ABM75 is an aluminum foil c/w kneading compound for sealing. Recommended to use in conjunction with AK22. Supplied in 11 pcs of 205mm x 100mm.
AK22 Viscous Putty
AK22 is a tough, kneadable putty, strongly adhering on nearly every material. At very high accelerations (e.g. stroke or fast rotation) the AK22 may move its position because of its high mass. AK22 does not harden so there is no question of its hindering movement at the gauge area. An optimum protection can be reached by putting a layer of ABM75 on top of the AK22.
