Permatex® Aviation Form-A-Gasket® No. 3 Sealant Liquid | 473mL | 80017 | Business Delivery Available

Slow-Drying Non-Hardening Gasket Sealant for Automotive, Aviation, Marine and Industrial Applications

Supply Solutions Group supplies Permatex® Aviation Form-A-Gasket® No. 3 Sealant Liquid – 473mL (Product Code 80017) to organisations operating across automotive, aviation maintenance, marine, engineering, manufacturing, transport, fleet maintenance and industrial workplaces throughout Australia.

The Permatex® Aviation Form-A-Gasket® No. 3 Sealant Liquid is a professional slow-drying, non-hardening gasket sealant designed for sealing close-fitting machined surfaces, solid gaskets and threaded connections.

Formulated to dry through solvent evaporation into a pliable, tacky film, the sealant remains flexible rather than becoming hard and brittle. This makes it particularly useful for gasket dressing and sealing applications where movement, vibration and service conditions can place ongoing demands on the joint.

Permatex 80017 is resistant to gasoline, motor oil and grease, supporting its use across automotive engines, aviation engines, marine equipment and general industrial machinery where exposure to common operating fluids may occur.

The product provides a broad operating temperature range of approximately -54°C to 204°C (-65°F to 400°F), making it suitable for a variety of engine, mechanical and industrial sealing applications within the manufacturer's specified limitations.

Permatex also specifies that Aviation Form-A-Gasket No. 3 can be used on close-tolerance flanges and threaded connections and can withstand pressures up to 5,000 psi in suitable applications.

The liquid format is supplied in a 473mL / 16 oz brush-top container, allowing the sealant to be applied as a thin, even coat directly to mating surfaces. Permatex recommends allowing the applied material to air dry for several minutes before assembling the components.

Typical uses include gasket dressing, machined mating surfaces, hose sealing, threaded connections and sealing work on automotive, aviation and marine engines.

This listing is supplied as 1 × 473mL Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket No. 3 Sealant Liquid, Product Code 80017.

As an Indigenous-owned industrial supplier and procurement partner, Supply Solutions Group provides genuine Permatex adhesives, sealants, gasket products and maintenance consumables backed by responsive customer service, procurement support and Australia-wide business supply capability.

Why Choose Permatex® Aviation Form-A-Gasket® No. 3 Sealant?

Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket No. 3 is designed for applications where a flexible, non-hardening seal is preferred over a rigid gasket compound.

Its slow-drying formulation develops into a pliable, tacky film through solvent evaporation, helping maintain sealing performance across close-fitting surfaces and gasketed joints.

Resistance to common workshop and engine fluids including gasoline, oil and grease makes the product particularly useful for automotive, aviation, marine and industrial maintenance applications.

The broad -54°C to 204°C temperature range also allows the product to be used across a wide variety of mechanical environments, subject to the specific operating conditions and Permatex recommendations.

Its liquid brush-on format makes it straightforward to apply an even film to machined surfaces, gasket faces and threaded connections, while the 473mL container provides a practical quantity for workshops and maintenance operations carrying out regular sealing work.
