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 to 232 ºC (-60 to 400 ºF), while high
temperature variants can preform in temperatures up to 343 ºC (650 ºF).
