A136 Anaerobic Liquid Gasket Technical Information Sheet Major Features Strength Development Does not creep or shrink * Improved stress distribution * No shimming effect * No loose particles to clog oilways etc. * Permabond A136 is an anaerobic material designed for Cure times are typical at 23C. Copper and its alloys will follow the making formed in situ gaskets between metal surfaces. It is faster cure while oxidised or passivated surfaces like stainless steel capable of replacing a wide range of conventional gaskets will tend towards the slower curve. Lower temperatures or large gaps will tend to extend the cure time. To reduce the cure time the thereby offering potential for reduced stock holdings. By use of Permabond A905, or heat, can be considered. allowing surface to surface contact, load transmission can be improved. As the product does not shrink, creep or relax after curing, no bolt re-tightening is required. Its excellent chemical resistance allows its use with a wide variety of Hot Strength gases and liquids. A136 Physical Properties Chemical Type Acrylic Single Part Colour Red The reduction in strength shown here is reversed on cooling providing the joint is not overstressed. Exposure to higher Viscosity 25C 75,000 temperatures may be acceptable for short periods mPa.s Thixotropic Density 1.1 UV Fluorescent Yes Chemical Resistance Performance Maximum Gap Fill 0.5 mm Handling strength Steel 30-60 minutes Working strength 2 hours Full strength 24 hours Torque strength Steel / Nm (Break / Prevail) M8 Nuts and Bolts This product is not recommended for use in joints which will be in Steel contact with either steam or pure oxygen. Avoid prolonged contact Shear strength 12 MPa with strong acids, alkalis and very polar solvents Collar and Pin Service Temp. -55 to +150C WRAS approved for contact with potable waterA136 Technical Information Sheet Surface Preparation Storage and Handling Storage Temperature Though the anaerobic adhesives will tolerate a slight 5 to 25C degree of surface contamination best results are obtained Users are reminded that all materials, whether innocuous on clean, dry and grease free surfaces. The use of or not, should be handled in according to the principles of Permabond Cleaner A is recommended. good industrial hygiene. Full information can be obtained In general roughened surfaces (~25m) give higher bond from the Material Safety Data Sheet. strengths than polished or ground surfaces. To reduce the curing time, especially on inactive surfaces such as zinc, aluminium and stainless steel, the use of Other products in the Permabond range. Permabond A905 can be considered.
