We would also like to share with you a little about each of our sealants here on our site: Catalysts Catalysts are used with select IGS sealants to substantially speed up cure times. Duct-Tite Duct-Tite is a fibrous paste sealant used for sealing industrial ducting where high temperature and pressure resistance are needed. Hylomar® A polyurethane-based gasketjointing compound that contains polyesters and silica. Unlike RTV silicones, Hylomar doesn’t harden. It transforms into a flexible putty when the solvent evaporates. IGS-1000 IGS-1000 is a moist, hand-applied pack used as a heat shield and heat sink for protecting sensitive parts while welding, soldering, or brazing. KelSeal KelSeal is an alumina-carbon, resin-bonded joint sealant used between slide late plates, nozzles, and SEN’s around the ladle and tundish areas. Ladle-Lip Seal Ladle-Lip Seal is a protective covering for ladle lips during slag raking or used as a gasket for degasser lids. Mill-Pac Gray Mill-Pac is a heavy paste sealant for use in primary metal, foundry and smelter industries, as well as for sealing boiler and oven doors and burners. Mill-Pac Black Mill-Pac Black is an environmentally friendly, mechanically-bound sealant for use in the home heating appliance industry. Mill-Pac Black is used to seal direct vents, flues, fireboxes, and other applications. MP-3000 Is a mastic refractory material that has several uses in the continuous molten metal casting industry, including dummy bar packing, dummy bar repair, SEN anti-splash guards, and many more. Real Seal Real Seal is a universal gasket made from 100% expanded PTFE. It is a radically different form of PTFE fluorocarbon material. Although very strong and tough, it is soft and “marshmallowy” in character, permitting it to conform easily to irregular surfaces and to compress to a thin, wide ribbon under pressure. RTV Silicone RTV Silicone Sealant- Industrial Grade is a one-part acetoxy cure adhesive sealant that is suitable for general industrial sealing and adhesive applications. Silver Seal II Silver Seal II is a silver-gray paste sealant that is exceptionally durable under conditions of high temperature and pressure. Steel Seal Steel seal is a dense, highly-filled paste sealant with steel fibers; it cures to a very strong solid creating a “damming” action that plugs leaks. Stovemate Mortar Stovemate Mortar is a ready-to-use, high-temperature soft mortar patching compound. Temp-Tite II Temp-Tite II is a plastic, high-solid sealant extruded into rope or gasket form and applied to a joint face, making it possible to seal complex joint designs without a premade gasket. Turbo “50” Turbo is a heat reactive resin used as a sealant or joint dressing on machined, grooved, or threaded joints. Turbo “50” is thinned for brushing. Turbo “R” Turbo is a heat reactive resin used as a sealant or joint dressing on machined, grooved or threaded joints. Turbo “R” is 100% solids resin.

Gaskets at IGS Industries At IGS Industries, our gasket production has been a staple of our business for decades. It’s what our business was founded upon. We offer custom part marking and kitting per your specifications, and our parts can be stamped or water jet cut for incredible precision. We can produce gasket quantities from one to over one million from a multitude of materials in thicknesses from .0005” and up. We offer in-house laminating of materials and we can coat gasket materials with special application coatings (such as dryback adhesives, tacky adhesives w release paper, varnishes, edge-bonding, glyptol, and more). Why Gaskets? Simply put, gaskets create a tight seal between two parts. This seal prevents leakage of liquids or gas. Application of gaskets can get more complicated, which is where IGS Industries’ experience strongly comes into play. Gaskets need to match both of the parts to which it provides a seal, not just in shape and size, but in chemical properties, resistances, and pressures, too. Gaskets can be made from a wide-selection of materials. Custom Gaskets at IGS Industries Custom gaskets are one of our most popular services here at IGS industries. We work with many customers who have specific needs and requirements for custom-designed gaskets. We’ve expanded our capabilities to create your gaskets based on files you upload, actual parts you send to us, cardboard cut-outs, and more. We house our own large and varied stock of metallic and non-metallic inventory, and we have many rare and exotic material suppliers on hand to provide uncommon materials for your projects. Through our decades of gasket production here at IGS Industries, we have accomplished some of the most challenging gasket-creation tasks with ease. We work with many industries, including (but not at all limited to) aerospace, steel, energy, automotive, mining, appliance, mills, and aviation. Why IGS Industries?

