When we look at the function of liquid gaskets, we can say that they are functionally used to provide impermeability between connection surfaces. The most apparent advantages of liquid gaskets over other gaskets are that they can withstand high temperatures and be used as an adhesive. Liquid gaskets can be divided into two in general. Silicone gasket and natural gas sealing liquid gasket. To put it briefly, we can say that a silicone liquid gasket is a kind of silicone. It is also known as RTV silicon. It is most commonly found in black, red, and white in the market. The most important feature of this variety is that it is very resistant to heat. While standard silicones can withstand temperatures of approximately 100-150 degrees, liquid gaskets can withstand temperatures up to 300 degrees.
Liquid gaskets can be used to bond materials exposed to heat due to their high-temperature resistance. In short, liquid gaskets generally act as adhesives. In addition, it also has waterproofing and filling properties. These gaskets are called sealing gaskets and serve as a connector placed between different installation and machine parts to prevent leakage in general. This gasket provides its tightness by compression.
Liquid seals are used in many sectors, especially in the petrochemical, aviation, and automotive sectors. It is especially preferred where equipment such as motor, gearbox, pump, valve, and mechanical joints and flanges are used. When we look at our daily life, silicone liquid gaskets, ironing soles that have come off, repairs of parts around the barbecue and fireplace, machinery, engine parts, etc. It is often preferred for bonding parts exposed to high temperatures, such as
