1 of 6 products in this brand
Food-grade synthetic esters emulsified in water. P-80® THIX Temporary Assembly Lubricant 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, the lubricant dries, resulting in a secure assembly. P-80® THIX IFC is especially useful in overhead and vertical assembly operations because it remains where it is applied without dripping.
