ThreeBond 1215
RTV-Silicone Liquid Gasket
January 2006
Product Description:
The product Three Bond 1215 is a single-component, solvent free and non-acid liquid gasket
on RTV-Silicone basis (Room Temperature Vulcanising) with low odour. Within a very short
time it forms a rubber-like highly elastic gasket completely adapted to the surface structure of
the flange face. Three Bond 1215 has been designed specifically as an automotive flange
sealant with extremely high chemical resistance, for use on gear cases, oil pans and valve
covers.
Product Benefits:
• Excellent chemical resistance against gear oil
• Outstanding mechanical resistance against shear forces
• Excellent adhesion even to slightly polluted surfaces
• Extremely fast curing
• Instantaneous sealing for pressure and firing test
• Acceleration of the curing process by heat and contact with the medium
• No shrinkage and no generation of corrosive gasses
• Excellent dispensing and application
• Normal disassembly

Handling
• Keep the liquid gasket in the original container tightly closed and store in a dark, dry,
sufficiently ventilated and cool place at 5~25°C.
• The formation of skin and the hardenability of silicone varies depending upon the
thickness of the layer, the ambient temperature and the relative air humidity.
• In order to obtain optimal results remove grease, dirt and other impurities from the
fitting surfaces.
• According to the nature of the joints (width, surface roughness, unevenness etc.)
apply an appropriate quantity of Three Bond 1215 uniformly on one of the fitting
surfaces and assemble the parts within 5 minutes.
• Silicone once transferred into another container should not be returned to the original
container. Excess sealant can be easily wiped off with a cloth.
Storage
Ensure that the original container is tightly closed, and store in a dark, dry, sufficiently
ventilated, cool area at 5~25°C.
