Ultra
Permatex’s Ultra Red offers high temperature resistant available today. Ultra Red is a high-performance low-order formulation, outperforming the previous gen. Red RTV. Ultra Red resists temperatures up to 650°F (343°C). This high temperature gasket maker is resistant to high thermal cycling and is sensor-safe, non-corrosive RTV. This chemical gasket maker can be used in replacement of pre-cut gaskets and is ideal for high-temperature applications such as the exhaust manifold, header, turbochargers and slip-fit exhaust parts.
- High temperature performance
- Resists temperatures up to 650°F (343°C) intermittent
- Replaces almost any cut gasket
- Sensor-safe, non-corrosive, RTV silicone
- OEM specified
Optimum
Permatex’s Optimum Red offers the maximum temperature resistant available today. Optimum Red ranges up to 750°F (399°C); higher than Ultra Copper and Regular RTV Red. This Maximum Temperature gasket maker is resistant to high thermal cycling and is sensor-safe, non-corrosive RTV. This chemical gasket maker can be used in replacement of pre-cut gaskets and is ideal for high-temperature applications such as the exhaust manifold, header, turbochargers and slip-fit exhaust parts.
