CHEM-8 is an engineered silicone PTFE lubricant & thread sealant for use in non-oxygen compatible applications. Chem-8 is recommended for aluminum against aluminum surfaces. 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

USES

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