Designed for mechanical assemblies such as water pumps, thermostat housings, transmission pans and transaxle cases, the anaerobic chemistry cures only in the absence of air between metal surfaces to create a durable seal that resists tearing and solvent attack. It dispenses smoothly from a small tube, fills gaps up to 0.015 inches, and allows for later disassembly without damaging components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this gasket maker perform on metal flanges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Permatex anaerobic formula bonds to common automotive metals and cures into a flexible, solvent-resistant gasket. It’s engineered to remain non-corrosive so mating surfaces aren’t weakened over time, and it resists tearing during normal service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForms reliable seals on aluminum, iron and steel flanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFills up to 0.015\" gap for imperfect surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCures to a solvent-resistant, pliable gasket that withstands service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it for emergency repairs or when a gasket is missing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the small tube is intended for immediate repairs and field fixes where a traditional gasket is not available.

It’s geared toward situations where machining or custom-cut gaskets aren’t practical, and for repairs that demand a solvent-resistant, non-corrosive seal that still allows later disassembly. Choose this product when you want a small, ready-to-use tube for emergency sealing, routine maintenance, or replacing worn gaskets on aluminum, iron, or steel components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What gap size can Permatex 51813 fill?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It fills gaps up to 0.015 inches and cures to a solvent-resistant seal suitable for metal flanges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is the cured gasket removable for later service?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — parts disassemble after extended use and old material scrapes away easily with a putty knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Permatex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48086864822430,"sku":"B0002UEONM","price":30.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/permatex-51813-front-tube.jpg?v=1785908560","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/permatex-51813-anaerobic-gasket-maker-50-ml-tube-red","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
