The LOX-8® brand features products that are engineered to withstand even the most extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals, and conditions.  While not all products demonstrate the same features, there is a product for virtually every use. 

Products under the LOX-8 brand include:

LOX-8 Products are found in aerospace, water treatment, manufacturing, scientific and medical labs, cryogenics, chlorine, medical industries, plus more.

Extreme Temperatures

Most products in the LOX-8 family withstand temperatures ranging from cryogenic to +287°C (+550°F) with no degradation. That makes these products suitable for use in not only cryogenic labs, but in aerospace, medical, scientific industries, and manufacturing.

Extreme Chemicals

LOX-8 products are chemically inert and will not be attacked by harsh acids, chemicals, or gases. LOX-8 products are certified for oxygen use and several of the products are recommended by the Chlorine Institute for use with chlorine.

Extreme Conditions

LOX-8 products provide superior lubrication performance in environments where many other lubricants won’t survive. They are solvent-free and will not evaporate away, plus are non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-flammable, and odorless which makes them safe to use everywhere. In addition, they provide anti-galling, anti-seizing, and anti-corrosion attributes, and are formulated for wet and dry conditions. LOX-8 products are used in extreme conditions with bottled gases, fuels, and oxygen systems in rocket launches and space travel in the aerospace industry.
