Permatex® Prussian Blue | 22mL Tube | Precision Fitting Compound | 80038 | Business Delivery Available

Non-Drying Blue Marking Compound for Precision Fitting, Machined Surfaces and High-Spot Detection

Supply Solutions Group supplies Permatex® Prussian Blue – 22mL Tube (Product Code 80038) to organisations operating across automotive, engineering, machining, manufacturing, maintenance, mechanical repair and industrial workplaces throughout Australia.

The Permatex® Prussian Blue is a professional precision-fitting compound designed to help identify high spots, interference points and improper contact areas on close-tolerance machined components.

Formulated as a non-drying blue oily paste, Prussian Blue is applied as a thin, uniform film to mating surfaces before the components are assembled or moved through their normal working position. Areas of improper contact become clearly visible as bright blue streaks, allowing technicians and machinists to identify where additional fitting, machining or seating correction may be required.

This makes Permatex Prussian Blue particularly useful for precision work involving bearings, valves, gears and other close-tolerance or machined assemblies where accurate surface contact is essential.

Unlike hard-setting compounds, Permatex Prussian Blue remains non-drying, allowing the marking film to remain workable during inspection and fitting operations. Once the contact pattern has been assessed and adjustments completed, the compound can be wiped away, with residual greasy film removable using a suitable common solvent.

The product provides a simple visual method for checking mating surfaces during rebuilding, machining, assembly and maintenance procedures, helping technicians trace interference points without relying solely on visual inspection of uncoated components.

Supplied in a 0.75 fl oz tube, approximately 22mL, the compact format is practical for toolboxes, workshops, machine shops and maintenance departments performing precision fitting work.

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

Why Choose Permatex® Prussian Blue?

Permatex Prussian Blue provides a simple and effective way to visually identify high spots and contact irregularities on precision components.

When a thin film is applied to mating parts and the assembly is moved through its normal working position, areas of improper fitting become visible as distinct blue markings. This gives technicians a clear indication of where additional machining, adjustment or seating correction may be required.

Its non-drying formulation makes it particularly useful for precision fitting work because the compound remains workable throughout the inspection process rather than curing or hardening on the component.

For machinists, mechanical rebuilders, automotive technicians and maintenance teams, this provides a practical method for evaluating bearings, valves, gears and other close-tolerance assemblies before final assembly.

The compact 22mL tube also makes the product convenient to keep in toolboxes, machining areas and workshop maintenance stores for use whenever precision contact checking is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Permatex Prussian Blue used for?
Permatex Prussian Blue is used to identify high spots, interference points and improper contact areas on precision-machined components during fitting and assembly.

What size tube is supplied?
This listing is for a 0.75 fl oz tube, approximately 22mL, of Permatex Prussian Blue.

What is the Permatex product code?
The product code is 80038.

Does Permatex Prussian Blue dry or harden?
No. Permatex describes it as a non-drying compound, allowing it to remain workable during precision-fitting operations.

How does Prussian Blue show high spots?
Apply a uniform film to the mating surface, assemble or move the components through their working position, and inspect the contact pattern. Improper fitting areas appear as clearly visible bright blue streaks.

What components can it be used on?
Permatex specifically identifies bearings, valves, gears and other close-tolerance or machined assemblies as typical applications.

Is Permatex Prussian Blue a lubricant?
Its purpose is primarily as a precision fitting and marking compound, rather than as a general-purpose operational lubricant.

How do you clean Prussian Blue from components?
Permatex recommends wiping the product clean after inspection. If a greasy film remains, it can be removed with a suitable common solvent.

What colour and consistency is the product?
The technical data identifies it as a blue oily paste.
