Durlon® HT1000® Paste

Durlon® HT1000® Paste is a sealing compound designed to be used in conjunction with our HT1000® sheet material specifically for large dovetail gaskets. The paste allows end users to create larger diameter gaskets using cost effective dovetail gasket segments. The HT1000® Paste allows end users to eliminate possible leak paths of traditional dovetail gaskets, while providing end users the one piece gasket construction and lower leakage rates similar to one-piece gasket.
