Sealant/adhesive for watertight paraffin oil container
Sealant/adhesive for watertight paraffin oil container
(OP)
Dear all,
I am currently looking for the best adhesive/sealant for a watertight aluminium container. The container is filled with paraffin oil and is kept at low temperature within range -5degC to 5 degC. Previously I used epoxy based adhesive (araldite) to seal the container opening but it still leak.
I am very appreciate if any of you can advise or suggest me a better sealant that suits the application.
Thank you.

Now carefully section the top/shell joint, and try to deduce its design parameters. Note that such cans are produced by the billions, and have a pretty low failure rate.
Consider the possibility that your joint design is not sufficient to allow _any_ adhesive to work.

The stated environment is benign.
Therefore, if you got a failure, the fault lies in:
- your process
- your preparation
OR
- your joint design.

In this context an opening is not a thing.
