- Availability: In Stock
- Product Sku: 30623505-12Pack
Bostik Born2BondTM Gasketing anaerobic adhesives are a single-component, cost effective alternative to conventional preformed gaskets on metal flanges. Flexible, durable and resistant to wear and tear, they can be used during installation or for preventative maintenance. Achieving 100% surface-to-surface contact, the adhesives create a cohesive, durable connection that can withstand vibration, extreme temperatures and exposure to oils, solvents and water. They also offer better stress distribution and, unlike traditional gaskets, do not require any ‘bedding-in’.
GA-18 is a general purpose anaerobic gasketing material with high viscosity and medium strength. It is recommended for use on rigid iron, steel and aluminum flanges. Once cured the product prevents leakage and/or loosening of parts from vibration and shock.
This product is acceptable for use as a sealant in and around food processing areas according to NSF S2 (Registration No.163873).
