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 with hydraulic oils and systems, pvc piping, cryogenics, and high temperatures. This sealant works by wetting into and sealing threaded joints when torqued and is engineered to seal over the entire thread length for the life of the joint in liquid, gas, and vacuum service.

FORMULA-8 is engineered into a shear-sensitive thixotropic paste that wets into and seals threaded joints when torqued. Formula-8 is engineered to seal over the entire thread length for the life of the joint in liquid, gas, and vacuum service.

KEY BENEFITS

Water-soluble

Replaces PTFE tape and corrects challenges associated with tape.

Will not cold flow over time, and will not jam check valves or pumps.

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 accidentally dislodged, making it especially useful in those hard-to-reach places.

Non-toxic, non-hazardous, odorless, and chemically inert.
