Although the benefits of LOCTITE® 5922 gasket dressing from Henkel have long been known, a new survey has revealed just how useful, versatile and impressive this advanced product is proving across a range of applications. The survey was conducted by Henkel in conjunction with a nationwide retailer of car spares and maintenance/repair services, the customers of which were asked to report their experiences of using LOCTITE 5922.
An initial distinction to make with LOCTITE 5922 is that it is not a gasket, but a gasket dressing. With this thought in mind, correct use is imperative, as indicated by one survey respondent.
“As a gasket dressing, this product is to be used in addition to gaskets. Its main purpose is to provide a high-tac surface that holds the gasket in place during assembly. I applied it thinly using a small hobby brush to the whole contact surface.”
This particular satisfied customer fully recommended the product and awarded it 5 out of 5 for both quality and value, demonstrating there is no market alternative that compares when used as instructed.
LOCTITE 5922 is a flexible sealant paste that changes to a pliable, non-hardening film through solvent evaporation. Suitable for application to gaskets, flanges, fittings, connections and flexible assemblies, the product aids the sealing process against any potential leakage. From a composition perspective, LOCTITE 5922 is based on resin, isopropanol and fillers to increase the reliability of gasket seals.
Importantly, the product can also be used for the repair of damaged pre-cut gaskets, as indicated by another survey participant who was happy to recommend the product to others for this purpose, giving it 4 out of 5 for quality and performance.
LOCTITE 5922 is specifically designed to improve the sealing performance and operating life of pre-formed gaskets made from materials that include metal, rubber, plastic and cork. The product will withstand temperatures extending from -55 to 200°C, making it well within the range of application requirements in the vehicle/engine repair and maintenance sector.
“This is a good product,” stated one customer emphatically, who not only recommended LOCTITE 5922 to others, but rated it at 4 out of 5 for quality, value and performance, the three principal attributes of any successful gasket dressing.
Thanks to its flexible, viscous constitution and slow dry time, LOCTITE 5922 is particularly easy to use. Moreover, as a single-part sealant, no mixing is required. For this reason, users of LOCTITE 5922 all over the world find it ideal for applications such as valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets and cover plates, to list but a few.
