Hylomar^® Universal Blue sealant retains its unique properties of being non-setting and permanently plastic when operated within the allowable temperature range for each specific grade or formulation. Regardless of which grade of Hylomar® sealant you use, each is formulated using a combination of individual fine particles combined in a gel base. This method of formulation makes Hylomar® effective for use in conjunction with gaskets as it fills micro-size gaps commonly found on coarsely machined components. As a gasket dressing, it assists in the location and fitting of the gasket during assembly. The non-setting features of Hylomar® allow for easy disassembly and removal of parts and gaskets compared to many traditional gasketing materials.
