Hylomar Universal Blue – Non-Setting Gasket & Jointing Compound

Overview of Hylomar Universal Blue

Hylomar Universal Blue is a high-performance, non-setting gasket and jointing compound developed for sealing suitable mechanical joints and threaded components. Unlike conventional gasket compounds that harden after application, Hylomar Universal Blue remains non-setting and non-hardening, making it useful for assemblies that may need future inspection, maintenance or dismantling.

The compound is designed to resist a wide range of industrial fluids, including oils, fuels, water-based mixtures and other compatible media. It is used in applications involving machined joint faces, engine components, pumps, gearboxes and industrial equipment.

Available through Technosteer Online, Hylomar Universal Blue is suitable for businesses, workshops, maintenance teams and industrial buyers looking for a specialised gasket and jointing compound.

Key Features of Hylomar Universal Blue

• Non-setting formulation: Remains non-hardening, supporting easier dismantling of compatible assemblies.
• Wide temperature range: The manufacturer publishes an operating range of −50°C to +250°C.
• Fluid resistance: Designed to resist a range of industrial fluids, oils, fuels, coolants and other compatible media.
• Extended assembly time: Allows components to be aligned carefully before final assembly.
• Vibration resistance: Suitable for specified jointing applications where vibration is a consideration.
• Thread sealing capability: Can be used as a non-curing thread sealant in compatible applications.
• Metal-to-metal contact: The product is designed to allow metal surfaces to make contact when assembled correctly.
• Service-friendly design: Its non-setting characteristics can help facilitate component removal during maintenance.

Performance depends on the joint design, surface condition, application method, fluid exposure and operating conditions. Consult the current manufacturer’s technical documentation before selecting the compound for critical equipment.

Applications of Hylomar Universal Blue

Hylomar Universal Blue is used in a variety of mechanical and industrial sealing applications, including:

Engine and Machinery Components

The compound can be used on suitable machined joint faces, timing case covers, cylinder heads and flat rigid sumps where the application is compatible with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Gearboxes and Transmission Assemblies

Hylomar Universal Blue is suitable for specified gearbox and transmission jointing applications. Its non-setting properties can be beneficial when equipment requires periodic maintenance or disassembly.

Pumps and Fluid Systems

Typical applications include water pumps, oil pumps and compatible fluid-handling assemblies. Confirm chemical compatibility with the actual fluid, seals and materials in the system.

Threaded Connections

The compound can be used as a non-curing thread sealant for compatible threaded parts. Verify suitability for the thread type, pressure, temperature and fluid involved before use.

Industrial and Power Equipment

Other listed applications include inlet manifolds, instrument inspection covers, gas turbines, water-cooled generators and turbo-vacuum systems. These applications require appropriate engineering assessment and compliance with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

Temperature and Chemical Resistance

The published operating temperature range for Hylomar Universal Blue is −50°C to +250°C. This range is a product specification, not a guarantee that every joint will perform at both temperature extremes under every pressure or chemical exposure.

The manufacturer identifies resistance to industrial fluids, petroleum and synthetic lubricating oils, gasoline, kerosene, water/glycol mixtures, methanol/water mixtures, air and certain engine combustion products. The product is also described as resistant to water and brine.

Always verify the exact chemical, concentration, pressure and service conditions against the latest technical data sheet. Do not assume that resistance to one fluid guarantees compatibility with every chemical or operating environment.

How to Apply Hylomar Universal Blue

1. Prepare the surfaces: Clean and dry the joint faces or threaded components. Remove oil, grease, dirt and other contaminants that could interfere with sealing.
2. Apply a thin film or bead: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for applying the compound to one or both surfaces, depending on the joint.
3. Allow solvent evaporation: Allow sufficient time for the solvent to evaporate as directed by the product documentation.
4. Assemble the components: Align the joint carefully. The non-setting nature of the compound provides extended assembly time for positioning.
5. Tighten correctly: Follow the equipment manufacturer’s specified tightening sequence and torque values. The product documentation notes that fasteners may need to be retightened to the correct torque.
6. Inspect the finished joint: Check the assembly according to the equipment’s maintenance and commissioning procedure.

Do not substitute the compound for a required gasket, O-ring or other specified sealing component unless the equipment manufacturer permits this application.

Available Grades and Pack Sizes

Hylomar Universal Blue is documented in light, medium and heavy viscosity grades. The manufacturer’s product sheet lists pack formats including 40 g tubes, a 100 g tube and a 350 g cartridge.

The viscosity grade and package supplied may vary by listing. Check the actual product variant and available stock on Technosteer Online before ordering.
