PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Permatex 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 6. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
• Improved oil resistance Secure or tighten to recommended torque specs.
• Sensor safe, non-corrosive 7. Re-torque will not be necessary after the product has
• Replaces most cut gaskets cured.
• Can be used as a gasket maker or dressing
For assembly as a gasket dressing
• Non-flammable, Non-toxic
1. Repeat steps 1 through 4 as in previous section.
• Low odor
2. Apply a thin film of silicone to one surface to be sealed.
3. Place the pre-cut gasket onto silicone film.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
4. Apply a second thin film to pre-cut gasket surface.
