Apiezon waxes are designed for sealing joints of a permanent nature.  Three grades of wax are available, all similar, but with differing degrees of hardness and softening points.  Wax W is used in most applications, but a softer wax is used where it would simplify application or where there may be vibration problems.

APIEZON sealing compound q

Apiezon Sealing Compound  is a putty-like substance used to seal joints and fill holes and gaps on the rotary side of a high vacuum system.  It is suitable for sealing the edges of flat, underground joint in test equipment where parts of the system must be blanked off temporarily.  A further example is the sealing of glass jars to metal plates to produce temporary vacuum enclosures.

All stopcocks and moveable joints in a vacuum system must be satisfactorily lubricated while remaining leak proof. The ideal lubricant for this purpose would have a low vapor pressure and be stable, chemically inert, non-toxic, and easily applied/removed. Apiezon greases have these qualities. A wide range of greases are available for various applications.
