Winter weather poses significant challenges for outdoor workers and those in unheated facilities. Traditional thread sealants often harden in freezing temperatures, leading to leaks, equipment failures, and costly delays. Fluoramics addresses these issues with its LOX-8 Thread Sealant, a freeze-proof solution designed to remain flexible and effective even in subzero conditions.
Unlike conventional sealants that stiffen and become difficult to apply in the cold, LOX-8 maintains its soft, pliable consistency at temperatures as low as -460°F (-273°C). This ensures easy application and reliable performance, even in the harshest winter environments. Workers can use LOX-8 immediately without the need for pre-warming or special handling, saving time and reducing downtime.
LOX-8’s advanced chemistry makes it ideal for extreme conditions. It is resistant to harsh chemicals, high pressures, and high temperatures, making it suitable for use with acids, oxidizers, and cryogenic applications. The sealant is also oxygen-safe, waterproof, and versatile, functioning as both a pipe thread compound and an anti-galling agent. It is compatible with oil-based systems, hydraulic oils, and fuels, and is recommended by The Chlorine Institute for use as both a lubricant and a sealant.
Additionally, LOX-8 is safe for use with PVC threads, though care must be taken to avoid over-tightening. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals ensures long-lasting, leak-proof seals, making it a dependable choice for critical winter operations.
With LOX-8, Fluoramics provides a solution that simplifies cold-weather maintenance, reduces risks of equipment failure, and enhances efficiency for workers facing the toughest winter challenges.
