Description
The Henkel LOCTITE IS-90C Acrylic Sealant Clear – 4 Gallon Pail is a one-component, low-viscosity, heat-cured acrylic resin engineered to seal porosity in castings, weldments, and powder-metal parts. Its advanced formulation penetrates deeply into micro-porous structures and cures into a permanent, transparent thermoset polymer—creating durable, leak-proof parts without affecting dimensional accuracy.
Designed for reliability in manufacturing environments, this sealant is ideal for industries that demand precision and performance, such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment production. The LOCTITE IS-90C offers fast, clean processing with its water-washable formula and delivers consistent results in both low- and medium-volume operations.
Key Features
• One-Component System: Ready to use; no mixing or catalysts required.
• Low Viscosity: Deeply penetrates pores and voids for complete sealing.
• Heat-Cure Technology: Forms a tough, thermoset polymer with superior adhesion.
• Water-Washable: Cleans easily before curing for simplified workflow.
• Chemical & Temperature Resistant: Withstands oils, coolants, fuels, and thermal cycling.
• Transparent Finish: Allows easy visual inspection of sealed surfaces.
• Military Specification Compliant: Meets MIL-I-17563C Class 1 requirements.
• High Yield & Low Waste: Minimizes rework and scrap, improving process efficiency.
Applications
• Metal Casting Porosity Sealing: For aluminum, zinc, magnesium, and ferrous castings.
• Powder Metal Components: Prevents gas and fluid leaks while maintaining part strength.
• Weldments & Assemblies: Seals fine weld porosity to improve part integrity.
• Automotive & Aerospace Manufacturing: Ideal for engine blocks, transmission housings, and fluid-handling components.
• Hydraulic & Pneumatic Parts: Enhances durability and prevents pressure loss.
• Industrial Maintenance & Repair: Reliable for rework and restoration of porous parts.
Benefits
• Permanent Sealing Performance: Creates a long-lasting barrier against pressure and fluids.
• Simplified Processing: Easy water cleanup before curing and single-step application.
• Operational Cost Savings: Reduces waste, rework, and downtime.
• Improved Part Reliability: Ensures structural integrity and leak-free performance.
• Safe & Efficient Handling: Low VOC, solvent-free formulation minimizes workplace hazards.
• Transparent Finish: Maintains aesthetic and dimensional precision after cure.
