Description
ABRO Red RTV Silicone Gasket Maker – Hi-Temp/Low Volatile (Part No. 11-AB)
The ABRO Red RTV Silicone Gasket Maker is a professional-grade, high-temperature, and low-volatile sealant engineered to create durable, leak-proof, formed-in-place gaskets instantly. It is the perfect solution for demanding applications exposed to extreme heat and vibration, especially in automotive, marine, and industrial environments.
This formula eliminates the need for conventional pre-cut gaskets by forming a tough, flexible, and reliable seal that resists cracking, shrinking, and migration caused by thermal cycling.
Key Product Qualities & Features

Simple Application Steps
-
Clean Surface: Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be sealed, removing all old gasket material, grease, oil, and dirt. Ensure surfaces are dry.
-
Apply Bead: Apply a continuous, uniform $1/16”$ to $1/8”$ (1.5 mm to 3 mm) bead around the perimeter of one surface, fully encircling all bolt holes.
-
Assembly: Immediately join the parts. Do not over-tighten bolts. Remove excess silicone with a dry cloth or alcohol wipe. Allow to set up (approx. 10 minutes) before fully tightening to the recommended torque.
