LOCTITE® 30516 Aviation Gasket Sealant is a dark reddish brown, viscous liquid with a characteristic alcoholic odor. It is a slow drying liquid that changes to a pliable, tacky film through solvent evaporation. It seals close fitting parts, machined surfaces and threaded connections in industrial, aircraft, and marine applications.
Loctite Aviation Gasket Sealant once applied, develops a hard, semi-flexible sealant by solvent evaporation. Dry times will vary with temperature, humidity and gap. Product Benefits

Typical Curing Performance
Loctite Aviation Gasket Sealant once applied, develops a hard, semi-flexible sealant by solvent evaporation. Dry times will vary with temperature, humidity and gap.
Chemical / Solvent Resistance
The product retains effective properties in contact with water, ethylene glycol, gasoline, motor oil, transmission fluid and sea water.
- Remove all previous material from mating surfaces.
- For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a
residue-free solvent.
- Remove cap. Coat with brush-top applicator.
- When used as a gasket dressing, spread product with
a spatula to a uniform film on one side of gasket and
then position it on the assembly. Coat the second side
of gasket and re-assemble. Slower drying formula
increases work time.
- Assembly is operational after 4 hours, full cure is
effective after 24 hours.
For Cleanup
- The product can be removed from metal surfaces with
isopropyl alcohol. If the sealant has been dried for a
long time or at high temperatures, cover the sealant
with alcohol and allow to soften overnight.
- Clean hands with hand cleaners.
