High Performance Adhesives and Sealants 121 Tech Drive Sanford, FL 32771 (407) 322-4000 Fax: (407) 321-9700 www.hernon.com Technical Data Sheet Self Seale r 617 Page 1 of 2 Product Description Typical Propertiesl Hernon® Self Sealer 617 is a high temperature, preapplied, non-hardening thread sealant that provides an instant seal on different pipe threads. Self Sealer 617 is a resilient, tight clinging, non-curing sealant for tapered or straight threads. Self Sealer 617 is water based, non-toxic, and can be applied easily without special handling precautions. Self Sealer 617 is resistant to vibration loosening because of its prevailing torque characteristics. Self Sealer 617 is also effective on non-locking applications. Product Benefits • Seals pipe threads for immediate use. • The pre-applied coating eliminates liquid and post migration problems and concern during installation. • The pre-applied coating is tough, resilient and resists shredding and peeling during assembly. • Locks straight threads by resisting thread movement. • Can be easily seen and inspected. • Does not contaminate from shredding and washout. • Provides lubrication for assembly. • Seals against leakage of automotive lubricants, fuels and coolants up to 300°F/150°C with intermittent use to 350°F/177°C Typical Applications • Rear axle filler plugs • Pressure gauges & sensors • Screws for plastic assembly • Water sprinkler fittings • Bearing adjuster nuts • Shower head fittings • Adjustment screws • Pipe fittings • Compressor pipe • Cable connectors • Brake fittings Coating Characteristics Self Sealer 617 is compounded for softness and to provide good cold flow sealing properties. This prevents galling and allows a resilient coating for ease of installation onto aluminum and other soft metals, plastics, etc. Lubricity Self Sealer 617 is designed to give consistent control of lubricity. Self Sealer 617 may affect the K - value and when precise results are necessary, the user should first test the actual coated parts. Typical Performance Heat Resistance 3/8” malleable iron National Pipe Thread (NPT) fittings coated with Self Sealer 617 were exposed to 302°F/150°C for 30 days and to 351°F/177°C for 10 days. After the heat aging period, the assemblies were pressure tested for fluid leaks. Test assemblies passed 1035 kPa for one minute. Chemical/Solvent Resistance 3/8” malleable iron National Pipe Threads (NPT) fittings coated with Self Sealer 617 were immersed in the automotive test fluids listed below at the specified temperature for 30 days. After the aging period, the assemblies were tested for fluid leaks. Assemblies passed 1035 kPa for one minute.
