NEW to the Consumable range

Jointing Compounds and Sealants

We would like to introduce two new major product lines to our consumables range:

 

CORE Pipe Sealant

CORE Pipe Sealant is an advanced anaerobic sealant ideal for assembling threaded fasteners. It also allows for easy disassembly using standard hand tools.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Instant Sealing: This anaerobic sealant cures rapidly when deprived of oxygen, which occurs once the air between metal fittings disperses. Within minutes, the blue liquid cures to form a robust and secure bond.
  • Prevents Loosening: Once cured, the sealant provides a firm grip that resists loosening from vibrations, ensuring long-lasting connections.
  • Versatile Material Compatibility: CORE Pipe Sealant is most effective on Brass and Steel but performs exceptionally well on Stainless Steel, Aluminium, and BZP Steel.

This sealant is ideal for threaded metal fittings across industrial, commercial, and residential applications where durable, leak-free seals are critical.

 

CORE White Jointing Compound

CORE White is a linseed oil-based Jointing Compound that provides robust, watertight seals on threaded joints. This versatile compound allows for smooth assembly and easy disassembly when maintenance or replacements are needed.

 Key Features and Applications:

  • Effective and Easy to Use: With its linseed oil base, CORE White is simple to apply and ensures smooth, even coverage, creating an effective seal without additional effort.
  • Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for systems carrying natural gas, town gas, water, steam, brine, alcohol, and compressed air.
  • Meets British Standards: The product complies with British Standard 6956: Part 5: 1992, ensuring quality and safety standards adherence.
