Expand-A-Seal ES0105®
Expand-A-Seal ES0105 is a unique microencapsulated expanding thread sealing and locking compound.
Description:
- Expand-A-Seal ES0105 expands volumetrically 20-50% and fills gaps and voids in threads to create a positive seal against air and most automotive fluids.
- Engaging the coated fastener allows two simultaneous reactions to take place. One reaction allows for the expansion of the material to fill any gaps or voids that may be present in the joint, the other reaction creates a fixture within minutes of assembly.
- Expand-A-Seal ES0105 achieves full cure 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 and more.

Features:
Low Prevailing On Torque: Assembles easily with common hand tools.
Exceptional Locking Power: Expand-A-Seal ES0105 is a sealant that will provide exceptional breakaway torque values in as little as one hour.
Long Shelf Life: Expand-A-Seal ES0105 will remain inactive on the part until engagement with a corresponding component.
Unaffected By Foreign Substances: Oil, gasoline, saltspray, acids, solvents, water, and air have no effect on Expand-A-Seal ES0105 when introduced after a final cure has been achieved. The cross-linked molecular structure of Expand-A-Seal ES0105 makes it one of the most resistant types of fastener adhesive available.
Saves Money: Expand-A-Seal ES0105 is less expensive than applying liquid user-applied pipe sealants at the point of assembly.
Storage: Product should be stored in a cool and dry location at temperatures between -10°C to 30°C. Optimal storage is 22±4°C. Shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture when stored at 22±4°C.
