Fluoramics launches LOX-8 thread sealant for situations involving harsh-chemical where extreme acids or powerful oxidizers are used. The new thread sealant prevents stainless steel galling and is chemical-resistant.
Oxygen-safe, Waterproof Thread Sealant
The sealant can withstand high pressure, high-temperatures and cryogenic deep freeze temperatures. LOX-8 thread sealant is oxygen-safe, waterproof and versatile.
The sealant works great with oil-based systems, hydraulic oils and fuels. LOX-8 thread sealant is recommended for use as both a lubricant and as a sealant by The Chlorine Institute members. It is safe to use with PVC threads as a plastic pipe joint sealant but caution is advised to avoid over-tightening during use.
Key Benefits
Formulated for wet conditions and dry applications. High-density, inert thread sealant.
Remains stable up to +287°C (+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.
Anti-galling, anti-seize, anti-corrosive
Non-migrating, non-hardening sealant
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
