What This Product Is and How It Works

Asmaco RTV Gasket Maker 85gm is a high‑performance silicone elastomer designed to replace pre‑cut gaskets and seal flanged joints. It dispenses as a paste and cures on exposure to atmospheric moisture, transforming into a flexible rubber that fills irregular gaps and resists oil, coolant, and common fluids.

This product is engineered to create reliable seals between metal and composite surfaces, accommodating vibration and thermal cycling without cracking or losing adhesion.

Material Quality, Durability and Environmental Performance

The RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanising) silicone in this formulation provides resistance to automotive fluids, heat, and environmental conditions typical in Kenyan workshops. Once cured, the material withstands exposure to oil, water, antifreeze, and ozone, retaining elasticity over a wide temperature range.

Asmaco RTV Gasket Maker is suitable for use where dynamic response to heat and vibration is required. Confirm specific chemical resistance for specialised applications.

Installation, Handling and Compatibility

Application requires basic surface preparation and a standard caulking gun or tube applicator. Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of old gasket material, oil, grease, and debris. Apply a continuous bead to one mating surface; assemble parts within the product’s “skin time.” Typical skin‑over time varies with temperature and humidity.

Allow full cure before subjecting the joint to fluids or pressure. Safety involves working in well‑ventilated areas and avoiding direct skin contact; use gloves as needed. Compatible with metals, aluminium, cast iron, and many composites; test on sensitive materials if uncertain.

Typical Applications in Kenya

Asmaco RTV Gasket Maker 85gm is commonly used in automotive repair, machinery maintenance, and industrial sealing tasks.

• Automotive Workshops: Engine oil pan, valve cover, water pump, thermostat housing, transmission covers.

• Machinery & Equipment: Sealing flanges and housings in pumps, compressors, and generators.

• Maintenance Teams: Field gasket replacement where pre‑cut gaskets are unavailable.

• DIY & Small Repairs: Home workshop sealing for lawn equipment, small engines, and agricultural machinery.
