Fel-Pro® Introduces PermaTorque® MLS Head Gasket with NextGen Coating
New Coating Helps to Accommodate for Today's Higher Engine Temperature Environments
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."
