Upgrade your repair toolkit with the Permatex Optimum Easy-Disassembly Red RTV Silicone Gasket Maker in a convenient 3 oz tube. This advanced gasket maker is engineered to provide maximum temperature performance and simplify disassembly, reducing the time it takes to separate engine parts or components. Apply it as you normally would, and when it's time to take parts apart, simply loosen them and peel away the gasket maker effortlessly with your fingers.

The Optimum Easy-Disassembly Red formula offers exceptional resistance to high temperatures, withstanding intermittent heat up to 750°F (399°C)—higher than Ultra Copper and standard RTV Red. It's ideal for high-temperature applications such as exhaust manifolds, headers, turbochargers, and slip-fit exhaust parts. This sensor-safe, non-corrosive RTV silicone is designed to handle high thermal cycling without compromising its sealing capabilities.

Whether you're replacing pre-cut gaskets or creating a formed-in-place gasket, Permatex Optimum Red provides a reliable seal that resists aging, weathering, and thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking, or cracking. It's the perfect solution for demanding automotive and industrial applications where maximum temperature resistance and easy disassembly are crucial.
