applications include removal of
all types of chemical gaskets from metal flanges. It is
particularly suitable for removing gaskets from aluminum or
other soft metal flanges where excessive scraping could easily
lead to flange surface damage . It may also be used to aid
removal of adhesives, baked-on grease or oil, built-up carbon
deposits, dried oils, paint, varnish, etc. from metal flanges or
surfaces.
NOTE: LOCTITE
®
7200™ is intended mainly for metal
components. It is not recommended for use on plastic
components.

GENERAL INFORMATION
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Directions for use
1.
Protect painted surfaces thoroughly from over-spray, as
LOCTITE
®
7200™ will attack the paint.
2. For best results, hold can upright, 20 to 30 cm away from
gasket area or surface and spray onto the flange or
surface, the heavier the coat the better.
3. Allow 10 to 15 minutes to soften the gasket, for silicone
gaskets allow 30 minutes.
4. Remove gasket with soft scraper and wipe flange or
surface clean, repeat procedure if necessary.
5.
Before application of new gasketing material, it is
essential to clean the flange or surface with appropriate
solvents such as Loctite
®
7063™.
Handling precautions
Pressurised container. Protect from sunlight and do not
expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °C. Do not pierce or
burn, even after use. Do not spray on an open flame or any
incandescent material.
