Fasto A767 – High Lubricity Pipe Thread Sealant for Large Diameter Pipes

Fasto A767 is a single-component, medium-to-low strength, PTFE-based anaerobic pipe sealant developed for locking and sealing straight and tapered metal pipe threads. It cures in the absence of air when confined between close-fitting metal surfaces, forming a flexible, vibration-resistant, and leak-proof seal.

Its extremely high viscosity white paste formulation provides excellent lubricity, allowing easy assembly and disassembly of large-diameter pipe joints while still preventing vibration loosening and leakage.

Fasto A767 delivers an almost instant low-pressure seal and, once fully cured, seals up to the bursting pressure of the pipe (≈10,000 psi).

Surface Preparation

  • Ensure parts are clean, dry, and free from grease or oil.
  • Trials are recommended to confirm if additional cleaning is required.

Application Method

  1. Apply Fasto A767 to all engaged threads.
    To minimise excess sealant inside the joint, apply mainly to the male threads, leaving the first two threads clear.
  2. Assemble parts and tighten as required.
  3. Allow curing under anaerobic (air-excluded) conditions.
  4. Wipe off excess sealant from the outside of the joint.

Curing Guidelines

  • Fixture time: 20–25 minutes
  • Functional cure: 4–6 hours
  • Full cure: 12–14 hours
  • Maximum recommended gap: 0.50 mm
  • Maximum thread size: 36 mm

Additional Notes

  • Cure speed depends on temperature, bond gap, and substrate.
  • At temperatures below 5°C, use Fasto AP49 Activator to accelerate curing (may reduce final strength by up to 30%).
  • Not recommended for pure oxygen or chlorine systems.
  • Not suitable for certain plastics due to potential stress cracking.
