When dried, it becomes a resilient, tight clinging, non-curing sealant for tapered or straight threads. It provides an instant seal on different pipe threads and can be used up to eight (8) times without recoating. Self Sealer 616 is water based, non-toxic, safe and can be applied easily without special handling precautions. It provides resistance to vibrational loosening because of its prevailing torque characteristics. Therefore, it is very effective on non-locking applications. UL Classification Classified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.® MH14222 as to fire hazard only. Self Sealer 616. Classified 0 to 10 less hazardous than paraffin oil in respect to fire hazard. For use in devices handling gasoline, petroleum oils, natural gas (pressure not over 100 psig), butane and propane, not exceeding 2 in. pipe size. Suitable for single assembly ("insertion") use when applied and dried prior to assembly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for use in commercial and residential potable water systems not exceeding 82°C (180°F). Product Features • No cure time is required. The pre-applied film provides instant sealing for NPT threads up to 4 inches in diameter immediately upon installation • Mechanically, the dry film generates prevailing torque characteristics making threaded parts resistant to vibrational loosening after installation. • Corrosion is inhibited between mating threads. The threads are safely sealed from contact with the atmosphere by the coating. • Safe to use with plastics. It will not craze or attack plastic components. • The pre-applied coating eliminates liquid and paste migration problems and concerns during installation. • Precoated fittings can be stored for immediate delivery and assembly. • The pre-applied coating is tough, resilient and resists shredding and peeling during assembly. • Ideal for field assembly - precoated parts are always there and ready for the task. • Precoated parts have a shelf life of several years.
