CORE White is a linseed oil-based Jointing Compound. It is of smooth consistency, does not contain lead and allows easy dismantling of joints when required. CORE White is suitable for flanged, or screw threaded joints and is employed mainly in the plumbing and gas-fitting industries. It may be used on pipework servicing natural gas, town gas, water, steam, brine, alcohol, and compressed air.
The product is an anaerobic pipe sealant which cures when oxygen is no longer present. This occurs when the air between your two metal fittings disperses which then allows the blue liquid to cure in a matter of minutes (please see curing times). This process then forms a strong fitment which will prevent any loosening and leaks from vibrations caused to the fitment. CORE PIPE SEALANT is most often used on Brass and Steel but is also effective on Stainless Steel, Aluminium and BZP Steel products
The pipe sealing cord is 160m long and is suitable for sealing metal and plastic threaded pipes and fittings for applications up to 149°C. Instant seals require no cure time, resulting in an immediate, full-pressure seal, making it an ideal choice for a quick, easy and reliable seal.
