250 cm3 of Swagelok SWAK sealant. Swagelok SWAK sealants for pipe threads are compatible with a wide range of chemicals, enabling leak-tight sealing in a variety of applications.
Lubricates threads, preventing costly thread damage due to galling and seizing during assembly
Allows low breakaway torque for easy-to-break connections, even after fully cured
Is compatible with a wide range of chemicals
Applies quickly and easily
Clings to threads and will not shred or tear on assembly

Some fluids and materials are NOT compatible with SWAK. While not intended to be a complete list, they include the following:
Plastic pipe or valve components other than PTFE
Halogens
Freon
Pure oxygen
Ozone
Hydrazine
Nitrogen dioxide
High concentrations of strong acids or bases
Food, cosmetic, drug, or water systems for human consumption
Vacuum systems where any hydrocarbon outgassing will affect performance
➀Cure time and sealing are dependent on many variables, such as storage conditions, cleanliness of threads, quality of threads, temperature, materials of construction, proper assembly, specific gravity of system media, and system operating pressures.
