hi i'm going to say no,without research,looked at product,may contain metals?? jmo

 

[homer1475]

Thats thread locker, its actually a sort of glue that holds metal threads to metal threads. Designed for use in engines where temps get real hot.

I would say no.

You want plumbing thread locker, or PVC cement, or thread sealant designed for PVC. Depending on your application.

would this work?

 

[fishguy242]

what are you trying to seal? old school teflon tape,or if perm,wet/dry pvc cement

 

[homer1475]

Again, no. That is designed for metal threads, it might be safe to use, but I'm not sure as I have never used that brand.

What you want to use is PTFE paste, or teflon paste.

Also were all assuming your mating plastic threads to plastic threads?

use this. wrap about 8-10 times around thread and don't over tighten and crack fittings.

Is this cement fine aswell for pvc?

 

[Water Dog]

That PVC cement will work.

BTW, watch this video. This is why most recommend pipe dope, like Teflon paste or Plastic Joint Stik over Teflon tape for PVC threaded fittings.
