PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Permatex

Black Silicone Adhesive Sealant (low odor formula)
is a general purpose, single component, room temperature
vulcanizing (RTV) compound, designed for the sealing of
mechanical assemblies. Upon curing from the exposure to
moisture in the air, this non-sagging paste forms a tough,
flexible, waterproof seal of silicone rubber, which resists aging,
weathering and thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or
cracking. Note: Not recommended for engine gasketing
applications.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
• Low odor formula
• Easy application
• Applied to horizontal or vertical surfaces
• Superior adhesion and flexibility
• Waterproofs
• Insulates
• Unaffected by vibration
• Non-flammable
• Non-toxic

2. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a
residue-free solvent, such as Permatex

Brake and
Parts Cleaner.
3. Cut nozzle to desired bead size, 1/16“ to 1/4“ in
diameter. An 1/8” bead is usually sufficient for most
applications.
4. Remove cap, puncture tube or cartridge seal and attach
extension nozzle.
5. Apply a continuous and even bead of silicone to one
surface, as shown below:
6. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
Secure or tighten as required, avoiding excessive
squeeze-out.
7. Re-torque will not be necessary after the product has
cured.
For Storage and Cleanup
1. Allow excess material to extend beyond the extension
nozzle to cure, sealing and protecting the remaining
product from moisture. For reuse, simply remove the
cured product from the tip.
2. Remove uncured product from parts and hand-tools with
a dry cloth, if skinned over, break film with a dry cloth to
remove as much as possible, and remove the remaining
material with Permatex

Gasket Remover (not on
painted surfaces) as previously stated.
