HYLOMAR ADVANCED FORMULATION
Solvent free version of Hylomar Universal Blue
Description
Hylomar Advanced Formulation is ideally suited for use as a gasket dressing, and flange sealant. It
will enhance the sealing capability of all types of gaskets and flanges. It will assist with alignment
during assembly. The compound has excellent rheological properties, combined with resistance to
most automotive fluids and many other chemicals. Being a non-setting and non-hardening
compound it also has excellent resistance to joint vibration, shock and differential thermal expansion.

Instructions for use
Hylomar Advanced Formulation is a mobile product and can be applied from a tube or cartridge
using hand pressure. The compound may be applied by hand from a cartridge using a suitable
applicator or by using automated dispensing equipment.
After applying to the joint surface, parts can be assembled immediately or may be left indefinitely
before making the joint.
Hylomar Advanced Formulation can be removed from dismantled components by rubbing with a cloth
soaked with Acetone. No scraping is necessary.
Typical Applications
Hylomar Advanced Formulation has been designed to seal close fitting flanges against most
lubricants and automotive fluids. Although this material has many potential general engineering
applications, it is currently being used for the sealing of components such as cylinder liners to engine
block, cylinder head cam caps, electric motor end plate covers, fuel injector gland nuts.
Unlike Hylomar Universal Blue, Advanced Formulation will not have a film thickness between the
flanges as it is a mobile product. It is designed to fill and seal all the surface imperfections in the
flanges surfaces. Any resultant film thickness will depend entirely on the engineered texture of the
flange mating surfaces.
Information given in this publication is based upon technical data gained in our own and other Laboratories and is believed to be true. However the material is used in
conditions beyond our control thus we can assume no liability for results obtained or damages incurred through the application of the data present herein.
