All products are produced in the United States and are available worldwide.P-80 Temporary Rubber Lubricants reduce the friction required for assembly. They provide ergonomic benefits, increase outputs and reduce part rejections. Available in six unique water-based formulas, P-80 is used to assemble hoses, O-rings, seals, bushings, grips, grommets, tires, and many other rubber and plastic parts. Some of the many businesses that rely on P-80 lubricants for their day-to-day operations include the automotive, agricultural equipment, appliance, aerospace, marine, pump, tool, and truck industries. P-80 provides superior lubrication without silicon or petroleum distillates – making it both temporary and compatible with many surfaces. Once dry, the lubrication is gone, resulting in a tight fitting assembly.IPC produces a full line of precision cleaners to remove a broad spectrum of soils from many different surfaces. The line includes biodegradable, alkaline, acidic, neutral and enzymatic products. Our safe and effective precision cleaners meet the highest standards across multiple fields, and are used by the pharmaceutical, medical device, laboratory, filter membrane and wastewater, food and beverage, electronics, and metalworking industries.
