They are specifically formulated toprovide temporary lubrication thatmakes rubber easy to install, remove, orotherwise manipulate. P-80'stemporary nature is a result of itschemical composition. The lubricantsprovide a high degree of lubricity whenwet, but because they do not containany silicon or other persistentingredients, once dry the slipping actiongoes away. P-80 products are alsofree of petroleum distillates, so they willnot dry, crack or otherwise harm rubberparts. P-80 is compatible withmost metals, plastics, andnatural and syntheticelastomers.

A biodegradable blend of syntheticesters and water. P-80 Emulsion provides a thin film of lubrication tosignificantly reduce friction.P-80 THIX: A biodegradable, non-drip thixotropic gel that is ideal foroverhead and vertical assembly operations. Provides excellentlubrication.REDUCTION OF beP-80 Grip-it: A quick-drying, water-based surfactant mixture that driestacky to help parts stay in place. Excellent for use on pressure-testedhoses.P-80 RediLube: A biodegradable, low-residue lubricant designed for useon non-porous and coated rubber surfaces. Lubricates well but driesquickly and completely.P-80 Emulsion IFC & P-80 THIX IFC: Have the same lubricatingproperties as P-80 Emulsion and P-80 THIX, but are formulated for useon parts that may come in contact with food.

INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTS CORPORATIONREPRINT SUMMARYJULY 2012International Products Corporation Awarded the 2012 Frost &Sullivan North American Product Leadership AwardThis is a reprint of a research report provided with the permission of Frost & Sullivan’s best practices globalresearch team.SUMMARY: Many industries rely heavily on natural and synthetic rubber for manufacturing purposes.The slip resistant nature of rubber makes it difficult to install, remove or manipulate. The installation ofrubber components can take up considerable time on the assembly line. Improper alignment orinstallation may lead to a reduction in the life-cycle of the component and result in inherent safety issues.Ergonomics and worker safety are also concerns. There are many assembly applications that can benefitfrom reduced friction and increased safety including, but not limited to, the installation of belts, bumpers,seals, gaskets, grommets, bushings, O-rings, tires and hoses.Frost & Sullivan, an independent global research organization, has awarded InternationalProducts Corporation (IPC) the 2012 North American Product Leadership Award in AutomotiveAssembly Lubricants for its line of P-80 Temporary Assembly Lubricants. Frost & Sullivan usedthe following criteria to evaluate P-80 ’s performance versus that of key competitive products: Product Features / Functionality Innovative Element of the Product Product Acceptance in the Marketplace Customer Value Enhancements Product QualityThe results of the study indicated that P-80 ranked highest in every one of the above areas.P-80 Temporary Rubber Lubricants reduce assembly time and part failure, while increasing safety.P-80 can be used to: Reduce installation force Increase production rates Reduce rejects Achieve closer fits Improve product performance Avoid musculoskeletal and slippage related injuriesP-80 Temporary Assembly Lubricants are available from International Products Corporation headquartered in Burlington, New Jersey.
