Rapidstick™ 8542 Thread Sealant

Rapidstick™ 8542 is recommended for hydraulic and pneumatic fittings in high temperature environments, providing low pressure resistance to all thread types immediately after application.

8542 prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration, protects from corrosion on all metal threads, pipes, and fittings, and will not creep, shrink, gall, migrate, or block systems.

It is ideal for sealing against gases, water, LPG, hydrocarbons, oils, and other chemicals, and its excellent thixotropic property prevents migration of the sealant before or during curing.

Note: It is recommended to prime inactive metals first with Rapidstick™ 8-3471 Anaerobic Adhesives Primer.
