Automotive aftermarket specialist Permatex says its range of elastomeric, formed-in-place gasket products allow mechanics to achieve a rapid, leak-free gasket that is two-and-a-half times more flexible than a regular cut gasket, while also being more reliable and durable.
Permatex’s Right Stuff Black is said to achieve a full gasket seal in just 60 seconds, the company also claiming the product is “blowout resistant and protects against leaks and seepage caused by vibration and thermal expansion.”

According to Sarah McNeill, Brand Manager for Permatex Australia, the product is suitable for use by both DIYers and professional technicians.
“Our Right Stuff Black leads the world in instant gasket maker technology,” she said.
“It’s designed as a replacement for conventional gaskets and is perfect for oil pans, timing covers, transmission pans and differential covers.”

Permatex also offers a range of quality thread lubricants to prevent seizing, corrosion and galling in high-temperature conditions.
“The range includes both copper and nickel formulations that provide solutions for a wide variety of applications,” McNeill said.
The copper thread lubricant is designed to work in temperatures ranging between 34 degrees C to 982 degrees C. It is suitable for spark plug threads installed in aluminium, exhaust manifold bolts, engine bolts, oxygen sensors, knock sensors, thermostat housing bolts, fuel filter fittings, and battery cable connections.

Meanwhile, for applications where copper contamination must be avoided, the nickel anti-seize lubricant is suitable for temperatures up to 1316 degrees C, making it ideal for exhaust manifold bolts, exhaust system bolts, muffler clamps and tailpipe assemblies.
These Permatex products are available in different sizes, while the gasket maker is also available in black or grey.
Permatex also offers a wide range of other automotive workshop products, including sealants, hand cleaners, threadlockers, adhesives, cleaners and repair kits.
