How Expand-A-Seal Works:

1. Install an Expand-A-Seal-coated fastener into its mating part.
2. The installation pressure causes the Encapsulated Epoxy Resin and Expanding Capsules to burst and mix with the Epoxy Hardener.
3. A chemical reaction makes the Epoxy expand, filling the fastener thread gaps while hardening.
4. The fastener is fixed in place within 10-15 minutes. Full cure is achieved in 24 hours.

Applications:

Use Expand-A-Seal ES0105 to seal critical applications where shock, vibration and fluid pressure cause the fastener to loosen or the joint to leak. Typical applications include:

• Engine pipe plugs
• Air fitting connectors
• Compressor fittings
• Cooling connectors
• Marine ride plates