KelSeal at IGS Industries KelSeal is an alumina-carbon, resin-bonded, joint sealant used between slide gate plates, nozzles, and SEN’s around the ladle and tundish areas. It has excellent resistance to erosion by molten steel and very low permeability at steel making temperatures to prevent steel leakage and air aspiration through refractory joints. KelSeal is the original formulation for longer service time around the tundish area while KelSeal XG is formulated for shorter runs on ladles and ease of separationclean up. Typical Applications: Steelmaking Industries Advantages: KelSeal contains graphite, which allows easy separation of refractory joints KelSeal resists air aspiration and steel penetration within the joint being sealed Will flow to rough or irregular voids within the refractory to provide a good seal Does not shrink or crack under heat load KelSeal is not classified as a hazardous material and is able to be shipped worldwide by any means KelSeal is available through our Just-In-Time shipping program.

Duct-Tite at IGS Industries Duct-Tite is a fibrous paste sealant used for sealing industrial ducting where high temperature and pressure resistance is needed. Applications include paint ovens, drying and curing ovens, flue stacks, heat exchangers, or any other high temperature ducting which may or may not see pressure. During joint assembly, sealant will flow into rough or irregular surfaces to provide a durable seal. Duct-Tite expands under heat and cures to a leathery like consistency, and will not crack due to thermal cycling or vibration. Sealant will outlast silicone above 500°F and is inert to most industrial chemicals. Joint disassembly is easy as the sealant does not excessively harden which allows for quick separation. Duct-Tite is not classified as a hazardous material and is able to be shipped by any means worldwide. Typical Applications: Paint, drying, and curing ovens. Flue stacks. Heat exchangers. Other high-temperature ducting (both pressure and non-pressure applications). Advantages: Non-shrinking and non-cracking Remains pliable to withstand thermal cycling Outlasts silicones above 500°F Not affected by most industrial chemicals Duct-Tite is not classified as a hazardous material and is able to be shipped worldwide by any means. Duct-Tite is available through our Just-In-Time shipping program. Downloads: Duct-Tite TDSApplication Instruction Sheet Duct-Tite MSDS Sheet

Tab Shims at IGS Industries Our alignment tab shims, or “PRE-CUTS, ” are ideal for clients who need alignment shims with budget constrictions. And not only are our shim kits pre-cut to produce a product that is several times more affordable than hand-cut shims, but our durable corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel tab shims are reusable, too. Additionally, you can increase your available warehouse space by not needing to carry a large foil stock. Each shim is marked with its size, too, so there’s no guessing required on your end. Finally, the nature of our PRE-CUTS eliminates burrs, snip cuts, and square edges–meaning that our shims better fit your projects and are safer to handle, too. Why IGS PRE-CUTS? When your project requires reusable stainless steel shims on a smaller budget, alignment tab shims are perfect for the job. Tab shims are typically used in shaft alignment of rotating equipment in many applications and industries: steel mills, paper mills, chemical plants, refineries, power plants, turbines, fans, pumps, blowers, gear boxes, and much more. Special thicknesses of shims can be replaced if you use more of one thickness than others. This eliminates waste of unused shims as compared to buying a whole kit just for a few shims. Why IGS Industries? Our pre-cut alignment tab shims are a perfect example of our desire to provide you with great results that solve your workplace challenges. In addition to the many advantages (reusable, pre-cut, multiple sizes, stock-space saving, money saving), we go further in allowing you to customize your tab shim kit to specifically fit your needs. We offer both regular and oversized shim kits, and we allow you to create a combination of both. Come talk with us about how we can provide you a tab shim solution for your business.
