Fluoramics Chem-8 Grease
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
CHEM-8 is an engineered silicone PTFE 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. Chem-8® is a great 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. As a superior Silicone-PTFE lubricant, Chem-8 works particularly well for high pressure gasses except fluorine and oxygen. It is waterproof, effective to 300°F, and chemically inert. Chem-8 stays put, lasts indefinitely, and is resistant to autoclave washout.
