Liquid Oxygen and Gaseous Oxygen (LOX/GOX) use is critical to any manned flight mission.  Cleaning and Lubrication for LOX/GOX applications is equally important.

Cleaning is an essential process in aircraft production, maintenance and repair to ensure its safe operation. Effective cleaning agents must remove a wide range of contaminants, yet be compatible with a wide range of metals, plastics and elastomers AND still have superb oxygen compatibility.

Novec Engineered Fluids have proven to be highly effective and versatile cleaning solvents: Excellent materials compatibility, Can be used in vapor degreasing, tube flushing, spray cleaning and hand wipe operations, Not hazardous air pollutants, Nonflammable throughout the cleaning and drying process, Non-ozone depleting and low global warming potential.

Novec™ Engineered Fluids are specified or found to meet the requirements for AMS-1526B, Boeing D6-17487, BAC 5750, BAC 5402, ADS 61 PRS, MILSTD 1330 and SAS 0073.

Branson™ Ultrasonic brings over 50 years of made in America Ultrasonic vapor degreasers, and ultrasonic aqueous cleaning systems that are used daily in LOX/GOX and precision cleaning applications.  With systems from Bench-top on up, Branson has a machine for every need, including custom designs.

When Lubrication in the same LOX/GOX hardware or O-rings is needed, Lubrication Technology Inc’s CHRISTO-LUBE® MCG 111 lubricant is the only lubricant where one grade meets all three types under Mil-PRF27617F types I, II and III with temperature operating range of -100°F to +450°F.

More professionals use CHRISTO-LUBE® oxygen compatible lubricants, which were designed specifically for open and closed circuit diving systems. Lubrication Technology, Inc. is an ISO/TS 16949:2002 and ISO 9001:200 company and has been proudly serving Military, Commercial and Recreational divers since 1990.  CHRISTO-LUBE®  oxygen compatible lubricants are stock items.
