Haynes Lubri-Film sanitary lubricant - 4 oz tube

Helps seal stick water filters. Food Safe and clean.

This is one of those unusual, very function specific that I am happy Amazon carries.I use this lubricant around the rubber gasket of my whole house water filter to prevent leaks. Since the water will come in contact with the gasket, the lubricant used has to be food grade. That is no harmful chemicals that can damage the body. Something that can be safely digested.This is not the kind of product you can locate so easily. Sure, you can find standard gasket lubricant all over but food grade, not so much.This safe lubricant works perfectly. I coat the filter gasket periodically and close the filter. It is easy to spread on the gasket and stays on the gasket after sealed.If someone needs this lubricant for a purpose such as mine, I would highly recommend it, just don't put it on your toothbrush!

This lubricant is essential for the o-ring on the wholehouse filter. I replace the filter every 3 month and put adab on the rubber ring before sealing. The removal of canister is easier and ring lasts for over 10 years versus 3 or 4 replacement filters; as they stretch and lose fitting into rim. Unfortunately the tube of lubricant is the same size but amount in tube of lube is half the amount of what used to be in it for the same price.

If you are looking for a silicone based o-ring lube then this is not the product you are looking for, it will swell and degraded nitrile rubber due to it being petroleum based. The manufacturer does not list it as being safe for use on rubber and what you need for o-rings is silicone grease. Amazon sells Haynes Silicone grease here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CI88AZ4I have used this grease on a large pool filter o-ring and it swelled and elongated the rubber so badly I couldn't re-use it.Same thing happened on a screw top with an o-ring seal, it swelled it and made removal extremely difficult. Get the correct product and you won't be replacing your rings in short order.

Works good

Works great and doesn’t eat up silicone o-rings. One tube is pretty much a lifetime supply and then some.

I bought some other brand while this was in shipment and am comparing the 2: while waiting for this I bought .5 oz. of very overpriced alleged silicone grease at Ace Hardware, which runs like oil and is said to be "food safe" by Ace clerks, but says it is only "90%" silicone on the container and doesn't say what the other 10% is, nor does it say "food safe" on the container or cite any regulatory standards that it meets for being food safe. Needless to say I did not use it to lube any seals in my water system.By comparison, this Haynes "Lubri-Film silicone grease product that I purchased at Amazon is much cheaper (5x cheaper) than the Ace product (or any others for that matter), cites a regulatory standard on the tube, and has the consistency of real silicone grease that I've seen elsewhere, (does not run) and says that it is 100% silicone. It is by far the cheapest I found on the internet or in any local retail hardware stores.

Bought this item to use on my pool parts!Works great!
