What Is Flange Sealant?
Flange sealant is used to create leak-proof seals in mechanical joints, preventing the escape of liquids or gases.
Flanges connect components through protrusions or grooves, and flange sealant is applied to these connections to ensure a secure seal. They are essential in applications such as automotive engines, pipelines, and industrial machinery to maintain integrity and prevent leakage.
Composed of materials like silicone, urethane, rubber, PTFE (Teflon), and synthetic rubber, flange sealants offer heat resistance, durability, and chemical stability. For high temperature or chemical resistance requirements, specialized sealants are available to meet specific needs.
