Description
Permabond® HH190 is an anaerobic curing flange sealant designed to replace conventional pre-cut gaskets or serve as a gasket dressing. It cures in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces.
Its flowable paste consistency allows metal-to-metal contact while filling surface irregularities. HH190 provides an instant pressure seal and ultimately seals up to 5000 psi, while maintaining uniform stress distribution across the flange.
Available in 50 mL bottles and 300 mL caulk tubes for maintenance and production applications.

Performance and Use
-
Eliminates pre-cut gaskets in metal flange assemblies
-
Conforms to flange irregularities while allowing metal-to-metal contact
-
No re-tightening required due to stress relaxation
-
Excellent resistance to shock and vibration
-
Non-flammable formulation
-
Retains strength after 340-hour immersion in water, motor oil, hydrocarbons, and other fluids (see TDS)
-
Not recommended for oxygen-rich systems or strong oxidizers
Application and Handling Notes
-
Apply as a continuous bead, roller, silkscreen, or stencil pattern
-
Encircle all potential leak paths, including bolt holes
-
Best performance on clean, dry, grease-free surfaces
-
Roughened surfaces (~25 µm) increase bond strength
-
On inactive metals such as zinc, aluminum, or stainless steel, cure speed may be reduced
-
Permabond A905 or ASC10 activators can be used to accelerate cure
-
Store at 5 to 25°C
Removal can be achieved using normal tools to separate flanges. Old adhesive should be removed prior to reassembly.
Common Applications
-
Metal flange sealing
-
Gearbox housings
-
Pump housings
-
Engine and machinery flange assemblies
-
Industrial equipment requiring pressure-tight sealing
