P-80® THIX Temporary Assembly Lubricant for Incidental Food Contact Applications

P-80® THIX Temporary Assembly Lubricant Gel for Incidental Food Contact (IFC) is a biodegradable assembly aid that eases installation of tight-fitting rubber and plastic parts by reducing the force needed for insertion. Once assembly is complete, P-80® THIX IFC dries and the part returns to its original condition. P-80® THIX IFC thins out under pressure so it can be used in automated systems or applied manually by dip, brush, or spray techniques. P-80® THIX IFC is especially useful in overhead and vertical assembly operations because it remains where it is applied without dripping.
