BK Bactericidal Pipe Jointing Lubricant

BK Lubricant has been specifically formulated to act as effective lubricant in the jointing of water pipes which require the use of rubber gaskets.  BK Lubricant was tested over three years both mechanically and chemically following requests from the australian water industry for a more effective lubricant in all conditions.

Properties.

• Type tested to AS/NZS 4020. The type testing mentioned relates to the suitability of products coming into contact with water intended for human consumption. BK lubricant is also approved under the Australian Watermark scheme. Licence no. W.103.
   
• The Bactericide contained in the lubricant is effective in stopping growth of bacteria that may have been introduced into the system during the jointing operation. These bacteria would normally form a colony in the joint area, which is very resistant to even high levels of chlorination. Thus continuing infection of the potable water continues.
  BK Lubricant eliminates the problem at the source.
   
• Water soluble emulsion. BK Lubricant is quickly removed from the system when flushing of the system is commenced. BK lubricant does not contain any mineral oil or grease which is known to adversely affect the rubber compounds used in the rubber gaskets.
   
• A very effective rubber lubricant under any load and weather conditions, including wet, hot and dry conditions. BK Lubricant is compatable with most plastics and rubbers but it is recommended that each company carry out their own tests regarding any potential degradation. 40 years of experience has shown that BK lubricant is compatable with most gasket materials.
  Thomas Grozier & Son Pty. Ltd. is an accredited quality company to: ISO9001-2015, licence number WMKA 0419.  
   
• BK Lubricants unique formulation means it is a far more effective lubricant that others currently on the market. The extra lubricity and its ability to withstand difficult weather conditions means that productivity is greatly enhanced. Rolling and therefore incorrectly seated gaskets leading to pipes failing pressure testing, is greatly reduced.

BK Standard Pipe Jointing Lubricant

BK Standard Pipe Jointing Lubricant has been specifically formulated with price in mind to act as an effective lubricant in the jointing of pipes which require the use of rubber gaskets. This lubricant is based on our BK Lubricant which has proven to be very successful. Thomas Grozier & Son Pty. Ltd. has produced similar vegetable based lubricants for some 40 years.

• Approved and type tested to BS6920  (For use with water up to 60°C)
• Manufactured to standard required by BS6920
• Approved and type tested to AS/NZS 4020
• Accredited to Watermark approval of Australia
• WRAS approval .  For use with water up to 60°C

Properties.

• The bactericide used, is effective in stopping the growth of bacteria which can be introduced into the joint while laying the pipes. The bacteria would normally form a colony in the joint which is very resistant to even very high levels of chlorination. By using this lubricant, the potential problem can be eliminated at the source.
   
• Water soluble emulsion. The lubricant is very quickly removed from the pipe systems when flushing of the system is commenced.
   
• Does not have any detrimental effect on the natural or synthetic rubbers used in gasket materials.
   
• A very effective jointing lubricant. Greatly reduces jointing pressure required to make good leak proof joints. Eliminates the problem of rubber rings rolling out of position during jointing.
   
• Thomas Grozier and Son Pty. Ltd., Is an accredited quality company.    AS/NZS ISO 9001.  Licence 419.

• Approved for use with datwyler epdm gaskets supplied with concrete panel Installed by tunnel boring machines TBM'S.                                

• BK Standard Lubricant is used throughout Australia, S.E. Asia, India, Middle East and has proven to be very effective in hot, humid and wet conditions.
   
• BK Standard Lubricant is effective in areas such as water, sewerage, drainage, irrigation and fire control systems. By using this product, it ensures consistent high quality jointing is achieved as opposed to using any grease which may effect the life of the rubber gasket or not allow correct positioning of the gasket resulting in failures during pressure testing. Using the correct lubricant in every joint, results in far greater productivity and a far higher and predictable standard of jointing. For excellent results always use our range of pipe jointing lubricants.
   

Application and flushing instructions.

Before inserting gasket, ensure that all foreign matter has been removed to ensure that the gasket seat is clean.  Use the lubricant to cover the chamfer and 25mm of the barrel. Lubricate the exposed face of the gasket ensuring that no lubricant gets between the gasket and socket.  Apply by gloved hand, stiff brush, spatula or cloth.

Flushing must be done with contents removed completely with thorough cleaning before final testing and putting the line back into service. NB. Flush to local authorities requirements if they require a more rigorous procedure.

Standard Pipe Jointing Lubricant

Standard Jointing Lubricant has been specifically formulated, with price in mind to act as an effective lubricant in the jointing of pipes which require the use of rubber gaskets. This lubricant is based on our BK Lubricant which has superior load bearing and hot and wet weather properties. Thomas Grozier & Son Pty. Ltd. has produced similar lubricants for some 30 years.

Properties:

• Water soluble emulsion. The lubricant is quickly removed from pipe systems when flushing of the system is commenced.
   
• Does not have any detrimental effect on the natural or synthetic rubbers used in gasket materials.
   
• A very effective jointing lubricant.
   
• Thomas Grozier is an accredited quality company to ISO 9001-2015.
  Licence number 419.
    
• Due to the lower cost, standard lubricant becomes cost effective even in areas
   

Where very high levels of water quality are not required such as sewerage and irrigation. By using this product it ensures a consistent high quality of jointing is achieved as opposed to using any grease which may effect the rubber rings or not allow the correct positioning of the gasket resulting in failure of the joint during pressure testing. Using the correct lubricant in every joint results in far greater productivity and a far higher and predicable standard of jointing.
