SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Fel-Pro® Gaskets, The Gasket Professionals
Trust™ and a leading brand from DRiV Automotive Inc., has
developed the next generation of proprietary coatings for its
popular PermaTorque® MLS multi-layered steel head
gaskets. This next generation coating has been designed to
help adapt to today's higher temperature engine environments, as
Fel-Pro engineers continue to develop sealing technology
specifically designed for the repair environment.
Created to help seal imperfect surfaces, Fel-Pro PermaTorque MLS
head gaskets are equipped with a proprietary NextGen coating that
resists scrubbing and compensates for surface finishes as rough as
80 Ra, creating a reliable seal that technicians can depend
on. These gaskets also feature LaserWeld™ exclusive stopper
layer technology, which prevents gasket damage and helps to ensure
a superior combustion seal. Each gasket's multiple layers of
full-hard stainless steel maintain gasket shape and accommodate
head lift, while strategically placed sealing beads at all vital
areas eliminate leak paths.
"Fel-Pro is the brand of gaskets that professional technicians
depend on to deliver the latest in innovative sealing solutions for
the real-world repair environment. They know that Fel-Pro
provides the right materials and technologies such as PermaTorque
MLS and PermaDryPlus to help them seal the less-than-perfect
sealing surfaces they may encounter in the bay," said Jim Daigle, senior product manager,
Fel-Pro. "With the introduction of PermaTorque MLS with
proprietary NextGen coating, techs now have an additional
application-specific product to use for some of their most
challenging sealing repairs."
