GORE® Joint Sealant DK 401


GORE™ Joint Sealant DK 401

Sealant for handholes, manholes and other access holes

GORE® Joint Sealant DK 401 has been specifically developed for internally sealed access holes on hot water, pressure and steam vessels.

It is the first cord-type sealant to be tested and approved according to VdTÜV guideline “Sealant 100” and Technical Regulations for Steam Vessels (TRD) 401, appendix 1 for test class “c”. Suitable for applications in internally sealed access holes, it can withstand temperatures up to 225°C and steam pressures up to 25 bar.



GORE® Joint Sealant DK 401 is available on spools and is therefore suitable for any size of opening regardless of the type of construction material.

The structure of GORE® Joint Sealant DK 401 ensures that it conforms easily to tolerances and irregularities in the sealing surfaces. Even after installation the sealant is extremely pressure resistant and can therefore ensure safe operation over long periods.
