HERNON's Dripstop 950 Helps Boeing Achieve Liftoff

April 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Hernon Dripstop 950 is a pipe joint & thread sealant that is highly recommended where oxygen, aggressive chemicals, such as chlorine or powerful oxidizers, are present. It is a high-density inert thread sealant and lubricant, specially formulated for severe high-pressure applications.

This sealant is odorless, non-corrosive and hydrophobic.  It is totally non-migrating and remains where it is applied.  It is ideal for use in repetitive assembly and where dis-assembly is required, even after long periods of time.  It can seal up to 10,000 psi on ¼” NPT threads.
