General Pump Packing Lubricant

General Packing Lubricant is a grease-like material containing an inert silica filler in combination with selected polydimethyl silicone fluids. It is effective as a packing installation lubricant, highly water repellent, resistant to oxidation, essentially non-toxic and non-melting, and shows little tendency to dry out in service. It will retain its room temperature consistency at temperatures from -40°F to 400°F. Practically nonvolatile, it is odorless and is resistant to a wide range of chemicals. General Packing Lubricant can be applied by brushing or wiping. Clean up with mineral spirits. General Packing Lubricant should not be applied to any surface which will be painted or finished. Such coatings may not adhere to the silicone-treated surfaces. If contaminated by a silicone coating, parts can be wiped or washed with solvent or detergent. General Packing Lubricant is in soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, or mineral oil, and soluble in Chlorothene SM, perchloroethylene, mineral spirits and methyl ethyl ketone. General Packing Lubricant is not greatly affected by mineral oi ls, vegetable oils or air. It is greatly resistant to dilute acids and alkalines and to most aqueous solutions. General Packing Lubricant may cause slight temporary discomfort if accidentally rubbed into the eyes. It is essentially non-irritating to the skin.
