Increase output and decrease part rejection by reducing friction during assembly

International Products Corporation (IPC) offers a unique line of temporary rubber lubricants. Our P-80® lubricants are available in six water-based formulas that offer superior lubrication compatible with a variety of surfaces. Additionally, all of our lubricants are environmentally friendly.

Do You Need Rubber Lubricants?

Do any of these assembly problems sound familiar?

• Rolling O-rings
• Uneven cuts
• Misaligned parts
• Damaged parts
• Injured workers (sore muscles, slippage, repetitive stress injury)

If so, our P-80® Temporary Rubber Lubricants can help by:

• Reducing installation force by minimizing surface tension
• Allowing for tighter fitting part design
• Improving product performance
• Increasing production rates by allowing for faster assembly
• Reducing worker injuries by decreasing the assembly force required
• Reducing part rejection

Why Use Rubber Lubricants?

Additionally, the temporary nature of our P-80 rubber lubricants puts them in a category by themselves, as these lubricants will not reactivate once they dry and will not dry out rubber.

Our Line of Lubricants

All of our P-80 lubricants are environmentally friendly, non-hazardous, and non-flammable, making them safe for workers and most plastics, rubbers, and metals. P-80 is available in four ready-to-use industrial formulas, as well as two special formulas that are registered with the NSF as H1 lubricants approved for incidental food contact applications:

• P-80® Emulsion Temporary Rubber Assembly Lubricant: A biodegradable blend of synthetic esters and water. P-80® Emulsion provides a thin film of lubrication to significantly reduce friction. Common uses include seals, bushings, O-rings, grommets, and hoses, to name a few.
• P-80® Grip-It Quick-Drying Temporary Rubber Assembly Lubricant: A quick-drying, water-based surfactant mixture that dries tacky to help parts stay in place. P-80® Grip-It is excellent for use on pressure-tested hoses and foam grips.
• P-80® RediLube Temporary Rubber Assembly Lubricant: A biodegradable, low residue lubricant designed for use on non-porous and coated rubber surfaces. P-80® RediLube dries completely and quickly.
• P-80® THIX Temporary Rubber Lubricant Gel: A biodegradable, non-drip thixotropic gel that is ideal for overhead and vertical assembly operations.
• P-80® Emulsion IFC Temporary Rubber Assembly Lubricant & P-80® THIX IFC Temporary Rubber Lubricant Gel: Offer the same lubricating properties as P-80® Emulsion and P-80® THIX, but are specially formulated for use on parts and equipment with incidental food contact. Typical applications include assembly of appliances, pumps, and food processing equipment. Both of these P-80 IFC lubricants are certified by the NSF for use in USDA H1 applications and meet FDA regulation 21 CFR 178.3570.
