Frequently Asked Questions
How to apply the sealant on threads?
- Clean the male and female threads to remove dirt or oil.
- Starting from one to two threads back from the end of the male fitting, use a finger to liberally apply LOX-8 sealant for filling the threads.

Does LOX-8 paste prevent the galling of stainless steel fittings?
Yes, LOX-8 paste is an excellent anti-galling agent and is formulated to protect and lubricate stainless steel threaded connections.
What are the types of bottled gases for which LOX-8 paste is an effective thread sealant?
LOX-8 paste features chemically-inert properties that make them compatible with industrial and medical-grade gases, such as acetylene, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, oxygen, propane and more.
