Information Sheet No. 1
What is an Adhesive? What is Sealant? How Do They Differ?
Adhesives and sealants are often lumped together, as they were versions of
the same product with the same function. But they’re not. Adhesives and
sealants are different.
Adhesives: Functions and Forms
An adhesive is a material that joints two surfaces together by bonding them.

It is usually applied as a thin layer between two surfaces.
To meet the performance needs of the particular application, two factors are
important:
 Adhesion – the adhesion must bond with each substrate (sticking to

them) so they can be held together. If the product will not adhere to
one of the surfaces, then the materials cannot be joined.
 Cohesion – the adhesive must have enough internal strength so that
it holds together and does not break within the film of adhesive when
force is applied to pull the two surfaces apart.
The level of required adhesion built into a formation depends on the

application. The designed adhesive strength the amount of force needed to
pull the two substrates apart-depends on the end use. Less adhesive
strength is necessary for temporary labels that are formulated for easy
removal that for high-strength products that must hold parts of airplanes
together. The level of cohesion depends on the application. In some
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
applications, if enough force is applied to separate the two surfaces, it is
better that the adhesive film itself, breaks so that the surface of the bonded
material is not damaged.
Adhesives can be simple, made up of only one or two ingredients, or they

can be highly complex, using the most advanced chemical components.
They can be water-thin and runny, or very thick. They can air dry by
evaporation or water or they can cure by under going chemical reaction to
form a new, stronger composition.
Sealants: Functions and Forms
A Sealant is a material designed only to fill up spaces can be joints, gaps or

cavities that occur between two substrates.
Adhesive vs. Sealant: Sealant
Some examples:
 The space between a bathtub and wall.
 The space between two precast concrete panels forming the wall of a
warehouse.
 The space between the body and fender of a car.
The sealant is not there to hold the two materials together but is used only
to form a seal against the entry of:
 Liquids – like rain on a window or water on a bathroom wall.

 Gases – like air and wind that could come in through gaps between
panes of glass and a window frame. For examples, air coming into an
automobile.
 Solids – like dust or blowing dirt.
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
Like adhesives, sealants can ne very thin or very thick, depending on where
and how applied. They will harden or cure in place. To form a successful
seal, the sealant must adhere to the surfaces that are forming the gap.
However, the primary purpose is filling, not bonding. Included in the family
of sealants are putties, caulks, mastics, and high performance sealants.
Factors for successful performance of a sealant include:
 Impermeability – air and water must not go through the sealant.
 Flexibility – while forming a solid, the cured sealant must be elastic

enough to maintain the tight seal even when there is movement of the
substrates. And example is a glass curtain wall building, where the
spaces between the panes of glass and the underlying steel structure
are filled with sealant. As the sun hits the wall in the morning, the
steel will expand more than the glass, and there will be a shift in
relative positions of the steel and the glass. The sealant must be able
to move, adhering firmly to the glass and to the steel, and not have
cracks or holes formed within the sealant that would let in air.
 Stability - the sealant should not substantially change between the

time it is manufactured and the time it is applied. It is should not pre-
cure in the can or cartridge.
 Rheology – if applied to a surface, as between two walls panels, it

must stay in place and not sag. If applied in a horizontal gap, as
between the sections of an airport runway, it must level or even out.
TYPES AND USES OF GASKET SEALANT
A gasket sealant is a liquid compound use to improve gasket sealing,

hold gasket in place, repair a damaged gasket, or form a new gasket. These
sealants flow into surface irregularities and improving gasket sealing. There
is a wide range of gasket sealants from which to choose.
(Figure 14-9).
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
Gasket sealants differ in a number of ways. Different sealants are
designed to operate at different temperature range. A sealant must be
chosen that has a high enough temperature range from the area in which it
is to be used. Sealants used with cylinder head gaskets must withstand
temperature in excess of 400ºF (204ºC).
ADHESIVES, SEALANT, AND OTHER CHEMICAL SEALING MATERIALS
There are a number of chemicals that can be used to reduce labor and
ensure a good seal. Many gasket sets include a label with the proper
chemical recommendation for use with the gasket set. Some even include
sealers in the sets when the original equipment manufacturer used a sealer
to replace a gasket cannot be manufactures for that application. They also
include sealers in some sets when gasket unions need a sealant to ensure a
good seal.
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
SHOP TALK
Chemical adhesives and sealants give added holding power and

