#26 Hi Tmp RTV Silc Gaskt EACH - Permatex

The Permatex 81160-CAN #26 Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker is a professional-grade gasketing solution engineered to create reliable, leak-free seals in demanding high-heat and high-vibration automotive and industrial applications. This OEM-specified RTV formula cures into a durable, flexible, formed-in-place gasket, offering a robust alternative when traditional pre-cut gaskets are impractical or unavailable.

Key Features

• Extreme High-Temperature Resistance: Formulated to withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 600°F (315°C) and intermittent exposure up to 650°F (343°C), making it ideal for critical internal engine and exhaust components.
• Flexible and Durable Seal: Cures at room temperature to form a tough, pliable silicone gasket that resists cracking, shrinking, and hardening, ensuring long-term sealing integrity.
• Vibration and Shock Absorption: Maintains seal on components subjected to significant engine vibration, drivetrain shock, and thermal cycling, effectively preventing premature leaks.
• Chemical and Fluid Compatibility: Provides excellent resistance to common automotive and industrial fluids, including engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and water. (Note: Not recommended for parts in contact with gasoline).
• Sensor-Safe and Non-Corrosive: This RTV silicone is safe for use on modern vehicles equipped with oxygen sensors and electronic controls, preventing corrosion to metal components.

Applications

• Sealing critical engine components such as valve covers, oil pans, timing covers, water pumps, and thermostat housings.
• Gasketing transmission pans, differential covers, and various drivetrain housings in professional repair settings.
• Creating formed-in-place gaskets on industrial machinery exposed to elevated temperatures and substantial vibration.
• Replacing or supplementing pre-cut gaskets on clean, properly prepared mating surfaces for enhanced sealing performance.
• Ideal for high-temperature applications like exhaust manifolds, headers, turbochargers, and slip-fit exhaust parts.
