Description
LOCTITE® SI 598™ cures on exposure to moisture in the air to form a tough, flexible, silicone rubber gasket. This product resists aging, weathering and thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or cracking. Typical applications include oil pans, transmission pans, valve covers, valves and guides, timing gear covers, and differential covers. This product is typically used in applications with an operating range of -54 °C to 260 °C.
Metallic black, 1-part, thixotropic, room temperature vulcanizing oxime silicone paste sealant.
LOCTITE® SI 598 is a metallic black, 1-part, thixotropic, room temperature vulcanizing oxime silicone paste sealant.

TYPICAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
The product retains effective properties in contact with automotive fluids, such as motor oil, transmission fluids, alcohol and antifreeze solutions.
NOTE: Not recommended for parts in contact with gasoline.
Directions for use:
1. For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease.
2. Full performance properties will develop over 72 hours.
3. Moisture curing begins immediately after the product is exposed to the atmosphere, therefore parts to be assembled should be mated within a few minutes after the product is dispensed.
4. Excess material can be easily wiped away with non-polar solvents.
NOTE: LOCTITE® SI 598™ is not recommended for use as a cylinder head gasket or head gasket sealant.
5. For full automatic applications a volumetric dispensing system is recommended.