sealing ability where two parts are joined. Sealants usually are added to
threads where fluid contact is frequent. Chemical thread retainers are either
aerobic (cures in the presence of air) or anaerobic (cures in the absence of
air). These chemical products are used in place of lock washers.
Of course, there are numerous locations in an engine where precut or

premolded gaskets can benefit from the services of a chemical sealant. For
example, to seal the intake manifold on a V-type engine, it is important to
place a dab of silicon in the corners. The same can be said about the front
cover-to-oil-pan joint, rear bearing can seals and valley pan manifold
installations.
ADHESIVES
Quick-drying contact adhesive is designed for bonding cork, rubber,
fiber, and metal gaskets in the place prior to assembly. Gaskets adhesives
form a tough bond when used on clean, dry surfaces. Adhesives do not aid
the sailing ability of the gasket. They are meant only to hold gaskets in place
during component assembly. Use small dabs; they will dry quicker for fast
installation. Do not assemble components until the adhesive completely dry.
Most adhesives are ideal for use on gasket application such as valve covers
pushrod covers, manifold and manifold end seals and oil pan end seals.
(Figure 13-24).
SEALANTS
General-Purpose Sealants
General-purpose sealers (sometimes called chemical positioning
agents) come in liquid form and are available in a brush type (known as
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
brush tack). General purpose sealers (Figure 13-25) fro a tacky, flexible seal
when applied in a thin, even coat that aids in gasket sealing by helping to
position the gasket during assembly. They chemicals in a general-purpose
sealant will not upset the designed performance of most mechanical gaskets.
The possible exception to this is that sealant manufacturers do not
recommend their use on rubber parts. These are non hardening and can use
rubber gaskets to slip.
WARNING
Never use a hard-drying sealant (Such as shellac) on gasket. It will

make future disassembly extremely difficult and might damage the gasket
material.
Flexible Sealants
Flexible sealants are most often used on threads of bolt that go into
fluid passages.
They are non hardening sealers that fill voids. Preventing the fluid from
running-up of treads. They resist the chemical attack of lubricant, synthetic
oils, detergents, antifreeze, gasoline, and diesel.
Silicone Formed-in-place Sealants
Sealants gasket can be used to replace conventional paper, cork and

cork/rubber gaskets. It is generally for use on oil pans, valve covers
thermostat housing, timing covers, water pumps, and other such
installations. Room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone sealing products
are the best known of the formed-in-place (FIP) gasket products.
WARNING!
Be careful not to use excessive amounts of RTV. If too mush is

applied, it can loosen up and get into the oil system where it can clog up
and oil passage and cause severe engine damage.
Today’s RTV aerobic silicone formulations are impervious to most

automotive fluids, extremely resistant to oil, oxygen-sensor safe, exhibit
outstanding flexibility (a necessary feature on modern bimetal engines), and
adhere well to a broad range of materials that include plastic, metal and
glass.
To use RTV silicone, make sure the mating surfaces are free from dirt,
grease, and oil. Apply a continuous 1/8 – inch bead on one surface only
(preferably the cover side). Make sure to circle all bolt holes. Adjust the
shape before a skin forms (in about 10 minutes) as shown in Figure 13-26.
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
Remove excess RTV silicone with a fry towel or paper towel. Press the parts
together. Do not slide the parts together; this will disturb the bead. Tighten
all retaining bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque. Cure time is
approximately 1 hour form metal-to-metal joints and take up to 24 hours for
1/8-inch gaps.
CAUTION:
The uncured rubber contained in RTV silicone gasketing irritates the

eyes. If any gets in your eyes, immediately flush with clean water or
eyewash. If the irritation continues, see a doctor.
Anaerobic Formed-in-place Sealants

