Refrigeration Technologies RT201B Nylog Gasket/Thread Sealant - Blue - 30 ml
Refrigeration Technologies RT201B Nylog Blue Gasket Thread Sealant and assembly lube. This product...Refrigeration Technologies RT201B Nylog Blue Gasket Thread Sealant and assembly lube. This product is made from synthetic refrigeration grade compressor oil and is fully miscible and compatible with all system refrigerants and oils. Gaskets coated with Nylog will never dry or become heat fixed to the surface. Threaded connections coated with Nylog will block high pressure leaks by forming a hydraulic seal. Nylog can be used an assembly lube when installing shaft seals, o-rings, schrader valves, ball valves, or other internal system components. It will not contaminate systems, seals flares and threaded connections, and lubricates o-rings and gaskets. It is approved by OEM Manufacturers. Nylog Blue is a viscoelastic fluid that never hardens or dries and remains temperature and vibration resistant. It is used as an assembly lube on gaskets, o-rings and internal system components and is used by OEMs Worldwide.
The Refrigeration Technologies RT201B Nylog Blue Gasket/Thread Sealant is designed for HVACR technicians and professionals working with refrigeration systems. Its key benefit is providing a reliable seal for gaskets and threaded connections while also serving as a non-drying assembly lubricant, ensuring components remain free and functional. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, requiring proper application to maximize effectiveness. This sealant is made from synthetic refrigeration-grade compressor oil, fully miscible with all refrigerants and oils, and remains temperature and vibration resistant without hardening.

FAQs
What is Nylog Blue primarily used for?
Nylog Blue is used as a gasket and thread sealant, and as an assembly lubricant for internal components in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
Will Nylog Blue contaminate my refrigeration system?
No, it is made from synthetic refrigeration-grade compressor oil and is fully miscible and compatible with all system refrigerants and oils, meaning it will not contaminate the system.
Does Nylog Blue dry out or harden over time?
No, Nylog Blue is a viscoelastic fluid that never hardens or dries out, remaining temperature and vibration resistant.
Can I use Nylog Blue on flare fittings?
Yes, it can be used to seal flares and threaded connections by forming a hydraulic seal.
Is Nylog Blue safe for all types of O-rings and gaskets?
Yes, it is designed to lubricate and protect O-rings and gaskets without causing degradation, and is compatible with various materials used in refrigeration systems.
How much Nylog Blue should I use?
A thin, even coat is generally sufficient. Excessive application is usually unnecessary and can create a mess. Refer to specific component manufacturer guidelines if available.
Can Nylog Blue be used in automotive air conditioning systems?
Yes, as long as the system uses standard refrigeration oils and refrigerants, Nylog Blue is compatible and can be used for sealing and lubrication.
Troubleshooting
Gasket feels 'stuck' after initial application.
Ensure a thin, even layer was applied. If excessive material was used, it may create a stronger bond than intended. For future applications, use less product.
Leak detected at a threaded connection after using Nylog Blue.
Verify the connection was properly tightened and that the sealant was applied to the entire thread. Check for physical damage to the threads or fitting. Reapply Nylog Blue and re-tighten.
Nylog Blue appears to have hardened.
This is unlikely with genuine Nylog Blue. Ensure the product has not been mixed with other sealants or exposed to extreme conditions prior to application. Verify the product's expiry or batch date if possible.
Difficulty applying a smooth, even coat.
Use a small brush or applicator tip. Warm the sealant slightly if in a very cold environment, but avoid overheating. Ensure the component surface is clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the surfaces to be sealed or lubricated are clean and dry.
Apply a thin, even coat of Nylog Blue to the gasket, O-ring, or threaded connection.
For threaded connections, ensure the sealant forms a continuous film.
Assemble components as per manufacturer's instructions.
Wipe away any excess sealant that may have squeezed out after assembly.
Compatibility:
Refrigerants: Fully compatible with all system refrigerants.
Oils: Fully compatible with all refrigeration oils (mineral, alkylbenzene, ester).
Materials: Safe for use on metal, rubber, and plastic components commonly found in refrigeration systems.
Care:
Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Keep the container tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination.
Clean application tools promptly after use.
While Nylog Blue itself does not dry out, avoid introducing contaminants to the sealant in the container.
