- DVGW approval (reg. no. NG-5146BM0337), tested in accordance with DIN EN 751-1 (not permissible in domestic gas installations in Germany in accordance with TRGI 2008)
- NSF-tested in accordance with NSF/ANSI 61 for use in service water and drinking water up to +82°C
- Ruhr District Institute of Hygiene: Conforms to the formula recommended by the German Environment Agency for use in applications which come into contact with drinking water dated 11 February 2016. If being used as a thread sealant that comes into contact with water, please observe the relevant recommendations from the association of the adhesive and sealant industry.
- As a result of the intense accelerating effect of copper or copper alloys, the sealant can begin to cure during the sealing process. This can cause micro-cracks, which may lead to leaks in the future. We therefore strongly recommend preliminary tests for process assurance if the pipe sealant is used in connections containing copper that will come into contact with water ≥ 40°C in the long-term. The user is responsible for determining the suitability of the product for the particular application and adhesion process.
- The following plastics may be affected in the event of prolonged exposure to the liquid product: ABS, celluloid, expandable polystyrene, polycarbonate (Macrolon), PMMA (Plexiglas), polysulfone, SAN (Luran, Tyril), Vinidur, vulcanised fibre and painted surfaces.
- Not permissible in domestic gas installations in Germany in accordance with DVGW TRGI 2008.

Datasheets(X)
Seals metallic pipe connections in accordance with ISO 7.1 (conical/cylindrical threads) to R3".
Ideal for sealing fittings or valves, threaded connections in metal water pipes (as well as service water in heating or cooling circuits, sprinkler systems etc.).
It can also be used for sealing petrol pipes, diesel pipes or compressed air lines. The product is also suitable for sealing pressure regulators or oil separators in compressed air supplies.
This liquid plastic cures when in contact with metal in the absence of oxygen. The contact surfaces must be dry, dust-free and grease-free. Moisten the adhesive surfaces sufficiently and put them together immediately.
