This high-quality silicone sealant offers long-lasting elasticity and excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials, including standard metals, cast iron, plastics (except PE, PP, and PTFE), and glass. Thanks to the user-friendly 200ml gas cartridge, the product is easy and precise to apply, even in hard-to-reach areas.

Key Features of Dirko HT Black

• Chemical Base and Curing: Dirko HT Black is based on oxime silicones, providing a neutral curing process at room temperature. This chemical base prevents the formation of acidic by-products during curing, making the product safe to use on sensitive metal surfaces without the risk of corrosion. The sealant remains elastic and resistant to mechanical and thermal stress after curing.

• Temperature Resistance: This liquid sealant is designed to perform at temperatures ranging from -60°C to +285°C, with short-term peaks up to +315°C. This makes Dirko HT Black ideal for use in high thermal load environments, such as engines, exhaust systems, and heating installations. The impressive temperature resistance ensures the sealant remains reliable even under extreme conditions.

• Superior Adhesion: Dirko HT Black offers excellent adhesion to various materials, including galvanized steel, aluminum, and certain plastics such as polyamide 6.6. The sealant adheres reliably without the need for a primer, ensuring easy application and durable performance. This makes the product versatile for use in both the automotive sector and industrial applications.

• Long-Lasting Elasticity and Durability: With a break elongation of 400% and a tensile strength of 3.3 N/mm², Dirko HT Black provides both flexibility and durability. The sealant remains elastic after curing, allowing it to withstand vibrations and mechanical stresses without cracking or breaking. This is especially important for applications requiring movement and flexibility, such as in engines and drivetrains.

• Chemical Resistance: Dirko HT Black is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including mineral oils, synthetic oils, lubricants, coolants, UV radiation, salt water, and both cold and hot water. This extensive chemical resistance ensures that the sealant maintains its integrity even in aggressive environments like engine compartments and industrial installations.

Applications The 200ml Compressed Gas Cartridge of Dirko HT Black is perfect for a wide range of applications where precision and ease of application are essential:

• Valve Covers and Oil Pans: Ideal for sealing valve covers and oil pans in engines, where the sealant must withstand high temperatures and oils. The cartridge makes application easy, even in tight spaces.

• Water and Oil Pumps: The chemical resistance of Dirko HT Black makes it an excellent choice for sealing water and oil pumps, where the product must endure constant exposure to coolants and lubricants.

• Thermostat and Control Housings: Dirko HT Black provides reliable seals in thermostat and control housings, which is crucial for preventing leaks and maintaining system efficiency.

• Flange Connections and Lighting Elements: The liquid sealant is also suitable for sealing flange connections and lighting elements, where waterproofing and durability are essential.

Application and Use The 200ml Compressed Gas Cartridge is designed for easy and controlled application. For best results, ensure that the surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, and free from oil and grease. The liquid sealant can be applied at ambient temperatures between +5°C and +35°C. After application, the sealant quickly forms a skin and fully cures within 24 hours under normal environmental conditions.

Storage and Shelf Life Dirko HT Black should be stored in a cool, dry environment (+5°C to +25°C) to maintain product quality. In unopened packaging, the product has a shelf life of at least 12 months, allowing for worry-free storage for future use.
