Typical applications include stamped sheet metal covers
(timing covers and oil sumps) where good oil resistance and
the ability to withstand high joint-movement is required. 50
It withstands on line, low pressure tests carried out before
product begins to cure. The thixotropic nature of LOCTITE® SI
