Choosing lubricants, sealants and cleaning products

Site consumables rarely get much attention, but having the right spray or sealant to hand can turn a stubborn job into a quick one and leave a professional finish.

What each product type is for

Penetrating oil – frees seized bolts, nuts, threads and fixings by creeping into corrosion; allow time to soak before applying force.
Cutting and tapping fluid – lubricates and cools drill bits, taps and holesaws when cutting metal, extending tool life and improving finish.
Cleaners and foaming sprays – remove grease, dirt and residue from surfaces, tools and equipment housings.
Adhesive sealants – bond and seal in one, for weatherproofing around fittings and fixing trims; available in clear, white and black to suit the finish.
Expanding foam – fills gaps and voids around pipes and cable entries; check whether a fire-rated product is required.
Superglue and wipes – quick repairs and fast hand and tool cleaning on site.

Using products safely around electrical equipment

Isolate equipment before spraying any solvent, oil or cleaner near it, and allow products to dry or evaporate fully before re-energising. Check that sealants and cleaners are compatible with cable sheaths and plastics; some solvents can attack PVC. Read the product data and safety data sheet, ensure good ventilation and observe any flammability warnings.

Fire-stopping and penetrations

Standard expanding foam and sealants are not necessarily fire-rated. Where cables pass through fire-resisting walls or floors, use appropriate fire-stopping products and follow current building and wiring regulations. See fire protection accessories and cable adhesives and sealants, and browse the wider hardware range.

FAQ's Ask Your Own Question

What is cutting and tapping fluid used for?: Cutting and tapping fluid lubricates and cools the cutting edge when drilling, tapping or holesawing metal, reducing friction and heat. This extends the life of drill bits, taps and holesaws and gives a cleaner hole or thread. Apply a small amount to the cutting area before and during the cut, as with Olympic Fixings CT-90.
How do I free a seized bolt with penetrating oil?: Clean off loose dirt, spray penetrating oil such as Tec7 GT onto the thread and joint, and leave it to soak for several minutes, or longer for heavy corrosion. Tapping the bolt head lightly can help the oil penetrate. Then use a correctly sized spanner or socket, applying steady force rather than jerking to avoid shearing the bolt.
Is expanding foam fire-rated?: Standard PUR expanding foam is generally not fire-rated and should not be used to seal penetrations through fire-resisting walls or floors unless the product is specifically certified for that purpose. Use a tested fire-stopping foam, sealant or collar instead. Check the product data sheet and current building regulations for fire-stopping requirements.
Can I use sealant on electrical enclosures?: Adhesive sealants can be used to seal around the outside of fixings, trims and building penetrations, but check the enclosure manufacturer's instructions before applying anything to gaskets or entries, as this can affect the IP rating or void approvals. Use proper glands and grommets for cable entries. Make sure the sealant is compatible with the enclosure plastic.
Is it safe to spray cleaner on electrical equipment?: Only spray cleaners on electrical equipment once it is isolated, and use a product suitable for the materials involved. Many aerosol cleaners are flammable, so let them evaporate fully and ventilate the area before re-energising. Avoid soaking terminals or electronics unless the cleaner is designed for that purpose, and always follow the safety data sheet.
Can I add sprays and sealants to my next-day order?: Yes, in-stock lubricants, sealants and cleaners can be added to any order and delivered the next working day across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland when ordered by 5pm Monday to Friday. Some aerosols may have carriage restrictions to certain areas, so call 028 8675 1515 if you have a query about delivery.
