Specialised Sealant for High-Pressure Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
Würth Low-Strength Hydraulic Sealant is an anaerobic methacrylic-based liquid sealant formulated for sealing metal screw fittings and connectors in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Designed to withstand high fluid pressures and mechanical loads, it ensures leak-free operation and long-term system reliability, even in demanding industrial and automotive environments.
Reliable Sealing Under High Pressure
The cured sealant creates a permanent, flexible polymer film that fully seals metal thread interfaces. It withstands pressures up to 200 bar, and with properly pre-stressed joints, up to the burst pressure of the system. Once cured, it resists vibration, temperature cycling, and hydraulic shock, ensuring reliable long-term sealing.
Low Strength for Easy Disassembly
This product offers low mechanical bonding strength, making it ideal for maintenance-heavy applications where periodic disassembly is required. Connections can be released with standard hand tools without damaging threads or fittings.
Fast Curing for Reduced Downtime
The sealant cures rapidly in the absence of oxygen and in contact with metal ions (copper or iron). Initial strength develops within 30-40 minutes, functional strength within 2-3 hours, and full curing occurs in 12-24hours, depending on temperature and surface conditions. It cures reliably even at lower temperatures, reducing system downtime.
Excellent Chemical and Temperature Resistance
Once cured, Würth Low-Strength Hydraulic Sealant provides strong resistance to a wide range of hydraulic oils, fuels, synthetic lubricants, coolants, gases, and solvents. It maintains sealing integrity across temperatures from -55°C to 150°C, making it suitable for use in both automotive and industrial fluid systems.
DOS System for Professional Application
Supplied in Wuürth's DOS (Dispensing One System) packaging, the product allows one-handed operation with precise control of dispensing volume. The adjustable turn-lock nozzle prevents overuse and ensures cost-effective application. The bottle design enables complete product emptying, minimising waste and reducing costs.
Material Compatibility and Safety Considerations
Due to the strong catalytic effect of copper and its alloys, accelerated curing may occur, potentially causing micro-cracks in warm water systems (>=40°C). In such cases, preliminary tests are recommended. Prolonged exposure to uncured product may affect certain plastics, such as ABS, PMMA (Plexiglas), polycarbonate, polystyrene, and painted surfaces.
