Anaerobic Sealants
Pipe Thread Sealant
Hernon's line of Dripstop sealants for plumbing, refrigeration
and hydraulics are engineered with many advantages over conventional
pipe dopes. These materials harden without shrinkage in the joints
creating a tough, insoluble, vibration proof seal that will not
leak even if threads are damaged.
Dripstop sealants are 100% active containing no solvents to
evaporate. They do no shred like tape dope and are not subject
to cold flow, pressure and temperature phenomena like non-hardening
dopes.
Grade numbers 920, 940 and 427 (see Thread Locking Section),
have been tested and classified
by the Underwriters Laboratory's (UL) File Number MH14222.
Anaerobic pipe sealants/adhesives are superior to other sealing
methods.
- Increased Profitability: Lower Costs, Less Down Time
- Reduced Inventories - no pipe dopes, paints needed.
- Reduced Maintenance - hydraulics and pneumatics don't become
fouled with shreds of Teflon tape.
- Superior Reliability - 10,000 psi - tough integrity.
They contain no solvents and do not shrink, stretch, split,
rot, distort, wear-out, or relax and joints never loosen under
vibration. Pressure cycling does not weaken or loosen the sealant
path.
Because the sealant path is formed when parts are made - up,
that is, threaded together, the plastic shim formed during cure
is truly a "custom" seal. Sealant not forced out cures
to a helical path in the thread roots to form an exacting match
of the surface irregularities. The shim mirrors and fills all
the voids, scratches, and thread nicks present in even the best
machined straight or pipe threads, Unlike Teflon tape, any non-confined
or excess sealant material does not cure and pose the threat
presented by shredded tape fouling valves or circuit elements.
