About Sealant Flexibility
More
Oil- and Fuel-Resistant Sealants

These non-sagging sealants will not drip while hardening on vertical and overhead surfaces. They’re thicker than most non-sagging sealants, so they can be used in vertical joints up to 1/2" wide.
Elongation indicates flexibility—the higher the values are, the more sealants can stretch. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.
Silicone sealants have excellent ozone resistance.
Sealants that cannot be sold to California exceed local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).

Self-Leveling Chemical-Resistant Sealants

Designed to withstand extreme environments, these fluoroelastomer sealants have excellent resistance to sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, gasoline, and oil. Thinner than non-sagging sealants, these flow easily into cracks and have a smooth finish.
Elongation and joint expansion/compression tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.
Sealants that cannot be sold to the regions listed exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Thread Sealants with PTFE

PTFE provides a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding. These sealants are anaerobic, so they don’t begin to harden until coated surfaces are threaded together, blocking exposure to air.
Sealants with low locking strength prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and can be adjusted without tools.
Sealants with medium locking strength prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and shock. They require a hand tool to unthread.

Non-Hardening Thread Sealants with PTFE


PTFE provides a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding. These sealants never fully harden, remaining pliable enough to self-heal and stop leaks before they start, so they’re often used in high-vibration applications that could cause standard thread sealants to fail. Since they have low locking strength, these sealants can be adjusted without tools.
Sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61 adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems.
VOC-free sealants won’t harm the environment and comply with LEED Green Building standards. VOC stands for volatile organic compound.
