Applications
  • Bonding and sealing of metals, ceramics, glass, and silicone rubber components

  • Gasket dressing and upgrading of conventional or pre-cut gaskets that fail at high temperatures

  • Formed-in-place gasket or sealant for replacing pre-formed gaskets in systems operating up to 300°C

  • Sealing and encapsulating heating elements in electrical appliances for continuous operation up to 280°C

  • Assembly and repair of industrial furnaces, ovens, boilers, exhaust stacks, and high-temperature ducting

  • Automotive gasketing applications such as valve covers, oil pans, water pumps, end seals, and rear axle housings

  • Bonding and repair of fabricated silicone gaskets and high-temperature components

Supex High Temperature RTV Silicone Sealant is ideal wherever heat, vibration, and chemical exposure demand a resilient, long-lasting seal.

  • Surfaces to be adhered or sealed should be free of dirt, oil, and other contaminants.
  • For best performance, clean the surface with a solvent such as IPA, Acetone, or MEK.
  • For better appearance, use masking tape to cover the outside of joint areas before application.
  • Tool immediately after sealant application.
  • Remove masking tape before the sealant skins.
