Grease is the word
Hi

Being new to rebreathers I was shocked at the price of the O2 compatible grease. Well working in a lab I thought bugger that. Dug out the supply books and came up this this stuff.


VWR International

I can be used in oxygen upto 200C so I would this kit would be ok for diving Can't see many dive sites that hot

It isn't soluble too, again a plus while diving.

And at £23.90 for 60g not a bad price too.

Any comments welcome.

Also phone up the company on behalf of your lab and see if they'll post you out a free sample. Do it all the time with components for various bits

What are you going to use it for? You only need it on the pressurised oxygen systems, which you take apart once in a blue moon. You can use ordinary stuff on the loop components. After all the loop includes you and you're hardly oxygen clean. In fact, as Mary Tudor demonstrated, you'd burn quite well.

Take a look at the COSHH Data sheet on this stuff, I guess you missed the bit were it states "Low Pressure" or the Data Sheet with the line:
"IMPORTANT NOTICE" Glisseal MUST NOT be used to lubricate oxygen cylinder valves.

I guess your lab may get another shock when you vapourise the place.
