LM012 Hydraulic Sealing Anaerobic Thread Sealant, Brown
Permabond® LM012 is an unfilled, medium-viscosity anaerobic adhesive. Its major benefit as related to other pipe sealants is that it is an unfilled resin that is compatible with hydraulic fluids. If the adhesive is accidentally spilled into the hydraulic system, e.g., squeezed out of the joint, it will be dispersed in the fluid. It contains no particles that can clog or foul hydraulic screens and valves. Thus it is used in very sensitive high-pressure hydraulic systems.
- Full cure seal to the burst rating of the pipe
- Easy to use and apply
- Directional freedom
- Does not contain solvents
- Excellent chemical and temperature resistance
- Cures at room temperature
- Ideal for sealing hydraulic systems

Physical Properties of Uncured Adhesive
- Chemical composition: Methacrylate esters
- Appearance: Brown
- Viscosity @ 25°C: 2,000 mPa.s (cP)
- Specific Gravity: 1.1
- Particle Size: <10µm
- UV fluorescence: Yes
Typical Curing Properties
- Maximum gap fill: 0.2mm (0.008")
- Maximum thread size: M20 (3/4")
- Time taken to reach handling strength (M10 steel) @23°C: 30 minutes*
- Full strength (M10 steel) @23°C: 24 hours
*Handling time at 23°C / 73°F. Copper and its alloys will make the adhesive cure more quickly, while oxidized or passivated surfaces (like stainless steel) will reduce cure speed. To reduce curing time, use Permabond activator A905 or ASC10 alternatively, increasing the curing temperature will reduce curing time.
