HYLOGRIP HY5173
Description
Hylogrip HY5173 is a formed in place (FIP) single component anaerobic curing flexible sealant,
which cures in the joint to form a flexible plastic seal. The product is designed to replace traditional
solid gaskets. The thixotropic properties of Hylogrip HY5173 prevent migration of the sealant
before or during curing. Once cured the compounds are resistant to shock and vibration from
–50°C to 150°C.

Instructions for Use
Hylogrip HY5173 should be applied to a clean and dry metal surface. The product can be applied
by hand however automated application is also widely used via a xy plotter, robot arm or via a silk
screen printer. Once applied the joint should be assembled without undue delay. Any excess
compound can be easily wiped off external surfaces using a clean cloth soaked in Acetone, or
other suitable solvents. If joints are dismantled for service or repairs, the cured product can be
easily removed and surfaces cleaned for fresh application by using a clean cloth soaked in
Acetone, or other suitable solvents.
