The bus transportation industry relies heavily on natural and synthetic rubber for various purposes including chassis, engine and suspension components.

Additional rubber assembly applications include mounts, seals, belts, bushings, O-rings, grommets, insulators, tires, wire harnesses, hoses, and other powertrain components and subsystem assemblies. Due to the slip resistant nature of rubber, it is relatively difficult to install, remove or manipulate. P-80® Lubricants provide a safe and easy way to improve assembly operations.

P-80 assists in the assembly and repair of:

    • Air Intake Hoses
    • Bearings
    • Boots
    • Bumpers
    • Bushings
    • Cooling Hoses
    • Diaphragms
    • Door Seals
    • Engine Hoses
    • Exhaust Hanger Isolators
    • Grommets
    • Hangers
    • Hoses
    • Insulators
    • Mounts

 

  • O-rings
  • Plugs
  • Radiator Hoses

Our Line of Lubricants

applianceAll of our P-80® Lubricants are environmentally friendly, non-hazardous, and non-flammable, making them safe for workers and most plastics, rubbers, and metals. P-80® is available in four ready-to-use industrial formulas, as well as two special formulas that are registered with the NSF as H1 lubricants approved for incidental food contact applications:

The charts below are designed to assist in determining the best P-80® formula for different applications. Each P-80® formula has unique properties designed to meet the needs of specific types of rubber and soft plastic assembly applications. For many assemblies, only one P-80® formula may resolve the assembly challenge. In other instances, more than one P-80® formula might work well. Some facilities may approve and use more than one formula depending on the application.
