Leaks in threaded connections are a frequent problem in hydraulic, pneumatic and industrial installations. Everything may seem properly assembled, but over time leaks, constant retightening and pressure drops begin to appear.
In many cases, the issue is not the thread itself, but the sealing method being used.
The problem: seals that don’t hold
Incorrect use of PTFE tape or traditional methods can create micro-gaps between threads. If the surface is not perfectly clean or the application is not uniform, the seal loses effectiveness.
This results in:
-
Recurring leaks
-
Pressure loss
-
Continuous retightening
-
Increased wear on connections
Additionally, in industrial environments constant vibrations can weaken the seal over time.
The solution: Magmont S220 Sealant
Magmont S220 Sealant is specifically designed for professional sealing of metal threaded connections. Its anaerobic technology allows the product to cure in the absence of oxygen when confined between tightly fitted metal surfaces.
In practice, this means it fills the micro-gaps within the thread and creates a uniform, durable barrier against leaks, pressure and vibration.
Compared to traditional solutions, S220 offers:
-
More uniform sealing
-
Greater mechanical resistance
-
Reduced need for retightening
-
Clean and precise application
How to prevent leaks permanently
For best results, clean the threads thoroughly, apply an even amount of product and respect the curing time before pressurizing the system.
When using a technical sealant like Magmont S220 Sealant, leaks stop being a recurring issue and your system gains reliability and long-term safety.
