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 oil are thin and won’t stain. Lubricants with moly (molybdenum disulfide) withstand high loads and have excellent wear resistance. Lubricants with silicone are clear, have excellent water resistance, and can be used on most rubber and plastic. Lubricants with graphite have good heat and wear resistance. Apply lubricant in a can with an HVLP sprayer. Lubricants with PTFE can be used on most rubber and plastic surfaces. Aerosol can with a flip-up straw has 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 as a spray. 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.

CRC 3-36 Ultra Lite dries out electronic components and dries to form a water-repellent seal.

DuPont Molykote 557 Silicone Dry Film is often used on blades to keep them sharp longer. DuPont Molykote D-321 R Anti-Friction withstands extreme temperatures and is long lasting.

Dri Slide lubricants have good corrosion resistance. Use Dri Slide EP Liquid Grease for extreme-pressure applications, such as with open gears and dies, wire drawing, and stamping.

Lubricants that cannot be sold outside the United States are restricted by product labeling requirements.
