LOCTITE SI 5910

Main features

  • High Movement Flange Sealing
  • Engine Oil Resistance
  • Thixotropic Application Control

Product Description

LOCTITE® SI 5910® is a one-component, room-temperature-vulcanizing oxime silicone sealant supplied as a black thixotropic paste. It is designed for formed-in-place sealing of stamped sheet-metal covers and flanges, including timing covers and oil sumps, where resistance to automotive engine oils and high joint movement is required. The moisture-curing material limits migration after application and develops a flexible elastomeric seal with strong adhesion to metal substrates.

Key features

  • High-movement flange sealing: Produces a flexible cured seal with at least 400% elongation at break.
  • Excellent engine-oil resistance: Supports demanding automotive timing-cover, oil-sump, and flange-sealing applications.
  • Thixotropic one-component application: Requires no mixing and helps reduce migration after dispensing.
