Permatex 80050 Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant 3oz

Permatex 80050 Clear Rtv Silicone Adhesive Sealant 3oz

Permatex Clear Silicone Adhesive Sealant is a general purpose, single component, room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) compound, designed for the sealing of mechanical assemblies. Upon curing from the exposure to moisture in the air, this non-sagging paste forms a tough, flexible, waterproof seal of silicone rubber, which resists aging, weathering and thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or cracking.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

For Assembly

1. Remove all previous material from mating surfaces. Permatex Gasket Remover is recommended for most materials, not for plastics or painted surfaces.
2. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a residue-free solvent, such as Permatex Brake and Parts Cleaner.
3. Cut nozzle to desired bead size, 1/16“ to 1/4“ in diameter. A 1/8” bead is usually sufficient for most applications.
4. Remove cap, puncture tube or cartridge seal and attach extension nozzle.
5. Apply a continuous and even bead of silicone to one surface.
6. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet. Secure or tighten as required, avoiding excessive squeeze-out.
7. Pressure should be applied to parts for 24 hours until the silicone is fully cured.

Instructions for PowerBead

1. Clean and dry all flange surfaces to be sealed.
2. Remove black cap from top of extension nozzle.
3. Turn nozzle extension one complete turn (360) counterclockwise.
4. Depress finger trigger and apply a continuous 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch PowerBead to one surface.
5. Apply a continuous and even bead of silicone to one surface.
6. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet. Secure or tighten as required, avoiding excessive squeeze-out.
7. Pressure should be applied to parts for 24 hours until the silicone is fully cured.
8. To close, turn extension nozzle clockwise until tight (about one full turn). Wipe off excess material from nozzle and replace black cap.

Storage of Unused Product

1. Create a “Silicone Plug” by allowing excess material to extend beyond the extension nozzle or aerosol tip to cure, sealing and protecting the remaining product from moisture. For reuse, simply remove the cured product from the tip.
2. For PowerBead dispensers, you may store remaining product using either the above “silicone plug” method or using the included plastic cap.

For Cleanup

1. Remove uncured product from parts and hand-tools with Permatex® Brake and Parts Cleaner. If skinned over, break film with a dry cloth to remove as much as possible. Remove the remaining material with Permatex® Gasket Remover.
2. Clean hands with a dry cloth or Permatex Fast Orange hand cleaner.

TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE

Permatex Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant cures on exposure to moisture in the air. The product cures tack free in 1 hour and fully cures in 24 hours. Cure times will vary with temperature, humidity and gap. Note: The curing process can cause corrosion to some surfaces, for critical applications use the Ultra Series silicones.
