Product Description

The LOCTITE 2096061 is a dimethacrylate ester joint sealant designed to seal and retain metal assemblies and formed-in-place gaskets. Part of the LOCTITE Series 518 line, this anaerobic sealant cures in the absence of air when confined between metal surfaces. The red formulation comes in a 300 mL tube and handles operating temperatures from -65 degrees F to 300 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding thermal cycling applications. Full cure is achieved within 4 to 24 hours. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and automotive service professionals use this product to replace cut gaskets and seal flanged metal joints in a wide variety of service environments.

This sealant is formulated for use on metal-to-metal joints including automotive applications and machined flanges where a formed-in-place gasket is required. The 300 mL tube format is well suited for production environments or high-volume service shops. Its red color aids in visual identification of applied coverage during inspection. The product adheres to metal substrates and is appropriate for use in both light industrial and automotive maintenance scenarios where a reliable anaerobic seal is required.
