Questions & Answers

May be I'm asking a stupid question, but would it have anything to do with Teflon tape? Could I relocate my oil filter using the pipe fittings included in the kit?

As a spray version of Acetone, Permatex Surface Prep is basically an evaporative solvent with mild etching, catalytic additives, and mild oxidant absorption. The primary purpose of it is to clean the metal so you can apply Permatex Sealant or Gasket Maker to it afterwards so it Permatex Anaerobic Gasket Maker on aluminum case flanges and Permatex High Temperature Thread Sealant on threaded fittings are the only two products that I use with it. If you are positive that you will use Teflon tape, you should apply Surface Prep before you apply it since it will only improve the sealing ability of the tape. However, it is not mandated if you are certain you will use Teflon In order to seal threaded joints, which will be used with automotive fluids and lubricants, I recommend This product comes in a 20 fluid ounce bottle. Permatex part number 59214 is used to manufacture the tube). As a result of being able to seal threaded joints well in high pressure and high temperature applications, I would recommend it over Teflon Go to the Permatex website to learn more about it.

This is the same as brake cleaner, isn't it?

As it aids in faster cure times of anaerobic sealant once applied to a clean surface, it is not a break cleaner.

Could this be used to prepare silicone that will be applied to ?

As a solvent, it can be used in various applications Permatex Anaerobic Gasket Maker is a water-based metal cleaner that contains a tiny amount of additives it is designed to chemically activate. To compare it to an aerosol, I can only say it is similar The propellant form of Acetone is not well regulated, so I cannot guarantee that it would be safe to use as a pre-treatment All types of silicone-based wounds can be treated The materials used in the construction are carbon-based. recommend you test the 24163 Surface Prep product on a small amount of your sample material first, in an area that won't be seen (or won't matter if it is damaged). You could also test on a small, unnoticeable area of your substrate. Acetone on the silcone substrate will display the following surface Permatex 24163 Surface Prep spray would be safe to use, I would feel confident as long as their silicone base is not damaged in any way by Acetone. *br>In my opinion, if I understand your application correctly, Isopropyl Alcohol (70% or more concentration) would be an adequate or more suitable cleaner for the silicone surface, prior to applying the It is really important to have a surface completely free of dirt, oil and grease without causing any damage, and alcohol is powerful enough to do that, plus it evaporates in a few minutes.

A true Permatex Surface Prep is required in the auto We would not be able to get work done The Permatex 24163 Surface Prep Activator for Anaerobics, 4 oz
5/5

The amount of chocolate is 5 ounces. 1. , 2. , 3. , It is required/specified by automobile manufacturers to clean thread sealers and other gasket materials with this permatex cleaner before using thread sealers. helps other materials dry fast in the winter or when it is cold, and it makes a big difference. It means there are no leaks or need to wait 72 hours before the pressure system is pumped. Glad I found it here. Thanks for offering a great product. I appreciate it.

This is a highly recommended product
5/5

He had a hydraulic tank repaired on a light lawn mower. A teflon paste was applied to the strainer bung that is threaded 1 1/4" - it worked. In the short time following its fill, it leaked. After draining the tank, fill it back up with water The permatex sealant and the surface prep activator were used to seal the bung. I've been mowing for one month now and I haven't experienced any I did not even notice Oil pan plugs have also been repaired with this product I have not found any My only regret is that I did not know about this stuff way back then. This is a highly recommended product.

I have no doubt it delivers on what it promises. Also, I use it as a prep for preparing any anaerobic substance that.
