HVAC Sealants

Form flexible water-resistant seals on metal, plastic, and rubber joints in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. These sealants are non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain.

Bacteria-Resistant Coatings


Prevent the growth of harmful and odor-causing bacteria, mold, and fungus on HVAC system components and hardware. These coatings contain silver, which inhibits the growth of mildew, mold, and fungus.
Coatings that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by product registration requirements and/or regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).
Acrylic coatings go on easily and dry quickly. They’re often used on railings, door handles, and other frequently touched surfaces.
Epoxy coatings have excellent chemical resistance. They’re often used on panels, ducts, and drain pans. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

Leak-Detecting Dye Kits for HVAC Systems

With bright-colored dye and a fully equipped kit, you have everything you need to spot leaks in your HVAC system. These kits come with the correct amount of dye required for your system's size. Inject the dye into your system and scan it with the UV light—the dye is fluorescent, so it’s easy to spot most leaks right away. For small leaks, let the dye circulate for 24 hours and then inspect it again. Use the dye cleaner before you fix a leak. If the repair isn’t sufficient, you’ll be able to spot more dye.
Kits with UV dye and sealant are formulated to seal hard-to-find leaks from the inside of your system. The dye and sealant formula is non-polymer and oil soluble, making it safe to stay in your system indefinitely. Reinforce seals from the outside for a permanent fix.
Kits that meet ANSI/ASHRAE adhere to standards for chemical stability.
