BLUESIL TAP Grease
Lubricating paste for industry and laboratory use for lubricating taps and valves at extreme temperatures or in contact with water and corrosive chemicals, also as an anti-seize paste and for O-ring assembly.
BLUESIL TAP Grease is a polydimethylsiloxane-based silicone paste with inert fillers for the industrial lubrication of taps, valves, and fittings operating at very high or low temperatures, in water, or with corrosive chemicals. Applications include anti-seize protection of metal fittings and laboratory glassware joints, lubrication of slow-moving mechanisms in humid or corrosive environments, O-ring assembly, and protection of moving parts from splashing water. The paste is highly water-repellent and wash-resistant, viscosity-stable across a wide temperature range, extremely temperature resistant, chemically inert to metals, rubber, and plastics, and solvent-resistant.
