HYLOMAR GASKET 2000
Anaerobic curing flexible gasket compound
Description
Hylomar Gasket 2000 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 Hylomar Gasket 2000 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
Hylomar Gasket 2000 should be applied to a clean and dry metal surface. The compound may be
dispensed by hand from a cartridge or concertina packs. 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.
