Permatex has introduced the Seal+Lock Thread Compound, a new product that combines the sealing capabilities of a thread sealant with the holding power of a blue, medium-strength threadlocker. Permatex says that this compound was developed to solve a nagging problem with sealed connections and threaded fittings, in response to customer requests and extensive field research.
Permatex says that Seal+Lock provides increased reliability and durability of repairs by ensuring sealed connections will not leak and locked fittings will not loosen. This specially formulated compound creates an air and watertight seal up to 1000 PSI and locks to 120 in./lbs. It also resists temperatures from -60° F to 300° F (-51°C to 150°C).
Permatex Seal+Lock Thread Compound resists solvents and common shop fluids and is removable with hand tools, the company says. Key applications include threaded freeze plugs, oil pressure sensors, threaded fuel injectors, coolant temperature sensors, A/C and hydraulic system connections, metal plumbing connections, and pipe plugs.
