PS253 Pipe Sealant Medium Strength

Akfix PS253 is a medium viscosity and medium strength anaerobic pipe sealant. Thixotropic formulation reduces run-off and migration of the product before assembly.

• It can be easily applied to threaded joints and removed easily with hand tools.
• With its specialized formulation, PS253 can be used applications where high pressure proof or oil resistance is required.
• The product resists very high temperatures after full curing.

• Clean male and female threads before assembly with an absorbent tissue paper to remove any cutting oil.
• Apply the adhesive with a 360 turn to leading threads of the male and female fittings.
• Use an absorbent tissue paper to wipe off excess jointing compound in the direction of the thread.
• Assembly parts and hold on for 24 hours at 22-24°C to ensure full curing of jointing compound.
• For disassembly, use hand tools to remove mating parts. When it is hard to dissemble at room temperature, apply local heat until reaching 250°C and disassemble while hot. Then, remove any residual cured adhesive mechanically and clean parts with a proper solvent, acetone.
