GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure
oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be
selected as a sealant for chlorine or other strong
oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Where aqueous washing systems are used to clean the
surfaces before bonding, it is important to check for
compatibility of the washing solution with the adhesive. In
some cases these aqueous washes can affect the cure and
performance of the adhesive.
This product is not normally recommended for use on
plastics (particularly thermoplastic materials where stress
cracking of the plastic could result). Users are
recommended to confirm compatibility of the product with
such substrates.
Directions for use
For best performance surfaces should be clean and free of
grease. Advance only enough stick product to use at the
time of application. Using the stick applicator, wipe product
into the thread area in sufficient quantity to fill all engaged
threads. Use accepted trade practices to assemble and
wrench-tighten fittings until proper alignment is obtained.
Recap product after use. This product performs best in thin
bond gaps. Very large thread sizes may create large gaps
which will affect cure speed and strength.
NOTE: For maximum pressure and solvent resistance,
allow at least 24 hours for product to fully cure
before filling and pressurizing the system.
This product is designed to provide lubricity during
assembly. In critical tightening applications the specific
torque/tension ratio, should be confirmed.
Storage
Product shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry location in
unopened containers at a temperature between 8°C to 28°C
(46°F to 82°F) unless otherwise labeled. Optimal storage is
at the lower half of this temperature range. To prevent
contamination of unused product, do not return any material
to its original container. For further specific shelf life
information, contact your local Technical Service Center.
