Is Keze brand silicone grease o-ring safe for aquariums

[WhispTech]

Been awhile since I have been on here. I just had a quick question if the Keze food grade silicone grease is safe for regreasing my Fluval 106 o-rings and a bit in the impeller. I figured it would be since food safe but just wanting to make sure and have a bit of peace of mind.

Yes no problems, It is food grade and chemically inert.

What about the Moen M6144 Silicone lubricant? I called them and asked if it was food safe but all they could tell me was that it was non toxic and used on faucet cartridges and such. I looked at specification page but no info in the pdf. I emailed them to see if I could get a better answer since the person on the phone kept putting me on hold and asking others before replying to me.

Should be part of every tool kit. Lubricants and grease can be used for ease of installation. Moen's packaging is colour coded by project. Look for Moen packaging in Grey.

Trying to find ones that say food safe but thus far only found one and many of these silicone greases don't tell the ingredients on the packaging.

Don't worry too much about that, I used petroleum jelly for years without any signs of dissolution over years.

I switched to Jack's Formula 327 a couple decades ago, Not because it was safer than petroleum jelly, but because it slips a lot more. None of them is stated as food grade and nothing happened.

Most fine silicone lubricant are 100% PDMS They have a good heat resistance, are absolutely water proof and completely inert.

I mean PDMS is used in cosmetics as much as in industrial lubricants for these properties.

I am assuming PDMS = Polydimethylsiloxane?

When I sent an email to Moen that was one of my questions if it was made with that.

Wonder why they don't list ingredients on these packages. Would make things so much easier.
