Winter weather creates tough challenges for outdoor workers and those in unheated facilities – with freezing temperatures causing traditional thread sealants to harden, leading to leaks, delays and equipment failures.Fluoramics solves these problems with its LOX-8 Thread Sealant, a freeze-proof product that stays flexible and functional in subzero temperatures.
Fluoramics designed LOX-8 to perform seamlessly in extreme conditions, ensuring reliability and ease of use for critical winter operations. LOX-8 maintains its soft, pliable consistency even at -460°F (-273°C). This flexibility allows workers to apply it effortlessly, no matter how cold the environment. Unlike traditional sealants, LOX-8 doesn’t freeze or stiffen, so workers can use it immediately, saving time and eliminating delays caused by warming or special handling. Also, its chemical and temperature resistance ensures reliable, long-lasting seals, even in the toughest environments.
LOX-8 Thread Sealant chemistry is engineered for harsh-chemical situations where extreme acids or powerful oxidisers are used. It is a chemical-resistant sealant that prevents stainless steel galling, and withstands high pressure, high temperatures and cryogenic deep freeze temperatures. Oxygen-safe, waterproof, and versatile, it is both a sealing pipe thread compound and an anti-galling agent which works well 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. It is also safe to use with PVC threads as a plastic pipe joint sealant.
