Chem-8 is a great silicone lubricant where sophisticated chemicals are packaged, or where corrosion or rusting is a problem. It is especially suitable for mechanical instruments such as hinges where repeated autoclaving is required. Use Chem-8 to lubricate connections on water systems such as:
- hoses
- faucets
- nozzles
- sinks
- pressure washers

Description
CHEM-8 is an engineered silicone lubricant & thread sealant for use in water and vapor applications that do not require the use of an oxygen-safe product. Chem-8 is recommended for aluminum against aluminum surfaces but 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
- Compatible with rubber, plastic, leather, metal, composite fiber, and electromechanical
- NLGI 5 grease
- Gasket sealant in high vapor situations
- Great for repeated connecting and disconnecting
Applications
- Aerospace
- Industrial
- Automotive
- Vacuum systems.
- Water and steam systems lubricant
- Agriculture
- Autoclaved mechanical instruments
