IKV TRIBOSTAR SSI 1203 TF possesses an excellent resistance to extreme temperatures, an exceptional resistance to water and steam as well as various chemical agents (acetone, glycol, glycerine, ethyl and methyl alcohol).

It has been approved by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS Approval Number: 1509564) according to British Standard BS 6920 for lubricants suitable for potable water installations. It is tasteless, odourless and non-toxic and remains essentially unaltered at temperatures between -40ºC to +200ºC.

It is also registered by NSF International / Nonfood Compounds Registration Program under Category H1, NSF Registration No. 151908. The product is acceptable for use as a lubricant in contact with potable water to be used within food processing plants.

IKV TRIBOSTAR SSI 1203 TF is ideal for the lubrication and protection of rubber seals or plastic parts within water valves and fittings. It is suitable for potable water applications or as a sealing compound for glass apparatus or other applications within the food industry. It is an excellent dielectric paste for use in electrical connectors, terminals and other applications where a moisture proof seal and lubrication are required. It is generally compatible with most plastics, metals, elastomers and seals generally used with the exception of silicone rubber. It is widely used for the lubrication of taps, valves, mixers, ceramic disks and spindles and threaded stainless steel components.
