Before embarking on your underwater photography adventures, ensure the optimal performance of your equipment with our high-quality O-ring Lubricant. This versatile product is specifically designed for all O-rings, providing a durable and reliable seal that is crucial for the watertight integrity of your underwater camera system.
Our easy-to-use O-ring lubricant, produced by the reputable Ikelite brand, is a silicone-based formula that enhances the elasticity of your O-rings. This elasticity allows the O-ring to shape itself uniformly around the channel, reducing friction and ensuring a flawless seal. Without proper lubrication, your O-rings may not reshape uniformly, compromising the watertight seal and potentially leading to equipment flooding.
This lubricant is not only for underwater camera systems but also for various applications such as underwater housings, breathing apparatus, and any other equipment that utilizes O-rings. It's an essential component in maintaining the health of your O-rings, which are the most critical components of your underwater equipment.
Remember, every time you open your camera to change the film, it's crucial to examine the O-ring and service it if necessary. Clean and lubricate your O-rings after every diving day to ensure their longevity and performance. When in doubt about the sealing capability of an O-ring, it's always safer to discard and replace.
Avoid using sharp or pointed objects to remove an O-ring; instead, use the O-ring remover tool. Also, remember not to over grease. Excessive grease can attract debris that may disrupt the seal and cause flooding. Silicone grease is not a sealant; it only protects the O-ring from abrasion. A perfectly greased O-ring should appear moist and shiny, indicating it's ready to provide a secure seal for your underwater adventures.
