LOX-8 Paste

LOX-8 Paste chemistry is engineered for harsh chemical applications where extreme acids or powerful oxidizers are used. It prevents stainless steel galling and it is a sealant that can withstand high pressure and both high extreme and cryogenic deep-freeze temperatures. Oxygen-safe, waterproof, and versatile, it is an all-purpose sealant and 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 non-flammable and non-toxic.
• Oxygen-safe, gaseous & liquid.
• Not affected by harsh chemicals such as chlorines, hypochlorites, or powerful oxidizers.
• A multi-purpose, cross-functional sealant.
• Allows you to standardize on one sealant, replacing all the pipe sealants in your toolbox or factory. Eliminates plumbing errors, standardizes inventory and practices.
• Oxygen-tested by The German Federal Institute for Materials Testing (BAM) and ASTM G72-82 and ASTM G86 (NASA).
• Praxair GS-38 approved
• Approved for use in food processing facilities.

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
• Cryogenics
• Diving gear
• Nitrous oxide systems
• Medical equipment
• Safe to use with plastic pipes and fittings, including nylon

LOX-8 is extremely effective in the water treatment and wastewater industries as it is impervious to the harsh chemicals used by treatment plants.
