EASE OF ASSEMBLY / INSERTION FORCE

Precix has developed a full range of washes, dry lubes, and coatings to expedite your O-ring/Seal assembly time while addressing your need to remain cost-competitive. The following graphs illustrate the insertion force and coefficient of friction data with Precix O-rings treated with different washes/assembly aides.

As depicted, the proprietary Precix Velix® I & II washes provide the user with the best of both worlds: low insertion force and coefficient of friction for ease of assembly without the mess and expense of mineral oil and/or PTFE coating. Velix® I and II are ultra-low-cost coating options that will enhance your assembly speed while addressing your need for cost control/reduction.

If the ultimate in  slipperiness is required, consider our Velix® III option, which boasts a coefficient of friction value similar to PTFE without the associated cracking, flaking, and mess. Velix® III is a permanent clear coating that is perfect for applications where frequent opening/closing is the norm, such as oil caps and gas cap seals.

All Velix® treatments are non-flaking, environmentally friendly treatments applied during the washing of the product.
