bought it to lubricate the o-ring on my nitrox tank after replacing it
Regulator and valve O-rings that are used with enriched air gas mixtures are required to be lubricated with lubricants that meet specific requirements. Using the proper lubricant when diving Nitrox or for oxygen stage bottles is not only important but can be lifesaving. Enriched air nitrox and oxygen use requires a lubrication that is non-carbon based. ChristoLube "129" meets that requirement. This 1/4 fl. oz (7.4ml) screw-cap container is a must for any Nitrox divers save-a-dive-kit.

Would this be equivalent to Christo-Lube 111 or 129?
Allan S
Yes. It's equivalent to 111
DAVID B
Short answer: should be close equivalent to Christo-Lube 111.
Long answer: Christo-Lube 111 is a wide temperature range, perfluoropolyether grease which was developed for use in systems where non-reactivity with harsh chemicals including strong acids and oxidizers, fuels, solvents, etc. is an important factor. The grease is suitable for use in applications including electrical contacts, valves, threads, screws, bearings and in systems employing elastomeric and plastic seals, gaskets and o-rings.
It is more applicable to high pressure applications than Christo-Lube 129 and should be appropriate for Nitrox system.
Not knowing the composition of Nitrox O2-Lube I can't state equivalence, however I would not hesitate to use Christo-Lube 111 in my Nitrox system. I do use Nitrox O2-Lube in my Nitrox system.

129 (static not dynamic lubrication)

I use it for O-rings on NITROX tanks and regulator/inflator hoses. I wouldn't recommend it for regulator service for liability reasons.

Is this the same as Christo-lube 111?
