Hylogrip HY5172 / 760 / 5059 TDS

HYLOGRIP HY5172 / 760 / 5059
Anaerobic Thread Sealant
Description
Hylogrip HY5172 thread sealant was specifically formulated and developed for the sealing and
locking of threaded joints and other sealing applications. The products are resistant to heat,
corrosion, vibrations, water, gases, oils, hydrocarbons and many other chemicals. The lubricating
properties of Hylogrip HY5172 are due to the PTFE content of the products and can considerably
ease torque-up of threaded joints.

Instructions for Use
For best results ensure the surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry and free from contamination such as
oil or grease. Surfaces may be cleaned using a suitable solvent such as acetone. Sufficient product
to fill the threads should be applied before assembly. Any accessible residue can be easily wiped
away using acetone.
The joint should be left undisturbed for about one hour, after which it can be safely handled. Full joint
strength is achieved after twenty-four hours, although under certain circumstances pressure testing
may be carried out earlier than this.
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.

When a more rapid cure is required, or when used on non-metallic components, a layer of Hylomar
Anaerobic Primer should be applied to one of the surfaces to be bonded, and allowed to dry (which
only requires a few minutes), assembly is then as before.
Typical applications
Hylogrip HY5172 thread sealant may be used as a sealing and locking compound on all types of pipe
threads. The product is superior to P.T.F.E. tape, which can become detached and cause operating
problems in control systems requiring a high level of particulate cleanliness.
Hylogrip HY5172 has proved extremely effective on stainless steel pipe threads, operating
successfully where other compounds of this type have failed to perform satisfactorily. This makes
them particularly useful in the construction of hydraulic control systems for the offshore industry,
where stainless steel pipework and components are widely used and joint integrity is vital.
Because the compound cures within the joint, it not only prevents leakage from within the pipework,
but also excludes the surrounding environment from the joint surface. This helps to reduce the
likelihood of crevice corrosion taking place, especially where the joint is immersed in sea water.
