Overview
Loctite 518 is a medium strength, general-purpose gasketing product with excellent contamination tolerance. Ideal for use on casted iron, steel and aluminum flanges. Loctite 518 cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces. It is an anaerobic gasketing material designed for use on rigid iron, aluminum, and steel flanged mating surfaces. Loctite 518 fills gaps up to 0.25 millimeters and forms a flexible, chemical-resistant seal that will not tear or decay. Parts disassemble easily, even after extended service. Typical applications include sealing close-fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges. It is also used as a formed-in-place gasket on rigid flanged connections, e.g. transmissions and motor housings.
