GASKET COMPOUND
Used to create a seal between mating parts. Gasket compounds may
be used with or without the presence of a pre-formed gasket. Gasket
compounds may be solvent or silicone based, and cure when exposed
to air or designed to cure in an air-less environment (anaerobic). Most
gasket compounds are designed to be applied to clean surfaces free of oil,
chemical residue and previously used gaskets or gasket compounds.
SILICONE SEALANT
Designed for a broad variety of sealing and bonding requirements,
silicone sealants are usually room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) which
form a flexible silicone rubber that bonds to a wide variety of smooth or
porous materials when cured. Standard silicone sealants are designed to
perform in temperatures from -51°F to 232°C (-60°F to 400°F), while high
temperature variants can preform in temperatures up to 343°C (650°F).
AEROSOL PROTECTANT/LUBRICANT
Most commonly used to coat battery terminals, ring terminals, and fork
terminals to reduce corrosion problems. Apply an aerosol protectant to the
connection after you secure the terminal connection. Do Not use an aerosol
protectant on small multi-pin electrical connectors.
An aerosol lubricant may also be specified. Refer to the specific service
procedure for details.
