Application areas : Manufacture of steam and gas turbines, power stations, gasworks and waterworks operations, oil refineries, smelting works, shipyards, paint and rubber manufacturing, chemical industry.
Working recommendations : Birkosit is spread on the dry surfaces using a putty knife or rubber spatula. The product can be subjected immediately to working loads. The hardening time of several hours allows butt joints to be properly bedded. A small amount of linseed oil varnish may be added to improve the spreading properties.

®
Packaging : BIRKOSIT is packed and supplied in special 1-kg tins. Its colour is reddishbrown.
BIRKOSIT is a single-component, paste luting agent / sealing compound for industrial use wherever conditions of temperature and pressure at smooth, plane sealing surfaces (butt joints) make extreme demands on the quality of the sealing compound.
Hazards Identification : When working in compliance with the usual regulations for industrial hygiene, the handling of the product does not involve any special risk.
The Product If the usual regulations for waste disposal are observed this product does not present any significant danger for the environment.
The product is used for sealing applications where the highest temperature and/or pressure resistance is required. Temperature resistance : will withstand hot steam and air, hot and cold water, light fuel oils and lubricants, crude oil and natural gas at up to 650 °C. Pressure resistance : The excellent adhesion on sealing surfaces and butt joints guarantees a perfect seal up to 135 bar. The pressure resistance for flanges without sealing rings is up to 450 bar; and even up to 550 bar for screw joints. Plastic deformation : is unlimited in its plastic workability so that, even under the most demanding conditions, the sealing film does not break. cf. temperature and pressure resistance.
