PAVE can supply the o-rings dry without any Parker Super O-Lube or barium base Parker O-Lube grease. Most of our products using face-seal o-rings are dry and if an o-ring grease is used on the face seal o-ring, it is so noted on the drawing, otherwise if no grease is noted on the drawing the face seal o-ring is dry. PAVE recommends Apiezon T high vacuum grease for most high vacuum systems where silicone based grease is not acceptable. Where the customer has very sensitive outgassing requirements, please check with the PAVE sales engineer to further assure the proper cleanliness is met by our product for your requirements.
