GLEITMO SIL 710 (Formerly CHEMPLEX 710)
Soft, smooth lubricant for O-rings, gaskets and plastic parts
Description
GLEITMO SIL 710 silicone compound is part of a large series of fine synthetic based materials each formulated with specially selected inert silica thickeners to enhance its physical and chemical properties. Smooth, tacky and grease-like. GLEITMO SIL 710 silicone compound is characterized by exceptional resistance to corrosive environments, acids and solvents. It also has excellent high temperature stability and durability with good electrical properties and water repellency.
Field of Applications
GLEITMO SIL 710 silicone compound is resistant to oxidation, thermal degradation and a broad range of chemicals. Because it is inert to rubber and other elastomers, it is particularly useful for lubricating O-rings, gaskets and seals in pumps, mixers and valves. Electrical connectors, splices, terminations, switch gear, battery terminals, auto ignition components and myriad other electrical devices stay moisture sealed in this high dielectric medium. In ovens, fan bearings and a variety of other high temperature lubricant applications, GLEITMO SIL 710 compound exhibits excellent stability and durability due to its wide operating temperature range of -50°F to 400°F.
Method of application
GLEITMO SIL 710 can be applied by various methods including automated pumping systems, by hand, by brushing, or by wiping. GLEITMO SIL 710 can be applied by spraying or dipping by lowering the consistency of the product by diluting the compound with solvents such as mineral spirits, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, and chlorinated ethanes.
