About Lubricants

Nano-sized additives fill small surface imperfections, reducing wear and heat to extend the life of both the lubricant and equipment. Cut through dirt, grease, and rust, loosen stuck fasteners, and protect tools and equipment with these thin, multipurpose lubricants. They go on as a foam to cling to parts and resist dripping.

Dry-Film Lubricants

These lubricants go on wet for easy application. Once dry, they form a nonstick film that won't attract dust. Use them for general purpose lubricating in most applications.

Lubricants with boron nitride resist corrosion from salt water and won’t wash off. Lubricants with ceramic are often used in extreme-temperature applications, such as welding, metal processing, and glassmaking. Dilute 1-gallon pail with water before using.

Long-Life Dry-Film Lubricants

Nano-sized additives fill small surface imperfections, reducing wear and heat to extend the life of both the lubricant and equipment. These lubricants dry to form a nonstick film that won’t attract dust. They are often used on hinges, gears, and roller chain.

No-Residue Mold-Release Lubricants

Also known as paintable mold-release lubricants, these lubricants don’t leave a residue, so you can paint or finish the molded part without the need to clean it. Apply them to molds before casting so you can easily remove cast parts and prevent sticking, stretching, and tearing. Lubricants with zinc resist dust and can be used with ceramics.

Electrical Contact Cleaners

Less harsh than general purpose electrical cleaners, these cleaners are suitable for the delicate contacts in electronics and printed circuit boards. Product regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Cleaners that are NSF registered K2 or NSF registered P1 can be used in food-processing environments.

Aerosol cans with a flip-up straw have a straw that’s attached to the nozzle, so it won’t get lost. Raise it for precision dispensing; lower it for storage or to dispense cleaner as a spray.

Electrical Connection Corrosion Inhibitors

Apply to electrical connections such as switches and lugs to prevent corrosion, enhance conductivity, and suppress arcing. These inhibitors protect and lubricate the connection while sealing out liquids and gases.

The compound is easy to apply with the included brush.

General Purpose Electrical Cleaners and Sealants

Aerosol Can

Squeeze Bottle

Designed to be used together to improve the performance of electrical connections, cleaners remove oxidation and corrosion on connections while sealants coat them to prevent oxidation and corrosion.

Cleaners provide long-lasting protection for all metal surfaces. Sealants for metal surfaces protect electrical contacts and connections in high humidity, corrosive, and salty environments. Sealants for gold surfaces improve conductivity and provide lasting protection.
