COMPOSITION

  • Silicone oil with inorganic thickener

FEATURES

  • Wide service temperature range (-40°C/-40°F to 200°C/392°F)
  • Excellent water resistance
  • Compatible with most elastomers and plastics
  • Low vapor pressure and low volitility
  • Meets several global standards for water contact including FDA and NSF
  • A thinner consistency can be achieved by dispersing in solvents such as xylene

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

  • Installation Rubber and plastic O-rings, gaskets and seals and ongoing sealing surface lubrication depending on application.
    Lubrication for control and pressure plug valves, water softener and faucet valves.
  • Sealant for vacuum and pressure systems.
  • Sealant for outdoor equipment (also shipboard) subject to washing and harsh environmental exposure: meters, electrical service entrance and underground connections.
  • Damping medium for dash pots in electrical and electronic equipment.
  • Used as an anti-stick and a sealant for transformer gasket and equipment enclosures. It prevents gaskets from sticking to metal and resists weathering and water washout.

USE

Can be applied by hand or specially designed automated equipment brushing or wiping systems. Certain designs of grease guns may seize up; test prior to use. A thinner consistency can be achieved by dispersing in solvents such as xylene, mineral spirits and methyl ethyl ketone can then be applied by brushing, dipping or spraying.  Should not be applied to any surface which will be painted or finished. Such coatings may not adhere to the silicone-treated surface. If contaminated by a silicone coating, parts can be wiped or washed with solvent, washed with detergent, or immersed in an alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution and then rinsed in clear water before painting.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Not greatly affected by mineral oils, vegetable oils or air. It is generally resistant to dilute acids and alkaline and to most aqueous solutions. Because each application may vary in chemical composition, pressure, flow velocity, re-lubrication requirements and equipment design, it is recommended that the silicone compound be tested before adopting for regular use. Not to be used with liquid oxygen and should not be used in applications requiring LOX compatibility.

USABLE LIFE AND STORAGE

When stored at or below 20°C (68°F) in the original unopened containers, this product has a usable life of 60 months from the date of production.
