Fastlube AG
- Description
Description
A superior lubricant for eliminating galling on stainless steel threaded connections and achieving metal-to-metal seal, AG lowers torque requirements, reduces friction under pressure and is equally effective on other gallsusceptible materials, ferrous alloys and more common types of carbon steel. AG contains a high percentage of PTFE flakes that prevent leaks on fluid connections at pressures up to 20,000 psi, and eliminates the need for Teflon tape. In a case study, the threads of a stainless steel bolt were distorted when hit with a hammer.Normally, the threads would be ruined and the bolt discarded. However, FastLUBE AG was applied to the damaged threads and a nut was turned down the bolt. Amazingly, the threads were reformed to nearly their original shape and the mating surfaces were once again smooth and even.
