Permatex 89145 Ultra Grey Gasket Maker 99g

Permatex 89145 Ultra Grey Gasket Maker 99g

Permatex 89145 Ultra Gray Gasket Maker 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 perform under
the higher load conditions of engines with closely spaced bolt
patterns (typically non-US designed), and maintains
outstanding oil, water-glycol resistance. OEM Specified.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

• High load resistance

• Can be used as a gasket maker or dressing
• Non-flammable, Non-toxic
• Low odor

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Valve covers
• Transmission pans
• Oil pans
• Timing gear covers
• Differential covers

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

For assembly as a form-in-place gasket

1. Remove all previous material from mating surfaces.
   Permatex Gasket Remover or Silicone Stripper is
   recommended for most materials.
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, first tracing the internal areas of the gasket
   configuration, then all surrounding bolt holes
6. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
   Secure or tighten to recommended torque specs.
7. Re-torque will not be necessary after the product has
   cured.

For assembly as a gasket dressing

1. Repeat steps 1 through 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 film to pre-cut gasket surface.
5. Remove any excess and assemble parts immediately.

Note: Product is 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® Fast Orange® Wipes or Fast Orange® Hand
   Cleaners. 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 Ultra Gray Gasket Maker 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. Longer cure times will apply
to applications in low humidity conditions or colder
temperatures.

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
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS).

STORAGE

Products shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry location in
unopened containers at a temperature between 8 to 28C
(46 to 82F) unless otherwise labeled. Optimal storage is at the
lower half of this temperature range.
