                                PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

 

NEOLUBE NO. 100 is a high-performance, pipe thread sealant.  This sealant is a creamy paste formulated to impart lubricity for assembly purposes, to provide immediate low pressure sealing, and to cure to a solid for sealing and securing threaded pipe connections.  This product has excellent solvent resistance and withstands temperatures to 300°F (149°C) continuously.  NEOLUBE NO. 100 has been formulated to cure without the use of heat or activators on stainless steel or other inactive surfaces.

 

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON PLASTIC PIPING.  NEOLUBE NO. 100 IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN PURE OXYGEN AND/OR IN AN OXYGEN RICH SYSTEM AND SHOULD NOT BE SELECTED AS A SEALANT FOR CHLORINE OR OTHER STRONG OXIDIZING MATERIALS.

 

                                 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

 

NEOLUBE NO. 100 PIPE THREAD SEALANT is recommended for sealing thread fittings in fossil fuel, solar and hydro power plant piping systems.  Application areas include:

This pipe sealant contains no directly added Lead, Zinc, Mercury, Antimony, or Copper where such elements are leachable or could be released by breakdown of the sealant under expected environmental conditions.

 

                         DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION

 

1. Optimum results will be obtained on fittings that are clean.  Clean parts with reagent grade toluene, acetone, isopropyl alcohol or methyl ethyl ketone.

 

2. Apply NEOLUBE NO. 100 to the leading threads of the male fitting, leaving the first thread free of the sealant.  Force material into the threads to thoroughly fill the voids.

 

3. Using accepted trade practices, assemble and wrench tighten fittings until proper alignment is obtained.

 

4. Properly tightened fittings will seal instantly to moderate pressures. For maximum pressure resistance and solvent resistance, allow NEOLUBE NO. 100 to fully cure (at least 24 hours).

 

5. NO. 100 is designed to cure at room temperature without the use of surface activators or heat.  Higher temperatures will speed cure; lower temperatures will retard the cure process.

 

6. The cure mechanism is initiated when the sealant is excluded from air and confined within the threads of the joint.

 

         TYPICAL PERFORMANCE OF CURED MATERIAL

 

Environmental Resistance

 

The following characteristics of NO. 100, PIPE THREAD SEALANT have been tested by an independent laboratory.

 

1. Calculated estimates under continued temperature and radiation exposure reported the following judgments:

 

$  AThe product will provide a 40-year service life at ambient temperature not exceeding 122°F (50°C).@

$  AA 10-year performance life can be expected for service not exceeding 200°F (94°C).@

$  AThe pipe thread sealant can be safely used to seal threaded pipe joints for approximately 1-year at a temperature of 250°F (131°C).  Under high radiation and at temperatures greater than 250°F, long-term service life has not been predicted accurately.@

$  Under non-nuclear (standard radiation) environments, thermal stability of this high purity PIPE THREAD SEALANT NO. 100 can be expected at temperatures up to 400°F.

 

2. Product is suitable for sealing low pressure steam, not exceeding 300°F (149°C).

 

3. NEOLUBE NO. 100, PIPE THREAD SEALANT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SEALING APPLICATIONS IN THE REACTOR PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AREAS; WHERE OPERATING TEMPERATURES FOR THE FITTINGS ARE GREATER THAN 300°F OR WHERE THE INDUSTRIAL STANDARD REQUIRES WELDED ASSEMBLIES.

 

4. This product is not recommended for use on plastic piping.

 

Solvent Resistance

 

Suitable for use with piping systems containing air, water, gas, hydrocarbons (aromatics), boric acid, alcohols, halocarbons (perchlorethylene, trichlorethylene), organic acids (citric and acetic), mild mineral acids and bases (diluted and cold), and aqueous solutions of lithium salts, hydrazine and mercaptans.

 

Suitable Piping Materials

 

NEOLUBE NO. 100 is recommended for use on Iron, Magnesium, Bronze, Nickel, Zinc, Aluminum, Austenitic, Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Monel, Cadmium, bright plating, anodized surfaces, passivated surfaces and Titanium fittings.  Elevated temperatures will cause threaded Copper to oxidize.  High reliability Copper piping should be pickled prior to use of any sealant.

                                         DISSASSEMBLY

 

Fittings assembled with NEOLUBE NO. 100 may be disassembled with normal hand tools.  Heat may be required to disassemble fittings for large pipe diameters (over 2").  Fittings may be reused by removing loose sealant residue with a wire brush.

 

                              MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY

 

NEOLUBE NO. 100 can be used in conjunction with all metals, glass, ceramics and many thermoset plastics such as phenolic, polyester, etc.  NEOLUBE NO. 100 will, however, soften and sometimes craze thermoplastics including:  ABS, polycarbonate, vinyl, methacrylates, etc.  They will also soften varnish and lacquer finishes.  Most baked enamel finishes are not harmed by initial contact but should be wiped clean within an hour of application.  The cured sealant will not affect any of these materials.

 

                                  STORAGE CONDITIONS

 

NEOLUBE NO. 100 shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry location in unopened containers at a temperature between 8° to 28°C (46° to 82°F) unless otherwise labeled.  NEOLUBE NO. 100 has a shelf life of 24 months from date outlined on the Certificate of Conformance.  Refer to the Certificate of Conformance for expiration date.  To prevent contamination of unused material, do not return any product to its original container.
