The Sahmas Permatex page specifically highlights Permatex Red RTV High Temp Gasket Maker for demanding automotive, industrial and mechanical applications.

Permatex Red RTV High Temp Gasket Maker

The Permatex Red RTV High Temp Gasket Maker is a silicone-based gasket-making compound designed for high-temperature applications.

According to the Sahmas product information, it can withstand temperatures up to 650°F (343°C) intermittently and is designed to form a flexible, durable seal resistant to cracking, shrinking and vibration.

It can be used for applications such as:

• Exhaust manifolds

• Valve covers

• Timing covers

• Water pumps

• Thermostat housings

• Other high-temperature automotive components

The product is designed to adhere to surfaces including metal, glass and ceramic and can replace many pre-formed gaskets, potentially simplifying maintenance work.

Permatex Gasket Makers

Permatex offers several types of gasket-making products for different sealing requirements.

Its range includes:

• RTV silicone gasket makers

• Black gasket makers

• Grey gasket makers

• Red gasket makers

• Specialty gasket makers

• Anaerobic gasket makers

• Gasket sealants

• Cut-gasket coatings

• Gasket removers

Permatex explains that chemical gasket products can help compensate for imperfections in machined metal surfaces and reduce potential leak paths.

Popular Permatex gasket products include The Right Stuff®, Ultra Black®, Ultra Grey®, Optimum Easy-Disassembly and specialized high-temperature formulations.

Threadlockers

Threadlockers are used to help prevent threaded fasteners from loosening because of vibration while also providing sealing around threaded connections.

Permatex offers several threadlocker strengths and formulations, including:

• Blue medium-strength threadlocker

• Orange high-strength removable threadlocker

• Red high-strength threadlocker

• Purple low-strength threadlocker

• Green penetrating threadlocker

• Rapid-cure threadlockers

• Gel formulations

• High-temperature threadlockers

Permatex identifies blue as medium strength, orange as high-strength removable and red as high strength.

Choosing the Correct Threadlocker

Selecting the correct threadlocker depends on the required holding strength and whether the fastener needs to be removable during future maintenance.

For example:

Blue: Medium-strength applications where disassembly is required.

Orange: High-strength but removable applications.

Red: High-strength applications where a more permanent fastening solution is required.

Thread Sealants

Permatex also offers products specifically designed to seal threaded connections.

Its thread-sealant range includes:

• High Temperature Thread Sealant

• Seal & Lock Thread Compound

• High Performance Thread Sealant

• Pneumatic/Hydraulic Sealant

These products are intended for applications where threaded connections need sealing against liquids or gases.

Permatex provides lubricants designed to help reduce wear, seizing and friction in mechanical components.

The product portfolio includes:

• Brake lubricants

• Anti-seize lubricants

• Dielectric grease

• Specialty lubricants

• O-ring lubricants

Permatex states that lubricants can help extend the service life of mechanical components while reducing the likelihood of seizing and wear.

Adhesives and Sealants

Permatex adhesives and sealants are available for different materials and strength requirements.

The portfolio includes:

• Epoxy adhesives

• Syringe adhesives

• Adhesive sealants

• Specialty adhesives

• Super glues

• Component bonding

• Leak repair

• General mechanical maintenance

Product selection should always be based on the specific component, operating temperature, chemical exposure, required strength and manufacturer's instructions.

Permatex Products for Industrial Maintenance

Although Permatex has a strong automotive focus, its range of gasketing, threadlocking, thread-sealing, adhesive and lubrication products can also be relevant to selected industrial maintenance applications.

For industrial use, important considerations include:

• Operating temperature

• Pressure

• Chemical compatibility

• Substrate material

• Required curing time

• Joint design

• Required disassembly

• Vibration

• Exposure to oil, coolant or other fluids

The correct product should be selected from the manufacturer's specifications rather than using a general-purpose sealant for every application.

How to Select the Right Permatex Product

Before choosing a Permatex product, consider:

• Application type

• Component material

• Operating temperature

• Pressure

• Exposure to oil or coolant

• Chemical exposure

• Required sealing performance

• Required bond strength

• Required curing time

• Whether future disassembly is required

• Vibration level

• Application method

For threadlockers in particular, the required strength and future serviceability should be considered. Permatex provides different formulations specifically to address these requirements.
