Permatex 80022 Sensor-Safe Blue Rtv Silicone 3oz

Permatex 80022 Sensor-Safe Blue Rtv Silicone Gasket Maker 3oz

Permatex® Sensor-Safe Blue 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.
The original “Blue” gasketing product, refined and oxygen
sensor safe.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

• Superior adhesion and flexibility
• Sensor safe
• Replaces most cut gaskets
• Can be used as a gasket maker or dressing
• Easy application
• Non-flammable, Non-toxic

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Gasket maker for flexible flanges. Use as a sealant to coat
any pre cut gasket.

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. 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 as shown
   below:
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® Envirosafe® ODC Free
   Cleaner/Degreaser. 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 Sensor-Safe Blue 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
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. To prevent
contamination of unused product, do not return any material to
its original container.
