Product Specifications
What is Leak Lock?
Leak Lock is a state-of-the-art high strength, pipe joint sealant consisting of chemically resistant film formers, plasticers, reinforcing fillers and solvents .
How It Works
When Leak Lock is applied to pipe joints, it adheres to the mating surfaces. After joints are assembled, Leak Lock sets to form a chemically resistant flexible fluid-tight seal.
How to Use It
Leak Lock should be applied to clean joint surfaces, either with the applicator brush or any convenient spatula. Apply Leak Lock to both mating surfaces. Tack should be allowed to develop before joints are assembled.
Where to Use It
Leak Lock can be used on all metal or plastic materials, including but not limited to, aluminum, aluminum alloys, cast irons, copper, copper alloys, (brass, bronze, etc ...), magnesium and magnesium alloys, carbon steels, stainless steels, galvanized surfaces, PVC, CPVC, ABS, fiberglass, black polypropylene, and kynar. Leak Lock should be applied to threaded joints, flanged joints, gasket surfaces and all mating surfaces where a fluid-tight seal is required. Special Applications - Leak Lock is ideal for joining dissimilar metals and materials. Prevents loosening of nuts, bolts, plugs and fittings. Call Highside for specific applications and compatibility.
