Sealing
Sealing of Threads
Besides sealing fine threads, Cyberbond « S » series can also seal pipefittings due to its ability to resist most chemicals. As with threadlocking, the space between the threads is completely filled with adhesive and this seals the fitting. Depending on which sealant has been selected, initial leak tests may be carried out immediately as the liquid sealant cures relatively quickly.
Sealing of Flanges
In many cases, Cyberbond « S » series products are able to replace traditional rigid joint faces. When used to seal a flange, Cyberbond offers the advantage of protecting the joint against corrosion. Due to the various strength classes available, a designer has the possibility to design different types of joints. For example, this concerns a joint that is easy to disassemble, or the choice to improve the mechanical resistance of the total construction of the joint by selecting a higher strength product. Cyberbond flange sealants are resistant to the more popular oils and gases. Also sealing tests up to1 bar can be carried out immediately when parts have been fully assembled.
Another great advantage of the Cyberbond sealant « S »series is that no joint settlement will take place. Compared to traditional rigid flanges there is no need to re-tighten the flange bolts.
The storage of just one liquid gasket compared to many solid types offers further benefits. The application of Cyberbond is simple and very quick. If on a large and fast production line then normally robots or silkscreen methods are used. On smaller production lines or in the case of maintenance then Cyberbond can be applied simply from the bottle or tube. A brush can also be used to distribute the product. Complicated designs and joints are easily sealed using the Cyberbond « S » series of products, but a certain overlap width must be granted (about 5 mm min.; about 3 mm min. around bold holes).