August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
These formed-in-place materials are used for thread locking as well as
gasket (Figure 13-27). As a retaining compound, they are mostly used to
hold sleeves, bearings, and locking screw nuts in place where there is a high
exposure vibration.
WARNING!
Never use a sealant or formed-in-place gasket or exhaust manifolds.
The major difference between aerobic and anaerobic sealants other

than their method of curing is their gap-filing ability. Typically, 0.050 inch
(3/64 inch) is the absolute limit of any anaerobic’s gap-filling materials.
Some are only designed to seal 0.005-010-inch gaps. Anaerobic sealers are
intended to the used between the machined surfaces of rigid castings, not
on flexible stampings.
SHOP TALK
One hardened, a good anaerobic bond is unbelievably tenacious and

withstand high temperatures. Therefore, care must be taken in selection.
They tend to be highly specialized and mot readily interchangeable. For
example, there are various levels of tread-locking products that range from
medium-strength anti-vibration agents to high strength, weld like retaining
compounds. The inadvertent use of the wrong product could make future
disassembly an impossibility. Check the label to be certain that anaerobic
material will suit the purpose of the application.
Hylomar
Hylomar, which stands for high temperature (hy), low (lo), Martson
(mar) product, is neither an RTV nor an anaerobic. It is a combination of
polyurethane paste and silica (not silicone) flakes mixed with methylene
cholorided solvent. When Hylomar is clamped in a joint, the silica flakes
interlocked and encaptulate the plastic paste, effectively shielding it from
heat, liquids, and contaminants that might otherwise dissolve it. Because
Hylomar never hardens or cures, the center remains soft and pliabe-like an
armor-plated sponge.
As a sealing supplement, Hylomar sticks to vitually any surface,

resists all fluids (including gasoline), and has a claimed temperature range
of 50º to more than 600ºF. In addition, if a Hylomar-coated gasket is set
down wrong, it can be peeled off and reseated without damage.

Antiseize Compounds
Antiseize compounds prevent dissimilar metals from reacting with one

another and seizing (Figure 13-28). This chemical-type material is used on
many fasteners, especially those used with aluminum parts. Always follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations when using this compound.

Sealant/Adhesive
Prepare surface for sealant/adhesive
Special procedures for installing gaskets are found in the section that
covers the part to be fastened to the engine block or cylinder head.
1. Never reuse old gasket. Even it the old gasket appears to be in good
condition, it will never seal as well as a new one. The old gasket
has been exposed to high combustion temperatures and pressures,
hot oil coolant, and might have worn or damaged sealing surfaces.
It also has been compressed by bolt torquing to fit the parts it has
been sealing. It will not be able to reform itself to create another
good seat.
2. Handle new gasket carefully. Be careful not to damage the new
gasket before placing them on the engine. Any bend or crease in
the gasket material is a potential weak spot that might cause a
leak after installation. This is specially true of the composition type
gasket used on many cylinder heads and manifolds. If any attempt
is made to strengthen a bent or distorted gasket, it could fracture
the gasket and create a weak spot. Protect the new gaskets by
keeping them in their packages until installation.
Using Service Manuals
Always refer to the specific engine and engine part section of the
service manual for the recommended procedures for using sealant.
3. Use gasket sealant only when they are absolutely necessary. The
hot oil environment of an engine can cause some chemical sealant
to react adversely with the binding compound in composition-type
gaskets, causing the gasket to deteriorate and leak.
SHOP TALK
Some technicians tend to use too much sealant on gaskets. Do not

make this mistake. Because sealants have less strength than gasket
materials, they create weaker joints they can also present some gasket
material from doing what is supposed to do, which is to soak up oil and
swell to make a tight seal.
4. Cleanliness is essential. New gasket seal best when used on clean

surfaces. Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces of dirt. Oil deposits,

Sealant/Adhesive
rust, old sealer, and gasket material. If any foreign substances
remain, they can create a path for leaks. Scraping is away the old
gasket is not an easy job, but the essential to ensure a leak-free
seal. When using a hand gasket scraper on aluminum parts, be
very careful not to scratch the softer metal surfaces (Figure 13-14).
5. Use the right gasket in the right position. Always compare the new
gasket to the component mating surfaces to make sure it is the
right gasket (Figure 13-15). Comparing the new gasket with the
original is another way to make sure you are using the correct part.
Check that all bolt holes, dowel holes, pushrod openings, coolant,
and lubrication passages line up perfectly with the gasket. Some
gaskets will have directions such as “top”, ”this side up”, stamped
on one surface. Follow these instructions exactly when putting the
gasket in place. An upside-down or reversed gasket can easily
cause loss of oil pressure, overheating, and engine failure.

