Asmaco RTV Gasket Maker 85gm
In stock
Asmaco RTV Gasket Maker 85gm is a one‑component, room‑temperature‑vulcanising silicone sealant formulated for making and repairing gaskets. It cures to form a flexible, resilient sealing bead suitable for automotive, machinery, and equipment joints. Ideal for mechanics, technicians, and maintenance professionals.
Description
What This Product Is and How It Works
Asmaco RTV Gasket Maker 85gm is a high‑performance silicone elastomer designed to replace pre‑cut gaskets and seal flanged joints. It dispenses as a paste and cures on exposure to atmospheric moisture, transforming into a flexible rubber that fills irregular gaps and resists oil, coolant, and common fluids.
This product is engineered to create reliable seals between metal and composite surfaces, accommodating vibration and thermal cycling without cracking or losing adhesion.
Material Quality, Durability and Environmental Performance
The RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanising) silicone in this formulation provides resistance to automotive fluids, heat, and environmental conditions typical in Kenyan workshops. Once cured, the material withstands exposure to oil, water, antifreeze, and ozone, retaining elasticity over a wide temperature range.
Asmaco RTV Gasket Maker is suitable for use where dynamic response to heat and vibration is required. Confirm specific chemical resistance for specialised applications.
Installation, Handling and Compatibility
Application requires basic surface preparation and a standard caulking gun or tube applicator. Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of old gasket material, oil, grease, and debris. Apply a continuous bead to one mating surface; assemble parts within the product’s “skin time.” Typical skin‑over time varies with temperature and humidity.
Allow full cure before subjecting the joint to fluids or pressure. Safety involves working in well‑ventilated areas and avoiding direct skin contact; use gloves as needed. Compatible with metals, aluminium, cast iron, and many composites; test on sensitive materials if uncertain.
