About Lubricants

About Grease

Penetrating Lubricants

Cut through dirt, grease, and rust, loosen stuck fasteners, and protect tools and equipment with these thin, multipurpose lubricants.

Lubricants with silicone are clear, have excellent moisture resistance, and can be used on most rubber and plastic.

Spray bottles and some lubricants cannot be sold to the listed regions due to regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

LPS

LPS Silicone dries to leave a clear, dry film that protects and lubricates. These silicone lubricants are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact.

Food Industry Seal and O-Ring Grease

This grease meets NSF/ANSI Standard 51 and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 for direct contact with food and NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for use with components that come into contact with drinking water. Formulated with silica thickener and silicone, it resists washing away and has excellent resistance to wear. Apply directly to seals and O-rings to prevent drying and cracking.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 3-4 is between the consistencies of vegetable shortening and frozen yogurt.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range.

Bearing Grease

This grease is wear resistant for use in a wide range of bearing types.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

Grease with lithium thickener offers good heat and moisture resistance.

Grease with moly (molybdenum disulfide) has excellent resistance to wear and can withstand high-load and high-pressure applications. Grease with silicone can be used with most plastic and rubber parts under light loads.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

DuPont Molykote grease withstands high loads and has good wear resistance.

Food Industry Electrical-Insulating Grease

Use this grease in areas where there is the possibility of contact with food. Also known as dielectric grease, it lubricates and protects electrical systems. It resists water and corrosion. This grease can be used on most rubber and plastic.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter. Dielectric strength measures the maximum voltage a grease can withstand without losing its insulating properties. The higher the dielectric strength, the better its quality as an insulator.

Grease that is NSF Registered H1 and grease that meets FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3570 are rated for incidental contact with food. Grease lubricates most efficiently below the maximum temperature. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

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 silicone are clear, have excellent water resistance, and can be used on most rubber and plastic.

DuPont Molykote 557 Silicone Dry Film is often used on blades to keep them sharp longer.

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 silicone have a small amount of silicone for lubricity, but still allow you to paint molded parts without cleaning first.
