Directions for use:
1. For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease and other contaminants.
2. The product is designed for close fitting flanged parts with gaps up to 0.25 mm (0.01 in).
3. Apply manually as a continuous bead, a rolled film or by screen printing to one surface of the flanges. For gaps greater than 0.125 mm (0.005 in) using a pen roller, a rolled film should be applied to both flange surfaces.
4. Low pressures (<0.05 MPa, <7 psi) may be used when testing to confirm a complete seal immediately after assembly and before curing.
5. Flanges should be tightened as soon as possible after assembly to avoid shimming.
LOCTITE 518 cures once confined within the absence of air between close metal surfaces. it’s associate anaerobic gasketing material designed to be used on rigid iron, aluminum, and steel flanged coupling surfaces.
