Description
Equivalent to well-known brand product 577 – Yellow
Pipe Seal Adhesive 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 designed for the sealing and locking of metal fittings and pipes. The product is a single component anaerobic, medium strength thixotropic, acrylic based product. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents leakage and loosening from vibration and shock.
Where the cure speed is unacceptably long or large gaps are present. An activator can be applied to the surface which will improve cure speed.The best results are found if A2577 is applied to a second or third threadform. The rate of cure will depend on the bond gap. Threaded fasteners gap size is dependent on thread type and quality.
Application uses
This pipe seal adhesive is widely used in sealing threaded connections against:
- Ethanol
- Oil

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 localised 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.Precautionary information
