Again from their web site:

"Diving/Oxygen-Enriched Gases Halocarbon oils and greases have been used in both nitrox and high pressure compressed air systems. Our inert lubricants meet the both ASTM oxygen compatibility standards and the European EN ISO standard for compatibility. Our products can be used safely in all your diving applications and life support systems. In addition, Halocarbon inert lubricants have been used in hyperbaric oxygen chambers."

But what it doesn't say is that it can be used under several ATA of pressure. The way I read what you posted is that it can be used in a compressor. Trace amounts undera couple ATA and all hell can break loose.

Anybody notice section 5?

Thanks. I just check out their website.

However, it doesn't say you can use it inside tank. It seems to me that it is another "Christo Lube" Its MSDS clearly mentioned about a human toxicity as I post above.


Agree that it can be used for the tank or high compressed chamber like a chirstolube. But, we don't know (at least they don't argue) that you can breath it from the high compressed tank.


In the same context, as you know, phosphoric acid(layer) has been used for a rust inhibitor. However, it also has a potential chemical pneumonia effect based on its MSDS. The drinking and breathing is totally different matter, specially in the high pressured bottle.


So, please do some human body pilot test. I would like to hear an affirmative result.


Just my 2 bar.
