ATV Gasket Maker & Sealants
ATV Gasket Maker and Sealants are crucial for ensuring that automotive parts remain in working order. These sealants and gasket makers are specially designed to withstand high temperatures and resist water and oil, making them perfect for use in engines, transmissions, differentials, and other automotive applications. Permatex is a popular brand in the field. They offer a range of products including RTV Silicone Gasket Maker, Ultra Grey, Ultra Black, and Ultra Copper. Each with unique features that make them suitable for various applications. For example, Ultra Grey is sensor safe and Ultra Black is high torque and oil-resistant, while Ultra Copper is perfect for high-temperature applications such as exhaust manifolds. Gasket sealants come in a variety of forms, including silicone, epoxy, and putty.
These products are easy to apply, seal quickly, and are durable which makes them ideal for sealing oil pans, valve covers, and differential covers. When choosing a gasket maker or sealant, it is important to consider the compatibility of the product with the parts you are working on, as well as its temperature and oil resistance. The product must also be able to withstand weathering and other environmental factors we experience here in Australia. Be sure to check out the specs on the high temp silicone sealants before using them on thermostat housings, water pumps, radiator lines, transmission pans or engine oil gasket replacements. We also recommend getting a remover/stripper product to mitigate any additives interfering with the connectivity of the ultimate grey or similar new product with its application on your machine.
