Description
Equivalent to well-known brand product 577 – Yellow
Pipe Seal Adhesive with Approvals A2577 is used in the sealing of all types of threaded connections against water, oil, gases and most common materials conveyed by pipes. Once sealed the connection can withstand pressures up to 10,000 psi (689 bar).
Curing information
Pipe seal A2577 is a medium strength thixotropic acrylic based product which cures through its anaerobic cure system in contact with metals in the absence of air (oxygen). The rate of cure will depend on the bond gap. Threaded fasteners gap size is dependent on thread type and quality.
When cure speed is extended due to low temperatures or inactive surfaces, an activator can be used. The best results are found if A2577 is applied to a second or third threadform.
Not suitable for oxygen systems
A2577 is not suitable for oxygen systems.
Excess
Any excess can be simply wiped away, any migration into lines will not solidify and can be flushed away during commissioning.

Directions for use
- For optimum performance surfaces should be clean and free of grease (internal and external).
- If the material is an inactive metal consider using an activator.
- Shake the product thoroughly before use.
- Apply the product to the male fitting on the leading threads in a 360º bead, leave the first thread free, making sure all voids are full. For bigger threads apply more product accordingly and putting a bead on the female.
- Assemble and tighten as required.
- Properly tightened fittings will seal to moderate pressures instantly. For maximum resistance allow a minimum of 24 hours to cure.
Disassembly information
- Remove with standard hand tools.
- In circumstances where hand tools do not work, use localized heat to bolt or nut, disassemble while hot.
Cleaning information
To remove cured adhesive please use a combination of solvent and abrasion such as a wire brush.
