PRODUCT OVERVIEW
LOCTITE 518 is a premium, single-component, medium-strength anaerobic gasketing material designed specifically for rigid iron, aluminium, and steel flanged mating surfaces. It cures dynamically when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces. It provides immediate resistance to low pressures right after assembly, acting as a form-in-place gasket that fills irregularities up to 0.25 mm.
APPLICATIONS & WHO IT IS FOR
Thanks to its versatility, LOCTITE 518 is the go-to solution for both industrial applications and hobbyist workshops: - Professional Users (MRO, Mechanics & Engineers): Ideal for heavy-duty fleet maintenance, industrial pump overhauls, gearboxes, transmission housings, compressors, and engine casings. Excellent contamination tolerance to minor surface oils.
- Hobbyist & DIY Users (Car/Bike Restoration & Home Workshop): Perfect for automotive rebuilds, motorcycle crankcases, lawnmower engines, and machining projects. It eliminates the need for expensive, hard-to-find pre-cut paper or rubber gaskets, ensuring a leak-free seal that won't tear or decay over time.

KEY BENEFITS
- Contamination Tolerant: Cures reliably even when surfaces have minor oil or grease residues.
- Semi-Flexible Formula: Cures into a flexible, chemical-resistant matrix that accommodates minor structural vibrations without failing.
- No Gasket Relaxation: Unlike traditional solid gaskets, it will not shrink, squeeze out, or misalign during high-torque bolt tightening.
