LOX 8 Oxygen-Safe Thread Sealant


LOX-8 oxygen-safe thread sealant is available in both grease and paste, specifically formulated for wet conditions

The excellent lubricity of LOX-8 results from our formulation of jelled oil of polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), containing a high percentage of .5 to .05 micron polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

LOX-8 pipe joint thread sealant is highly recommended where oxygen, aggressive chemicals such as chlorine, or powerful oxidizers are present.

LOX-8 is odorless, non-corrosive and hydrophobic (waterproof). It is totally non-migrating and remains where it is applied. LOX-8 is ideal where repetitive assembly and disassembly are required, even after long periods of time. 

Use LOX-8 where wet/humid conditions exist, in pressures up to 10,000psi. LOX-8 remains stable up to 450oF; it is nonflammable and nontoxic.

* LOX-8 paste and grease are available in 100 gram jars, 100 gram plungers and in one pound jars. *
