PRODUCT DESCRIPTION S.I.N.: 834-300
Permatex
Ultra Copper
is a single component, room
temperature vulcanizing gasketing compound designed to
provide reliable “formed-in-place” gaskets for mechanical
assemblies. This material cures on exposure to moisture in the
air to form a tough, flexible, silicone rubber gasket. The
product resists aging, weathering and thermal cycling without
hardening, shrinking or cracking. Designed for the higher
temperature environments encountered in 4-cylinder,
turbocharged, and high performance engines. Permatex
Ultra Copper
is the most advanced high performance, high
temperature (up to 700°F intermittent) RTV gasket available.
OEM Specified.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For assembly as form-in-place gasket
1.
Remove all previous material from mating surfaces.
Permatex
Silicone Stripper or Gasket Remover is
recommended for most materials.
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, first tracing the internal areas of the gasket
configuration, then all surrounding bolt holes as shown
below:
6.
Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
Secure or tighten to recommended torque specs.
7.
Re-torque will not be necessary after the product has
cured.
For assembly as gasket dressing
1.
Repeat steps 1 thru 4 as in previous section.
2.
Apply a thin film of silicone to one surface to be sealed.
3.
Place the pre-cut gasket onto silicone film.
4.
Apply a second thin to pre-cut gasket surface.
5.
Remove any excess and assemble parts immediately.
Note: Product not recommended for use as a cylinder
head gasket or head gasket sealant.
Instructions for PowerBead
1.
Clean and dry all flange surfaces to be sealed.
2.
Remove black cap from top of extension nozzle.
3.
Turn nozzle extension one complete turn (360°)
counterclockwise.
4.
Depress finger trigger and apply a continuous 1/16 inch
to 1/8 inch PowerBead to one surface.
5.
Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
6.
Finger tighten flange only until material begins to seep
out the sides of the flange.
7.
Allow to set for at least two hours and re-torque at least
one quarter to one half turn.
8.
For best results, allow to cure overnight.
9.
To close, turn extension nozzle clockwise until tight
(about one full turn). Wipe off excess material from
nozzle and replace black cap.
