Formula-8 seals threads in gas, liquid and vacuum service.Oxygen-safe and NSF approved for food processing facilities,Formula-8 is a water-based thread sealing compound compatible withhydraulic oils and systems, pvc piping, cryogenics, and hightemperatures. This sealant works by wetting into and sealingthreaded joints when torqued and is engineered to seal over theentire thread length for the life of the joint in liquid, gas, andvacuum service.
Description
FORMULA-8 isengineered into a shear-sensitive thixotropic paste that wets intoand seals threaded joints when torqued. Formula-8 is engineered toseal over the entire thread length for the life of the joint inliquid, gas, and vacuum service.
KEYBENEFITS
Water-soluble
Replaces PTFE tape and corrects challenges associated withtape.
Will not cold flow over time, and will not jam check valves orpumps.
Stable from cryogenic temperatures to 287°C (+550°F).
It is stable in pressures up to 10,000 psi and in vacuums 10(-3)torr.
Wets aggressively to threads and cannot be accidentallydislodged, making it especially useful in those hard-to-reachplaces.
Non-toxic, non-hazardous, odorless, and chemically inert.
