Lubricants and Sealants
- Lubricants prevent components from sticking, allowing for easier repairs down the line
- Acts as an additional soft seal beyond existing gaskets and o-rings
- Reduces friction between moving components, keeping things going for longer
Lubricants and Sealants are often used on gaskets and o-rings to prevent sticking to metal surfaces. They make assembly and disassembly easier by reducing friction on pipe joints, fasteners, flanges, and other components, and can also help reduce surface corrosion over the service lifespan.
