Silicone Sealants
Made from silicone, these sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing). They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. Sealants that are good for joining dissimilar materials also work well in environments with wide temperature fluctuation.
When Dow Corning 700 requires a primer, for best results use PR-1200 on metal and PR-1205 on plastic.

Silicone Sealants with Material Certification
These sealants include a material certificate with traceable lot number, test report, and product shelf life. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Elongation indicates flexibility—the higher the value is, the more a sealant can stretch. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.

Structural Sealants
These structural sealants combine the mechanical strength of an adhesive with excellent sealing properties and high flexibility. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. For joints between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation, choose a sealant with a higher elongation or joint compression/expansion tolerance. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.

Slow-Set Epoxy Structural Adhesives
To allow time to adjust and position parts, these epoxies remain workable for at least 90 minutes. The strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives, epoxies work especially well on metals.
The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
FDA compliant epoxy can be used in food-processing and food-packaging equipment. Use weight instead of volume when measuring the ratio for FDA complaint epoxy.

Primers for Threadlockers, Retaining Compounds, and Acrylic Adhesives
To speed cure time on coated fasteners, aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium, apply these primers before using threadlocker or retaining compound. They also work with no-mix acrylic adhesives.
Primers in brush-top bottles also include a spray head for easy dispensing.

Gasket Tape for Pipe Flanges
Because this expanded PTFE tape is thicker than other gasket tape, it fills the irregularities on rough-surfaced flanges when compressed for a tight seal. This gasket tape is chemically inert, except to molten alkali metal and elemental fluorine.
Gasket tape that is FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1550 is for use with food and beverage.
