LOX-8 Thread Sealant is oxygen compatible and is highly recommended where harsh chemicals such as chlorine or powerful oxidizers are present. It is the product of choice in applications where critical safety and resistance to aggressive chemicals are primary requirements. Providing superior performance as a sealant and anti-galling agent, LOX-8 withstands both extreme temperatures and high pressure.
It is specifically formulated for wet conditions, but can also be used in dry conditions. It is a high density sealant expressly designed for severe high-pressure applications.
- Odorless, noncorrosive, waterproof, non-migrating, and nonflammable
- Certified for oxygen service
- NSF approved for use in food processing facilities.

Description
LOX-8 Thread Sealant chemistry is engineered for harsh-chemical situations where extreme acids or powerful oxidizers are used. It is a chemical-resistant sealant that prevents stainless steel galling, 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. 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. Safe to use with PVC threads as a plastic pipe joint sealant but be careful to not over tighten.
See the Technical Data Sheets for complete list of specifications, approvals, testing, compatible liquids, gases, and aggressive chemicals.
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.
