PLASTOCHEM RUBBER LUBRICANT
Within the comprehensive SWR (Soil, Waste, and Rainwater) product range offered by PLASTOCHEM, rubber lubricant plays a vital role in ensuring efficient and hassle-free installation of Pushfit or rubber ring jointed pipes and fittings. Unlike adhesives or solvent cements, this rubber lubricant is a specialized compound uniquely formulated to act purely as a lubricating agent. It does not chemically bond or weld the pipes together; instead, it significantly reduces friction, making the insertion and alignment of pipes into sockets with rubber seals remarkably smooth and effortless. This facilitates a snug, accurate fit without the need for excessive force, minimizing the risk of damage to both the rubber rings and the pipe ends.
The use of PLASTOCHEM rubber lubricant ensures that the Pushfit systems achieve a secure and reliable joint that maintains its integrity under operational pressures. In fact, Ashirvad Pushfit systems, when assembled with the aid of quality lubricants like those provided by PLASTOCHEM, are rigorously tested to withstand pressures up to 5 kg/cm², ensuring dependable performance even under demanding conditions. Additionally, by allowing the rubber rings to seat correctly and maintain uniform contact, this lubricant helps prevent leaks and contributes to the long-term durability of the piping system.
Furthermore, PLASTOCHEM’s rubber lubricant is formulated to be compatible with the elastomers used in pipe seals, ensuring it does not cause any swelling, hardening, or deterioration of the rubber components over time. This makes it an essential accessory not only for ease of installation but also for safeguarding the life of the joints.
