LOX-8 Paste
LOX-8 Paste chemistry is engineered for harsh chemicals situations where extreme acids or powerful oxidizers are used. It prevents stainless steel galling and it is a chemical-resistant sealant that can withstand high pressure, and both high extreme and cryogenic deep freeze temperatures. Oxygen-safe, waterproof, and versatile, it is both a sealant and an anti-galling agent. Works great with oil-based systems, hydraulic oils, and fuels. LOX-8 is recommended for use as both a lubricant and as a sealant by The Chlorine Institute members.

KEY BENEFITS
- Formulated for wet conditions and dry applications. High-density, inert thread sealant.
- Remains stable up to 550°F. It is nonflammable and nontoxic.
- Oxygen-safe, gaseous & liquid.
- Not affected by harsh chemicals such as chlorines, hypochlorites or powerful oxidizers.
- Allows you to standardize on one sealant, replacing all the pipe sealants in your tool box or factory. Eliminates plumbing errors, standardizes inventory and practices.
- Oxygen-approved by The German Federal Institute for Materials Testing (BAM) and ASTM G72-82 and ASTM G86 (NASA).
- Praxair GS-38 approved
- NSF-approved for use in food processing facilities
- NLGI 2 grease and lubricant
USES
- Water Treatment, including Hydrofluorosilicic Acid and Sodium Hypochlorite
- Aerospace
- Welding systems and bottled gases
- Agricultural chemicals and spray equipment, including ammonia and fertilizers
- Off-shore rigging
- Chlorine water treatment
- Chlorine manufacturing environments
- Stainless steel anti-galling
- Oxygen and chlorine systems
