Permatex 81409 High-temp Red RTV Silicone 311g

Permatex 81409 High-temp Red Rtv Silicone Gasket Maker 311g

Permatex Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket is a single
component, room temperature vulcanizing gasketing
compound designed to provide reliable “formed-in-place”
gaskets for mechanical assemblies. This material cures on
exposure to moisture in the air to form a tough, flexible, silicone
rubber gasket. The product resists aging, weathering and
thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or cracking.
Designed to maintain maximum performance in a continuous
temperature environment of 600F. OEM Specified.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

For assembly as a form-in-place gasket

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. An 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, first tracing the internal areas of the gasket
   configuration, then all surrounding bolt holes
6. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
7. Finger tighten flange only until material begins to seep
   out the sides of the flange.
8. Allow to set for at least two hours and re-torque at lease
   one quarter to one half turn.
9. For best results, allow to cure overnight

For assembly as a gasket dressing

1. Repeat steps 1 thru 4 as in previous section.
2. Apply a thin film of silicone to one surface to be
   sealed.
3. Place the pre-cut gasket onto silicone film.
4. Apply a second thin to pre-cut gasket surface.
5. Remove any excess and assemble parts immediately.

Note: Product not recommended for use as a cylinder
head gasket or head gasket sealant.

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. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
6. Finger tighten flange only until material begins to seep
   out the sides of the flange.
7. Allow to set for at least two hours and re-torque at least
   one quarter to one half turn.
8. For best results, allow to cure overnight.
9. 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 Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket cures on exposure to
moisture in the air. The product dries tack free in one 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.

Chemical / Solvent Resistance

The product retains effective properties in contact with
automotive fluids, such as motor oil, transmission fluids,
alcohol, and antifreeze solutions. Note: Not recommended for
parts in contact with gasoline.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
