Product Description

Flexible Flange Sealant | Sold as a Case of 24 Bottles

SONLOK 3515 is a flexible, medium-strength anaerobic gasket sealant engineered for form-in-place gasketing of close-fitting metal flanges. Curing in the absence of air between metal surfaces, SONLOK 3515 develops strength quickly while remaining flexible—allowing it to accommodate minor flange movement and provide immediate low-pressure resistance after assembly.
Packaging: 50ml bottles, sold by the case of 24.

Manufactured by Parson Adhesives, SONLOK 3515 features a thixotropic, non-slump formulation that resists migration after application, ensuring clean assemblies and reliable sealing across pumps, housings, and covers where flexibility and vibration tolerance are important.


Key Features & Benefits

• Flexible anaerobic gasket sealant for metal flanges
• Medium strength with fast handling cure
• Accommodates minor flange movement and vibration
• Immediate low-pressure resistance after assembly
• Thixotropic (non-slump) formulation prevents run-off
• Excellent chemical resistance for industrial environments


Typical Applications

• Form-in-place gasketing for pumps, thermostats, compressors
• Transmission housings and axle covers
• Rigid metal flange sealing requiring flexibility
• Industrial machinery and mechanical housings
