About this deal
In general, silicone is not compatible with petrol. There are, however, some silicone-based products that are specifically formulated to resist fuel. SS-300, a room temperature vulcanising silicone sealant, is a notable example. Used for formed-in-place gaskets where irregular shapes and harsh conditions reject ordinary seals.
Dowsil 730 Petrol Resistant Sealant - 90ml 730FS90 | Cromwell
The sealant provides good resistance to weathering, vibration, moisture, ozone and temperature extremes. ApplicationsAbrasion resistance: also abrasion resistance is of high importance as the concrete and the sealant are subject to almost continuous traffic. When exposed to moisture in the air, the product will cure at room temperature forming a tough, flexible rubber. Remains flexible and stable from -65 to 260°C.

Fuel tanks and fuel lines. Petrol resistant sealants are used to create air-tight seals in fuel lines. They are also used to seal the rivets and joints of fuel tanks. This prevents dangerous leaks and avoids liquid and air intrusion. Sealants used on fuel tanks must provide flexibility, to accommodate the movement of vehicles. Petrol resistant sealants are used in both the automotive and the aerospace industries. Petrol resistant sealants need to have exceptional chemical resistance coupled with good mechanical properties. Finding the right petrol resistant sealant for the right application can be a challenging task: certain sealants may be effective on some petroleum-based products, but not others. Modified silyl polymer sealant: conventional silicone sealants are known for their chemical resistance, but modified silyl polymer sealants have increased abrasion and heavy mechanical stress resistance.
What kind of sealants are petrol resistant?
Petrol stations. Harsh chemicals such as petrol and motor oil are always present at service stations. Petrol resistant products are used as a coating and sealant to protect station floors. This helps keep the soil and groundwater clean and reduces fire hazards. It also prevents staining from grease and oil. Petrol resistant sealants are similarly used on workshops and factory floors. PRC Rapid Seal® 652 is a flexible high-performance sealant intended for use in chemical storage tanks where there will be exposure to a variety of chemicals such as gasoline, crude oil or ethanol.
