1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® SI 5900® is a one-component, oxime silicone-based, room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant. It appears as a black thixotropic paste and offers excellent resistance to automotive engine oils. The product is designed for sealing applications requiring high oil resistance and joint movement tolerance. It adheres well to plastics, glass, ceramics, and metals. Registered under NSF Category P1 for non-food contact use in food processing environments.

2. Applications

  • Sealing stamped sheet metal covers such as timing covers and oil sumps.
  • Suitable for applications requiring high oil resistance and flexibility.
  • Withstands low-pressure tests before curing begins.
  • Reduces liquid migration post-application due to its thixotropic nature.
