SILICONE VALVE SEAL
A silicone compound for the lubrication of valves and stopcocks in gas systems over a wide temperature range. It is resistant to many organic chemicals, hot and cold water, low pressure steam, and many gasses. Provides lubrication and protection for ‘O’ rings.
COST SAVING BENEFITS
1. Resistant to a wide range of different chemicals
2. Due to its thixotropic nature, the compound thickens up after movement to ensure excellent sealing properties
3. Protects components from corrosion and seizure
