Permatex Spray-a-Gasket Copper Sealant
Permatex Spray-a-Gasket Copper Sealant
This fast-drying copper sealant is sprayed on the gasket and has the advantage of dissipating heat quickly, which significantly minimizes the risk of burnt-out seals, in places of high temperature development such as exhaust and cylinder head. If sealing surfaces have unevenness, these are filled and immediately completely sealed. Resistant to all automotive fluids, especially gasoline.

Gaskets that come out of a tube or a can

There are spots on the Harley-Davidson where no gasket or sealing ring can be used for sealing. So this is where chemistry comes to the rescue: with liquid gaskets in a variety of forms, curing, non-curing, silicone-based, or as a solid in the form of e.g. sealing tape. The places where chemistry is used are just as varied: on threads and connections, under thermal stress in exhaust systems, or when it comes to precisely maintained clearances, such as on engine housings, where sealing adhesives only form a wafer-thin layer. Electrical connections are also grateful for sealing and protection against rain and dirt. Last but not least, there are the tanks, which tend to leak after a long service thanks to the highly valued vitality of our V-twins. Here, too, modern chemistry prevents this in the form of an internal coating that also prevents minor leaks. (Smaller ones, mind you…)
