Description
Permabond® LM012 is a high-performance anaerobic thread sealant designed for hydraulic systems, metal pipe fittings, and high-pressure applications. Unlike conventional sealants, LM012 is an unfilled resin, meaning it won’t clog hydraulic screens or valves, ensuring optimal system performance. It cures at room temperature and withstands chemicals, high pressure, and extreme temperatures.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Reliable Sealing – Forms a durable, leak-proof seal that withstands the burst pressure of pipes
✅ Hydraulic System Safe – Unfilled formula prevents clogging in hydraulic screens and valves
✅ MIL-SPEC Compliant – Meets MIL-S-22473 Grade HVV (Group 01, Class 6, Grade 3) and ASTM D5363 AN 0163 standards for military and industrial use
✅ Chemical & Temperature Resistant – Performs under extreme conditions, including exposure to fuels, oils, and brake fluids
✅ Fast Curing – Achieves handling strength in 30 minutes and full cure in 24 hours
✅ Easy to Apply – Simple, no-mess application with directional freedom
✅ Solvent-Free – Non-shrinking, non-cracking formulation for long-term reliability
