P-80®: A Safe and Easy Assembly Lubricant That Improves Automotive Assembly Operations

An automotive assembly lubricant can counteract rubber’s non-slip properties. Without a quality assembly lubricant,  the automotive assembly process can be very difficult. In addition without an assembly aid, tight-fitting rubber components can cause production to slow down. Quality and safety standards will also slip. The P-80® line is specially formulated to provide temporary assembly lubrication. As a result, rubber automotive assembly parts are easier to install, remove, or otherwise manipulate.

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
  • Hoses
  • Insulators
  • Mounts
  • O-rings
  • Plugs
  • Radiator Hoses
  • Rubber Moldings
  • Seals
  • Sleeves
  • Suspension Bushings
  • Transmission Cooler Lines
  • Tire Mounting
  • Trunk Seals
  • Vibration Bushings
  • Weather Stripping
  • Window Seals
  • Windshield Washer Hoses
  • Wire Harnesses

Benefits of Our Line of Automotive Assembly Lubricants

applianceThere are many benefits of our P-80® line of lubricants. First, all of our P-80® Lubricants are environmentally friendly, non-hazardous, and non-flammable. As a result, this makes our lubricants safe for workers. In addition, it will not harm most plastics, rubbers, or metals. Finally, P-80® is available in four ready-to-use industrial formulas. Also available are two special formulas that are registered with the NSF as H1 lubricants approved for incidental food contact applications:

P-80 PROPERTIES

The charts below are designed to assist in determining the best P-80® formula for different applications. Each P-80® formula has unique properties. These properties are 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. Also, some facilities may approve and use more than one formula depending on the application.
