MS-PTS-250 Swagelok SWAK® Anaerobic Thread Sealant, 250 cm3 Tube

Swagelok SWAK Sealant

Features

• Cures to a bond that resists vibration or shock
• Lubricates threads, preventing costly thread damage due to galling and seizing during assembly
• Allows low breakaway torque for easy-to-break connections, even after fully cured
• Is compatible with a wide range of chemicals
• Applies quickly and easily
• Clings to threads and will not shred or tear on assembly

Technical Information

• Composition: Resin (containing methacrylic ester) and PTFE particles
• Cure time: At room temperature, allow 24 h minimum before pressurizing➀.
• Pressure rating: To pipe or fitting working pressure up to 10 000 psig (689 bar), based on proper thread engagement
• Temperature rating: –65 to 350°F (–53 to 176°C)
• Viscosity: Greater than 100 000 cP, in accordance with ASTM D1824
• Storage temperature: 45 to 85°F (7 to 29°C)
• Shelf life: Five years at recommended storage temperature

Some fluids and materials are NOT compatible with SWAK. While not intended to be a complete list, they include the following:

• Plastic pipe or valve components other than PTFE
• Halogens
• Freon
• Pure oxygen
• Ozone
• Hydrazine
• Nitrogen dioxide
• High concentrations of strong acids or bases
• Food, cosmetic, drug, or water systems for human consumption
• Vacuum systems where any hydrocarbon outgassing will affect performance

➀Cure time and sealing are dependent on many variables, such as storage conditions, cleanliness of threads, quality of threads, temperature, materials of construction, proper assembly, specific gravity of system media, and system operating pressures.

The complete catalog contents must be reviewed to ensure that the system designer and user make a safe product selection. When selecting products, the total system design must be considered to ensure safe, trouble-free performance.
