Under Head Sealants
What Are Under Head Sealants?
A fastener is only as reliable as the seal it creates. To provide an effective seal, manufacturers have relied on traditional sealing solutions like O-rings, washers, and liquid sealants. However, solutions like these can be easily compromised by nicks and cuts, introducing additional steps, labor, and opportunity for inconsistencies.
Under head sealants, on the other hand, are pre-applied coatings beneath a fastener head that create a much stronger seal. They are exceptionally durable, have a simplified assembly process, and improved consistency.