SEALANTS
Our third major section of “Seals” is sealants, which we will cover

now.
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
Sealants are similar to gaskets, except that a sealant is applied as a liquid
or paste, while a gasket is usually precut to fit and always placed between
mating surfaces.
However, solid sealing tapes are also considered as “sealants” in this section
because they are not cut to size and are also used to cover seams.
Another type of “sealant” is the adhesive, which is used for its holding power
rather than its ability to seal.
The jobs of sealants are similar to those of gaskets: exclude dust, dirt, and
moisture – or contain a liquid or gas. However, unlike gaskets, sealants are
also used as protective coatings, to reduce noise, to improve appearance,
and to perform a joining function.
Sealants are normally used for less severe conditions of temperature and
pressure than gaskets (there are exceptions). But sealants are often more
resistant to chemicals and more economical to use than gaskets.
TYPES OF SEALANTS
The major categories of sealants are:
 Hardening types
 Nonhardening types
 Tapes
Whether a sealant is hardening or nonhardening depends upon its chemical

composition and curing characteristics, rather than its initial form. Sealants
generally come in nonsolid forms in a wide range of viscosities. Some epoxy
sealers come in powdered form and must ne melted when applied. Certain
asphalt-based sealers and waxes are solid, and applied by a hot-melt
system. Thermosetting film adhesives used for sealing also come in tape
form, and they generally require heat and pressure for curing.
Hardening Types
These sealants can be divided into two classes:

 Rigid – which cure or set up firm.
 Flexible – which remain flexible after cure.
RIGID or hard-setting sealants are characterized by their inability to flex.

They crack if flexed, and are often difficult to remove. Some notably the
epoxies can join as well as seal.
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
Common rigid sealants which are distinctive to this group are those based
on components of epoxies, polyesters, acrylics, polyamides, and polyvinyl
acetates (PVA)
FLEXIBLE sealants remain flexible after curing, and have elastic bases.
Their range of flexibility varies considerably, as does hardness. Some of
these sealants are true rubbers; many have good adhesive qualities; and all
can be compounded to resists a variety of environmental conditions.
The flexible sealants are either true elastomers – that is, they return to their
original shape after being deflected – or are characterized by an ability to
deform or stretch without tearing, but do not return to their original shape.
NONHARDENING TYPES
These soft-setting sealants stay “wet” after application and never truly dry.
They generally cannot be depended on to perform a joining function,
although some formulations are used as adhesives in very low-stress joints.
These sealants are characterized by the “mastic” type pastes usually applied
to seams with trowel or brush.
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
TAPES
Tapes are available in a variety of backing and adhesives – usually in

pressure-sensitive or solvent – activated adhesive-backs. Self-sticking tapes
are also made.
Some nonhardening sealants are formulated so that they can be packaged

in “tape” form. These are not adhesive-backed and can be easily thumbed
into place.
JOINTS FOR SEALANTS
Joints to which a sealant can be applied depend to a great extent on the

type of sealant.
For example, a free-flowing sealant cannot be applied to a vertical surface; a

nonsagging type must be used.
Typical common joints are the simple but joint, and the lap joint (Figure 66).
Lap joints can be most easily sealed with tape; filled-sealed, if the thickness
of the joined sheets will support a bead of sealant; and sandwich sealed.
Sandwhich sealing is a common method with structural adhesives. Where
ordinary sealants are used, the sealing material is brushed, extruded,
troweled, or thumbed on, and the lap joint made and mechanically secured
with rivets, or bolts and nuts.
Sealant thickness is more critical when material is applied between

surfaces. However, where sealant thickness is not critical, curing time can
be delayed considerably by overly thick applications of the material.
If lap joints cannot be sandwich-sealed, the joint should have a built-in

receptacle to receive the sealant.
Voids can results in a joint unless care is taken during application. When
beads of sealant are laid in a joint, and air spaces are unavoidable, tooling
the sealant before it cures helps to the cavities.
When applying sealant, always follow the manufacturer’s instruction for

proper steps in placing and curing.
USES OF SEALANTS
August 2021
Sealant/Adhesive
An inside sealer keeps in a fluid or other medium; an outside sealer keeps
out contaminants: some sealers perform both functions.
However, sealants can be used to perform other functions some of which are
almost as important as the primary role of sealing. These are: (1) Joining; (2)
Electrical or thermal insulating; (3) Noise reduction; (4) Vibration
dampening; (5) Expansion and contraction control; (6) Smooting and
filleting; (7) Protective coating; (8) Tampering prevention.
Where conditions are too severe, sealants can often do the job better and
more cheaply than gaskets.
