Coat tight-fitting metal parts, such as gears, clutches, and press-fit assemblies, with these lubricants before sliding them together to make assembly easier. Once assembled, they provide initial lubrication in equipment before oil has a chance to flow.

For hoses and other tight-fitting parts, apply these lubricants to rubber or plastic before assembling and disassembling. After drying, they lose their lubricity, so parts stay together. They leave no residue on assembled parts.
