Plastochem Rubber Lubricant

Smooth, Effortless, Reliable Pipe Installation

When it comes to laying pipes, achieving a perfect joint isn’t just about quality pipes and fittings — it’s also about how smoothly they come together. Plastochem Rubber Lubricant is specially formulated to make your pipe installations faster, easier, and cleaner. Designed for use with both pressure and non-pressure pipe systems that utilize rubber ring or gasket joints, this premium lubricant ensures a hassle-free push-fit every single time.

Why Plastochem Rubber Lubricant?

✅ Reduces Insertion Force
Pushing one pipe into another can require significant force, which increases the risk of damaging the rubber ring or misaligning the joint. Plastochem Rubber Lubricant dramatically reduces the friction between surfaces, letting the rubber ring slide smoothly into place without stretching, twisting, or rolling. This means less strain on your crew — and on your pipeline.

✅ Protects Rubber Seals & Extends Lifespan
Incorrect installation often damages rubber gaskets, leading to costly leaks and repairs. Our lubricant cushions the rubber during insertion, helping preserve its integrity and flexibility for years of leak-free performance.

✅ Bio-Degradable & Environmentally Safe
Plastochem Rubber Lubricant is a bio-degradable emulsion, making it a smart choice for contractors, municipalities, and industries that care about minimizing environmental impact. It’s gentle on the environment while tough on friction.

✅ Versatile for Multiple Applications
Ideal for use in potable water lines, sewerage and drainage systems, irrigation, and industrial pipeline installations. It’s your all-around solution for any rubber ring or gasket-based jointing system.

✅ Non-Toxic & Safe to Handle
Easy on the hands and completely safe to use around drinking water systems. No harmful solvents, no strong fumes, just pure performance.

How It Works

1️⃣ Clean the Pipe & Gasket:
Ensure surfaces are clean and free from debris.

2️⃣ Apply Lubricant Generously:
Use a brush, sponge, or gloved hand to apply Plastochem Rubber Lubricant evenly over the spigot and around the rubber gasket.

3️⃣ Push & Align:
Insert the pipe into the socket with gentle twisting. You’ll feel it slide into place with minimal resistance.

4️⃣ Job Done:
No more forced pushing or hammering — your pipe is perfectly jointed and your gasket perfectly seated.

What Makes Plastochem Rubber Lubricant Stand Out?

• Creamy, Consistent Texture: Ensures even spread without lumps or run-off.

• Water-Based Emulsion: Easy to clean off tools and hands with just water.

• Long-Lasting Slip: Doesn’t dry out too quickly, giving you plenty of working time.

• Cost-Effective: A little goes a long way, reducing overall project costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

❓ Can Plastochem Rubber Lubricant be used for drinking water pipelines?

✅ Yes. It’s non-toxic, odourless, and safe for use with potable water systems.

❓ Will this lubricant wash away easily once the system is operational?

✅ Yes. It is water-soluble, so once your pipeline is pressurized or flushed, the excess lubricant disperses naturally, leaving only a secure, tight seal.

❓ Can I use it in very cold or hot weather?

✅ Absolutely. Plastochem Rubber Lubricant maintains its consistency across a wide temperature range, ensuring smooth application whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly winter morning.

❓ Does it harm rubber rings or plastic pipes?

✅ Not at all. Unlike petroleum-based greases, our formulation is rubber-friendly and won’t degrade gaskets or pipe surfaces over time.

❓ How do I clean it up if it spills?

✅ Simply use water and a cloth. Since it’s a water-based emulsion, it washes off easily without leaving residues.

❓ Is there a recommended quantity per joint?

✅ Generally, a light to medium coating is enough. You want the surface to look wet and slightly glossy, not heavily smeared.
