Rapidstick 8-5811 Thread Sealant (Potable Water, Variable Pressure)

Rapidstick™ 8-5811 Thread Sealant (Potable Water, Variable Pressure), 50ml

Rapidstick™ 8-5811 Thread Sealant (Gas & Potable Water, Variable Pressure)

Rapidstick™ 8-5811 Anaerobic Thread Sealant is a Class III methacrylate ester compound offering immediate low pressure resistance for all metal threads on pipes, joints, and fittings with variable pressures and alternating temperatures. It provides excellent lock and seal properties to resist loosening and leakage during testing and after full cure. Suitable for use on all active metals without the need for priming, its excellent thixotropic nature prevents migration.

8-5811 is a soft setting sealant with a potable water safe formulation that protects against corrosion, shock, and vibration. It will not creep, shrink, gall, migrate, or block systems, and is an excellent sealant for gases, water, LPG, hydrocarbons, oils, and other chemicals.

Note: It is recommended to prime inactive metals first with Rapidstick™ Anaerobic Adhesives Primer.

Chemtools® Rapidstick™ Thread Sealants offer a guaranteed seal to metal pipes and threaded fittings, ensuring no leakage occurs after full cure. Our sealant pastes can be used on course threads of up to 76mm (3″), whilst our liquid sealants are recommended for general use on smaller and finer threads of between 19mm (.75″) and up to 25mm (1″).

All Rapidstick™ Thread Sealants adhere with medium strength for disassembly with hand tools, and guarantee the same secure chemically resistant seal across the range, whether in low, mid, or high temperature environments. Rapidstick™ Thread Sealants have a flash point of up to 100°C, and cure for handling within 15 – 30 minutes of application, with some offering low pressure resistance immediately so that the testing of pipe stability and assurance can be achieved in minimal time.

With each Thread Sealant offering its own unique mechanical properties, such as shock, stress, and vibration resistance, plus many others, you can be satisfied that your fittings will meet your customers level of standards and expectations.
