Description
The Loctite 574 flat gasket is recommended for versatile use on various materials. However, it achieves the best properties on metals, making it ideal for sealing joints between metal surfaces. It effectively prevents the seepage of liquids or gases and provides excellent sealing – we recommend using the Loctite 574 flat gasket for oil pans, tanks, and other cases where direct contact with liquid occurs. The Loctite 574 gasket cures in the joint and, once cured, is highly resistant to temperatures up to 150 °C. Additionally, Loctite 574 withstands small pressure immediately after application. You will also appreciate its thixotropic nature, which allows it to stay in place after application.
Why use Loctite 574 flat gasket?
- Only a small layer of Loctite 574 is needed to seal the joint
- Loctite 574 is versatile
- It seals metal surfaces very well
- Immediately after application, it withstands small pressure up to 0.35 bar
- It is resistant to operating fluids
- It is very easy to apply
What to watch out for
You should definitely not use Loctite 574 flat gasket in oxygen systems, nor in any other systems where it may come into contact with strong oxidizing substances.
We recommend thoroughly reading the product information or the information directly on the product packaging before application.
How to properly use Loctite 574
Just like with the application of adhesives, it is also very good practice to degrease the joint surface from oils, lubricants, and other components before applying Loctite 574. You can use the Loctite SF 7063 degreaser and cleaner for this purpose. Also, remove any residues of old adhesive or gasket.
