High Chemical and Temperature ResistanceHylomar Universal Blue delivers robust sealing performance with a broad temperature range from -50C to +250C (continuous). It resists degradation when exposed to petrol, diesel, oils, water, antifreeze, air, LPG gases, and a variety of chemicals, ensuring longevity in demanding conditions.
Permanently Flexible and Non-HardeningUnlike traditional gasket materials, this compound never sets rigid. It remains pliable over its service life due to its polyurethane-based formulation. This flexibility is critical for applications where components experience vibration, expansion, or contraction, maintaining a leak-proof seal and easy disassembly.
Multiple Application VersatilitySuitable for use on metals, glass, ceramics, rubber, and most plastics, Hylomar Universal Blue excels across industries such as automotive, marine, aerospace, and industrial machinery. Its semi-thixotropic gel consistency ensures ease of application on flanges, joints, and threaded parts.
FAQ's of Hylomar Universal Blue Non Setting Gasket and Jointing Compound:
Q: How is Hylomar Universal Blue applied to surfaces?
A: Apply a thin, even layer (0.02 to 0.25 mm) using a brush, spatula, or directly from the tube onto clean surfaces such as metal, glass, ceramics, rubber, or plastics. Ensure both surfaces are free from dust, grease, and oil for optimal sealing.
Q: What temperatures can Hylomar Universal Blue withstand during use?
A: It is specifically formulated to function continuously from -50C to +250C, making it suitable for both extreme cold and high-heat environments without loss of sealing performance.
Q: When is the gasket compound tack-free and ready for assembly?
A: After application, the surface typically forms a skin (tack free) within 20 to 30 minutes due to solvent evaporation. It remains flexible and non-hardening, so parts can be repositioned and assembled during this window.
Q: Where can Hylomar Universal Blue be used effectively?
A: This compound is ideal for automotive engines, industrial machinery, marine hardware, and aerospace systems, sealing flanges, threaded connections, pump housings, and more wherever robust chemical and temperature resistance is required.
Q: What are the benefits of using a non-setting compound like Hylomar Blue?
A: The permanently flexible, non-setting properties prevent gasket joint failure, resist vibration loosening, and allow for easy disassembly and maintenance without damaging the sealed parts.
Q: How does the compound prevent corrosion at joint interfaces?
A: Hylomar Universal Blue creates an effective moisture and chemical barrier at the interface, significantly reducing the risk of corrosion and protecting the integrity of the joint over time.
Q: What is the recommended storage method for Hylomar Universal Blue?
A: Store unopened containers between +5C and +25C. When properly stored, the product maintains its effectiveness and shelf life for at least five years.
