Technical Data Sheet P/N 22500 SERIES Page 1 of 1 April 2010 AST- SEAL™ HYD HYDRAULIC SEALANT WWW.ANTISEIZE.COM Product Description AST-SEAL™ HYD Sealant is a Medium Strength, High Pressure Anaerobic Thread Sealant specifically designed to seal High Pressure Hydraulic and Pneumatic fittings up to 2” in diameter. It has been engineered to be highly resistant to hydraulic fluids with excellent overall chemical resistance. AST-SEAL™ HYD Sealant does not contain any fillers or particles which could plug valves or screen in the hydraulic system and is safer to use than Thread Sealing Tapes. AST-SEAL™ HYD Sealant seals pressures up to 10,000 psi and ensures that your Hydraulic or Pneumatic fittings will not leak or loosen due to vibrations and provide a long trouble free service life. The medium strength allows the fittings to be disassembled with common hand tools AST-SEAL™ HYD Sealant undergoes a chemical crosslinking process only in the presence of metal and the absence of air. This is typically refered to as “curing”. The Sealant begins to cure right after assembly and reaches full cure in about 24 hours depending upon temperatures. In Colder Climates it may require more time and in Warmer Climates, less time. AST-SEAL™ HYD works particullarly well with softer more active metals such as brass,bronze,aluminum or steel. For Stainless Steel, Titanium,Alloys, plated fittings , fittings with a wide gap fill or if the material is being applied in very cold temperatures where a full cure is still needed then a primer may be required to ensure a full cure is achieved. Cleaning This product work best if the parts are clean and free of grease, oil, foreign material or old Sealing Compounds. Normally cleaning with an appropriate solvent and / or wiring brushing the parts to ensure they are clean is adequate preparation. Storage and Shelf Life For best results and a longer shelf life, Retaining Compounds should be stored at moderate Temperatures under 80 F. The shelf life is around 18 month if it is stored under these conditions. Storage at higher temperatures may shorten it shelf life or result is lower Prevailing Torque values. AST-SEAL™ HYD Sealant is normally applied by hand from the bottle ,directly to the part or assembly. We recommend that all of the engaged threads are coated with a thin film of the sealant before assembly.
