For addressing a leakage in a low-temperature piping route around -100°C, choosing the right gasket maker is crucial. You should consider using gasket makers specifically designed for extreme temperatures. Silicone gasket makers can work well for a range of temperatures, including low ones, but ensure they are rated for cryogenic conditions. Fluorosilicone gasket makers offer excellent resistance to both extreme temperatures and chemicals, making them a suitable choice for such environments. Graphite-based gasket makers are also effective in handling very low temperatures. Recommended products include Permatex Ultra Blue RTV Silicone Gasket Maker, Loctite 518 Gasket Maker, and Sikaflex-1a. Always check the temperature ratings and material compatibility before application to ensure effective sealing.
