Chem-8 is a great silicone lubricant where sophisticated chemicals are packaged, or where corrosion or rusting is a problem. It is especially suitable for mechanical instruments such as hinges where repeated autoclaving is required. Use Chem-8 to lubricate connections on water systems such as hoses, faucets, nozzles, sinks, pressure washers.

Description

CHEM-8 is an engineered silicone lubricant & thread sealant for use in water and vapor applications that do not require the use of an oxygen-safe product. Chem-8 is recommended for aluminum against aluminum surfaces but it is not recommended for alkali, fluorine or HF environments.

Key Benefits

  • Works particularly well as a thread sealant for high-pressure gases (except fluorine and oxygen).
  • Ideal pipe joint sealer for aqueous systems like water systems, steam lines, and acids (except HF and alkali).
  • Great high vacuum grease (torr 10-6) to lubricate O-rings or seal threads in vacuum systems.
  • Waterproof, effective to 300°F, chemically inert, and non-toxic.
  • Has an extremely high film strength, which means it stays in place
  • Compatible with rubber, plastic, leather, metal, composite fiber, and electromechanical
  • NLGI 5 grease
  • Gasket sealant in high vapor situations
  • Great for repeated connecting and disconnecting

Applications

  • Aerospace
  • Industrial
  • Automotive
  • Vacuum systems.
  • Water and steam systems lubricant
  • Agriculture
  • Autoclaved mechanical instruments
