Most metal threads, steel, aluminum, brass, copper and black pipe. Ideal for fittings, pipes, valves, gauges, and connections in hydraulic, pneumatic, lubrication, steam, and refrigerant systems.
Typical Uses
Pre-applied liquid thread sealant is the water-based non-toxic thread sealant UL approved for air, nitrogen, water, propylene glycol and glycerol anti-freeze solutions. EverSeal 483 is also certified to NSF/ANSI standard 14 and material complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements when tested at temperatures up to and including commercial hot (180°F).
Product Specifications
| Directions | Always mix well prior to use, may only be applied to threads in good condition that are dry, clean and free from all oils or other type residues. Sealant must be fully cured prior to assembly or testing for a minimum of 24 hours in ambient conditions. |
| Safety | Contains no lead, is non-toxic, not a skin sensitizer, non-corrosive, non-radioactive, non-explosive. See SDS for more information. |
| Available Sizes | ES41 - 1 liter ES40 - 10 liter ES45 - 152 liter |
| Storage | 60° to 80°F (15° - 27° C) For best results and a longer shelf life, EverSeal 483 should be stored at moderate temperatures under 80°F. Do not return any unused material to the original container. |
| Preparation | Everseal 483 may thicken and/or appear to separate. Stirring or shaking the sealant will restore it to its original consistency. Everseal 483 should not be exposed to continuous open air and should be transferred into an air-tight vessel once mixed. Parts to be coated with Everseal 483 must be completely clean and free of thread cutting oils, parts washing chemicals, or other residues. |
| Application | EverSeal 483 should be applied 1-2 threads back from the end and a minimum of 3 middle threads. The sealant should be applied from the root of the threads out to the crown and allowed to dry back. Take care not to apply too much sealant and never apply additional sealant over non-cured sealant. |
