BIRKOSIT BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt is a single-component, paste luting agent/sealing material for
Description industrial use wherever conditions of temperature combined with pressure on smooth,
plane sealing surfaces (butt joints) make extreme demands on the quality of the
sealing compound. This applies, in particular, to the sealing of metallic joints in:
steam and gas turbines, compressors, generators, expanders, pumps, flange
joints, etc.
®
BIRKOSIT BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt withstands hot steam and air, hot and cold water, light fuel
Temperature oils and lubricants, as well as crude oil and natural gas at temperatures of
resistance up to 900 °C.

BIRKOSIT The adhesion on sealing surfaces and butt joints is so high that a one hundred
Pressure percent seal is guaranteed even for pressures up to 250 bar.
resistance The pressure resistance for flanges without sealing rings is guaranteed up to 450 bar,
and even up to 550 bar for screw joints.

BIRKOSIT When used in accordance with instructions and with regular servicing as required for
Service life steam and gas turbines as well as for the application areas stated above, we
guarantee a service life for use on machined sealing surfaces (butt joints) of 10 years.
®
BIRKOSIT BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt is suitable for sealing all surface sizes. The surface quality of
Fields of the sealing surfaces complies with milled/scraped surfaces with a finishing accuracy
Application of Ra = 0.8 µm to 1.2 µm.
®
Sealing surface damage of ≤ 0.2 mm is compensated with BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt .
To compensate individual points of severe damage of ≥ 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm, we
®
recommend our additional products BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt Filling1000 and
®
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt Filling2000.
®
BIRKOSIT Apply the BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt to the dry sealing surfaces with a brush or putty knife.
Application The layer thickness to be applied is 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm. The product can be
subjected to workloads immediately! It does not cure, will not change its
consistency even after several hours, and remains flexible and elastic.
It is therefore also suitable for butt joint machining.
The colour is reddish brown. Heating the tin to room temperature or adding a tenth part
of standard linseed oil varnish will improve the brushability.
®
BIRKOSIT Packed in 1 kg tins. If stored correctly, BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt has a storage life
Storage of 5 years in the tin. Its properties are stable and it is flexible in use.
Close the tin properly if only a part of the contents is going to be used.
