Overview
Forch K114 Hydraulic Pipe Seal (50ml) is an essential medium-strength sealant that secures and seals screw threads against various substances including gas, water, hydrocarbons, oil, liquid gas, and petrol. It effectively replaces traditional sealing methods such as hemp, PTFE, and solid sealants, making it a reliable and efficient choice for industrial and professional uses. Its application is straightforward and can be removed using common tools. However, it does not meet the standards required for domestic gas installations. Recognized for its robust formulation, the sealant demonstrates significant reliability and durability under a wide range of temperatures from -55°C to +150°C.
