Product Name: O-Ring Lubricant / High-Pressure Seal Assembly Grease (Part No. 400015-1)

Description:
This component is a specialized O-ring lubricant explicitly formulated for high-pressure waterjet cutting systems . It is a high-performance, non-petroleum-based grease designed to assist in the installation, maintenance, and protection of O-rings, dynamic seals, and critical sealing components within the intensifier pump . It ensures that elastomeric seals are properly conditioned to avoid rolling, pinching, or tearing during assembly .

This lubricant is engineered to maintain its consistency and effectiveness under extreme continuous pressures up to 60,000–90,000 PSI . It provides a thin protective film that reduces friction between metal surfaces and seals, enhancing the initial sealing performance and preventing dry startup after maintenance . Unlike general-purpose petroleum-based greases, this lubricant is formulated to be compatible with standard waterjet seal materials (such as polyurethane, PTFE, and Viton), ensuring it does not cause seal swelling or degradation .

Applications:

• Lubricating high-pressure dynamic seals (HP seals) and static O-rings during installation into the high-pressure cylinder .

• Coating O-rings, backup rings, and rod seals before assembling the hydraulic cartridge and plunger assembly .

• Used as an assembly aid when rebuilding check valves, on/off valves, and intensifier wet-end components .

• Compatible with H2O Jet, KMT, Flow, OMAX, and WSI waterjet intensifier systems .

Features:

• High-Pressure Stability: Specifically formulated to withstand extreme pressure conditions up to 90,000 PSI without breaking down .

• Material Compatibility: Safe for use with all standard waterjet seal materials (urethane, PTFE, Viton) and will not cause swelling or degradation .

• Reduced Assembly Friction: Minimizes friction during seal installation, preventing the rolling or pinching that often damages new seals and leads to leaks .

• Corrosion Protection: Provides a lasting barrier against water ingress and corrosion on metal components and sealing surfaces .

• Smooth Operation: Ensures smooth start-up after pump rebuilds by preventing dry running of critical reciprocating parts .

Maintenance:

When to Use:

• Every Seal Replacement: Apply a thin, even coat to all new O-rings, dynamic seals, and backup rings during every seal installation or pump rebuild .

• Component Assembly: Use during the assembly of check valves, on/off valves, and the hydraulic cartridge to ensure smooth fitting of components .

Application Guidelines:

• Thin Film Application: Apply only a thin, uniform film to the seal and the component bore. Excess grease can attract abrasive dust or particulate contamination during pump operation .

• Surface Preparation: Ensure sealing surfaces and grooves are completely clean and dry before application to ensure the lubricant adheres correctly.

• Full Depressurization (Critical): Always fully depressurize the waterjet system and follow lockout/tagout procedures before disassembling any component for seal replacement .

• Consumable Classification: This lubricant is a maintenance consumable; it must be replenished every time seals are replaced or pump maintenance is performed .

• Storage: Store the lubricant in a clean, cool, dry environment and keep the container sealed when not in use to prevent contamination by abrasive dust or drying out .
