What Matters in Diesel Generator Adhesive & Sealant Selection?
Fluid & Chemical Exposure
Generator assemblies may encounter oils, fuels, coolants, hydraulic fluids and cleaning chemicals. Product compatibility should be verified for the actual medium.
Vibration & Shock
Engine-driven equipment can experience continuous vibration and mechanical shock, making joint integrity and sealing performance important.
Pressure & Leakage
Pipe and fluid connections require a sealant grade matched to the system pressure, joint geometry, thread size and operating medium.
Temperature Cycling
Thermal changes during starting, loading and shutdown can affect joint movement and cure performance, so the product operating range must be considered.

Applying Adhesives & Sealants in Diesel Generator Manufacturing
The exact process depends on the selected product, joint geometry and generator component.
Surface Preparation
Clean the relevant threads or flange surfaces and remove oil, grease and contaminants according to the selected product requirements.
Controlled Dispensing
Apply the recommended bead or quantity of A750, A475 or A418 to the engaged sealing area.
Assembly
Assemble the pipe, flange or housing joint within the specified working window and tighten according to the equipment specification.
Cure & Validation
Allow the material to cure under the required conditions and validate leakage, pressure and joint performance before full operation.
