K-SEAL®
OR SEAL-UP?
What
is the difference between Seal-Up and K-Seal®?
Seal-Up is the original cooling system formula and is
based on Sodium Silicate technology. This is very
effective at sealing leaks throughout the cooling system
but it has one drawback. If Seal-Up mixes with
antifreeze and is heated then a reaction can occur
leading to coagulation of the compounds in the cooling
system and potentially causing blockages. As a result it
is essential that the system is drained before and after
treatment (as per the instructions on the product). It
is not necessary to use any special flushing products
but some users like to run water through the system
after draining it.
K-Seal® is a newer formula which has proved to be as
effective as Seal-Up but has the added advantage of
being compatible with all known types of antifreeze. As
a result the product can be added directly to the
cooling system without any special preparation. It can
even be used as a preventative additive where no
problems are present.
We continue to stock both products because Seal-Up still
has an excellent reputation and loyal customer base with
the trade. K-Seal® is now by far our most successful
product and has become popular with the general public,
trade and many enthusiasts clubs. |

Technical
Information
What is Seal-Up?: Seal-Up is a unique
combination of modified sodium silicate (liquid
glass) and copper. Whilst in the bottle or mixed
with water, it remains liquid with the copper
sinking to the bottom.
How does Seal-Up Work?: Seal-Up cures by
exposure to the atmosphere and turns into a
solid ceramic substance enriched with copper.
The copper has two effects: first of all it
strengthens the weld and then it transfers heat,
thereby helping to eliminate hot spots. Seal-Up
bonds with all metals (and even some plastics)
and builds a ceramic-metallic weld which is
extremely strong, high heat resistant and
permanent for the life of the engine.
How strong is Seal-Up?: Seal-Up will
easily repair holes of up to 1mm diameter and
cracks of any length up to 0.5mm wide (both of
which would result in major coolant loss). Seal-Up,
once cured, will withstand temperatures of up to
540ºC (1000ºF) and pressures of up to 3000 psi.
It is designed to expand and contract with the
radiator or block and is also heat conductive in
order to eliminate hot spots. Seal-Up should
also be used immediately after an engine rebuild
to ensure that the head, gaskets and other weak
points in the cooling system are properly
sealed. This will help to avoid the frustration
of having to 'fix the repair'.
Other information about Seal-Up: Seal-Up
will be most effective if, after treatment, the
cooling system is drained and left empty for 2-3
hours or preferably overnight.
Seal-Up, unlike
"pour-in-and-drive-off" stop leak
products, is suitable for all cooling
systems (incl. Rover 800 series) since it is
made up of minute particles of less than 1 thou
diameter. However, it must not be mixed
with coolant!
Seal-Up is supplied in bottles of 323 g
(8 fl.oz) which will treat cooling systems
containing up to 23 litres of water. For larger cooling
systems, 2 bottles should be used
IMPORTANT: SEAL – UP
WILL CLOG COOLING SYSTEM IF ANTIFREEZE IS
PRESENT.
