Engine sealant

Engine and gasket sealants help to fix leaking of working fluids. The compounds are designated for the valve cover, crankcase sump, pipes and other elements of the power unit. These sealants efficiently perform their functions even in conditions of high temperatures. Moreover, they are resistant to antifreeze, motor oil and other technical fluids.

• Paste-like. These are the products, which are applied directly onto the parts surfaces or joints manually. Most often they are products in tubes with dosing tips. This type of products are used instead of gaskets in most cases.

Composition

The products, which are added into the working fluid, usually contain plasticisers and polymers. The silicon-based products are the most demandable amongst the paste-like sealants. Particularly, products with oxime-silicone, the substance with excellent adhesive strengths, are widely used.
