DEACON 8875-THIN High Temperature Thermal Reactive Sealant
DEACON 8875-THIN is a thermal reactive sealing compound that is used in high temperature and high pressure applications. In the presence of heat, DEACON 8875-THIN will form a mechanical (“mechanical type”) seal. DEACON 8875-THIN will not cement the flanges or threads together, thus, it will not interfere with future repairs of metal-to-metal joints. DEACON 8875-THIN is unaffected by thermal cycling.
NOTE: Sealant material must be confined within a joint, as opposed the being applied topically.
Temperature Range: 150°F (65°C) to 1,800°F (982°C).
DEACON 8875-THIN Sealant Recommended Applications
DEACON 8875-THIN can be used as gasket dressing to improve the sealing capability of many gaskets. DEACON 8875-THIN can also be applied to many types of gaskets (including spiral wound) to reseal them, thereby prolonging their useful life. DEACON 8875-THIN can be used as the only sealant on low-tolerance metal-to-metal joints.
DEACON 8875-THIN is caulked or troweled onto the sealing surface in a complete, uniform, thin coating. Note: DEACON 8875-THIN will flow filling small voids, and surface irregularities creating a seal between the gasket and the flange surface where most leak problems initiate.
NOTE: Sealant material must be confined within a joint, as opposed the being applied topically.

DEACON 8875-THIN Instructions
- Surface should be clean and dry (free from oil or foreign material to ensure proper sealing/adhesion)
- Apply a thin coat to sealing surface with a stiff brush or putty knife (if sealing threads, apply only to the male threads)
- Close and tighten joint (torqued to the equipment manufacturer’s specifications if sealing a bolted flange)
- Product will cure in service with heat (See Note)
Note: In high pressure applications or when pressure testing at ambient, it is recommended to pre-cure with a heat gun, oven, or to dry fire / blow down at atmospheric (running heat without pressure). Unlike silicone or epoxy products, our thermosetting sealants require heat to cure.
Curing DEACON 8875-THIN
The following is a general guideline for the time required for a full cure at various temperatures. A seal will be achieved before a full cure is reached.
- 300°F --- 6 hrs
- 400°F --- 4 hrs
- 500°F --- 3 hrs
- 600°F --- 1 hr
- 700°F + --- <1 hr
