ABRO sealant
ABRO Multi-Purpose Sealant is designed to repair or replace most types of gaskets found on vehicles. It is made on the basis of silicone and polymers, has high elasticity and strength, is able to take absolutely any shape, and hardens instantly. ABRO silicone sealant successfully withstands tension, compression and shear and is not destroyed at all under the influence of water, automobile oils and antifreeze. It also has high resistance to brake fluid and gasoline.
Precautionary measures
To carry out all work without risk to health, you must follow the manufacturer’s advice. Due to the release of acid vapors by some varieties of Abro, you only need to work with a mask, glasses, and wear gloves on your hands to avoid burns and allergies.
If the product gets on the skin, it should be immediately washed with soap and water, and if it gets into the eyes and mucous membranes, immediately consult a doctor after washing. It is important to ventilate the room well during and after work. Tubes with sealants should be stored out of the reach of children, in a cool, dark place.
Any sealing agent from the Abro line allows you to quickly and with minimal labor costs eliminate cracks, leaks, seal holes and form gaskets. The repair of the machine will be successful, and the finished joint will serve for many years without deforming or collapsing from the influence of unfavorable factors.

- The sealant is applied to the entire mating surface around the perimeter, forming a layer whose thickness is about 2-3 mm.
- Allow to dry for 10 minutes before assembly. The formed gasket will dry completely after 24 hours.
Gasket sealant (red) 85 g 11-AB high temperature reviews
Hello, in this review I will tell you about ABRO brand sealant. This sealant is red, oil and petrol resistant with increased heat resistance up to 340 degrees C. I became familiar with this sealant a long time ago, because at work they buy this sealant and use it to fit trolleybus final drives in order to get rid of oil leakage from them. We also use it as a gasket for central gearboxes, for sealing threaded connections in the pneumatic line of a trolleybus. ABRO gasket sealant heat-resistant red photo About the quality of this sealant I will say the following, there are a lot of fake ABRO sealants. A distinctive feature of the original sealant is the embossed inscription ABHO on the aluminum tube in which this sealant is actually supplied, on the side of the lid! The properties of the original sealant are not even bad, but subject to proper installation and time-consuming. Be sure to thoroughly degrease the surface during installation; this is a guarantee that the sealant will adhere firmly to the surface. Well, the rest, in your opinion, if you need to use it as a gasket, then you shouldn’t assemble the assembly right away, you need to let the sealant polymerize (dry) so that a film forms on it so that when assembling the assembly, sealing occurs due to clamping force and in case of repeated If the assembly were disassembled, the sealant would be glued only to one side, and to the other it would only be pressed tightly, taking on the shape and imperfections of the mating plane. In this case, when disassembled, the sealant will remain completely like a gasket without tearing. You can also use it as an adhesive and sealant so that it sticks to both surfaces, but in this case, you should not immediately press the part tightly against each other. complete drying is achieved after 24 hours according to the instructions. We wait about 5 hours and after that we start pouring oil into the gearbox. The effect is there are no oil stains, but if you apply the sealant to a dirty surface or do not maintain the time interval, then there is no point in using it. There is also a fake ABRO, and we also came across it, I will say the following about it, it is an ordinary silicone sealant with low mechanical compressive strength, it is not heat-resistant and really does not like contact with oil. But I will talk about the original, I will say that there are many more worthy analogues than ABRO, and even cheaper in price, so I do not consider it so profitable and of high quality, yes, it fulfills the sealing requirements under the above conditions, but still I would not I started using it on my car if I have the opportunity to choose something else. This sealant has a very strong smell of acetic acid. https://otzovik.com/review_2101526.html
