Description

Hylosil Instant Gasket is a Room Temperature Vulcanising (RTV) general purpose silicone sealant. Once applied the compound reacts with atmospheric moisture, to form a tough, durable rubber seal. It has excellent adhesion to metals, glass, ceramics and plastics. The compound has large gap filling properties which makes it ideal for application to non-machined surfaces and even as cast surfaces.


Hylosil Instant Gasket is resistant to oil, water and lubricants. It will remain flexible to withstand vibration
