HYDRO GLISS® GEL: The New Frontier in Pipe Installation – The Innovative Green Gel that Eliminates Friction

By July 23, 2024August 1st, 2024No Comments

Professionals and those who need to replace and install new pipes are constantly seeking innovative solutions to increase speed and improve friction between various components. Managing friction is crucial, especially with plastic pipes that use ring seals, such as those for potable water transport. Excessive force when coupling pipes can cause breaks or deformations, compromising the seal and causing leaks.

Why HYDRO GLISS® GEL?

To solve these problems, it’s useful to employ a solution specifically designed to reduce friction. In the following paragraphs, we will examine the characteristics of Hydro Gliss® Gel, a formulation created by Carima for both professionals and private individuals.

Hydro Gliss® Gel: A Lubricant for Various Applications

Coupling plastic pipes with ring seals can generate resistance, an obstacle that, if not addressed, leads to frustration. Excessive effort in fitting the pipes could damage the closure mechanism, misaligning the rubber seal and compromising the seal. This resistance is due to friction between two solid elements. This is why Hydro Gliss® Gel, a revolutionary product, can make a difference in many situations.

Strengths of Hydro Gliss® Gel

Hydro Gliss® Gel is a biodegradable and non-toxic gel, ideal for pipes with precise diameters. The water-based transparent green gel adheres to surfaces generating friction but is easily washable. This makes it safe for use on potable water pipes, a crucial aspect to avoid contamination.

FAQs about Hydro Gliss® Gel

  • What is an O-ring lubricant used for? An O-ring lubricant eliminates the friction generated between contact surfaces, such as plastic and rubber.
  • How is the O-ring lubricant applied? The lubricant is applied directly to the seal, spreading the product over the entire rubber surface.
  • Can Hydro Gliss® Gel damage the rubber of O-rings or plastic? No, Hydro Gliss® Gel does not interact with either rubber or plastic. It is compatible with these materials.
  • Is Hydro Gliss® Gel suitable for potable water pipes? Yes, Hydro Gliss® Gel is compatible with potable water pipes. Being water-soluble, any residues are eliminated with the first liters of testing.

Conclusion

The introduction of Hydro Gliss® Gel represents a breakthrough in pipe installation, eliminating friction and facilitating the work for both professionals and private individuals. With its unique characteristics and guaranteed safety, Hydro Gliss® Gel confirms itself as the ideal solution for faster and safer operations.
