    Permatex
    Permatex, Inc., a leader in chemical technology for automotive maintenance and repair, has just added Hylomar Universal Blue Racing Formula Gasket Dressing Flange Sealant to its innovative gasket line. This non-chlorinated, gel-based sealant is specially formulated to remain flexible and tacky after application, even when exposed to high engine temperatures. It is designed for use with all pre-cut gaskets and head gaskets, and can also be used as a sealant for machined flanges and threaded parts. Hylomar’s non-setting, non-hardening formula allows for repeated assembly and disassembly without the need to apply more sealant, and it has excellent adhesive properties, vibration resistance, and a high temperature range (-60 degrees Fahrenheit to 500 degrees Fahrenheit). It resists automotive fluids such as water/glycol mixtures, petroleum and synthetic lubricating oils, gasoline, diesel fuels, gasoline/alcohol mixtures, and refrigerants. Suggested applications include sealing gaskets on cylinder heads, oil pans, valve covers, thermostat housings, oil differential covers, hydraulic drives and motors, intake manifolds, gear boxes, fuel injectors and fuel pumps, and transmission and torque converter seals.
