 | L750, Cutting and Tapping Fluid |
| LHC724, sealant formulated for cast iron, steel, brass and stainless steel |
| LHC623, sealant formulated for aluminum and all press-fit parts |
Here's a great product. A cutting and tapping fluid
created to work with cast iron, steel, and aluminum. Our newest formula
for L750 increases drying time, lengthens the life of your tooling, still dries
without a residue, and lets you use just one tapping fluid for all your
jobs. And all without the use of 1-1-1 trichlorethane or a low flashpoint.
| Part # | |
| L750-2 (2 ounces) | |
| L750-4 (4 ounces) | |
| L750-32 (32 ounces) |
We're very proud of our sealants. These sealants are valuable tools to have in your shop. They cure quickly to save you time between the repair and pressure-testing. And our sealants conduct heat, eliminating the complications of uneven heat transfer.
LHC724 works well with cast iron, steel, brass and stainless steel. It has a very low viscosity which lets the fluid flow into small pores and voids with vigorous capillary action. This provides extra insurance that your repair will pass pressure-testing the first time.
LHC623 is formulated to be used with aluminum, the installation of seats and guides in aluminum heads, and during the installation of locks in any material. LHC623 is slightly thicker than LHC724 because of an additive that prevents the aluminum from galling. You will appreciate the way this additive lubricates your press-fit parts. You can eliminate freezing seats and heating heads before seat installation. Apply LHC623 and the seats can be driven into place.
Even if they seem like it, our sealants are not magic, just good products (no, make that great)!
| Improve heat transfer by filling small voids with micron-sized, thermally-conductive particles |
| Improve stitching pin thread and lock seal |
| Seal and retain valve seat inserts - improved heat transfer will increase valve and seat life |
| Seal and retain cylinder sleeves, bolt hole sleeves, injector tubes, water-cooled valves guides, freeze plugs or any other parts which require a positive seal and heat transfer |
| Easy to use one-part anaerobic cures in the absence of oxygen |
| Air space in bottle prevents curing before
you use the sealant |
