About Lubricants

Penetrating Lubricants

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

Biodegradable Penetrating Lubricants

Protect equipment while limiting environmental impact. These multipurpose lubricants quickly break down in water. Use them to cut through dirt, grease, and rust, loosen stuck fasteners, and protect equipment.

Food Industry Penetrating Lubricants

For use in food-processing and preparation areas, these thin, multipurpose lubricants are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact.

High-Pressure Food Industry Penetrating Lubricants

Formulated to handle high loads and temperatures, these multipurpose lubricants are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact. Use them in high-pressure applications, such as gears, hinges, ovens, and dryers.

Biodegradable Food Industry Penetrating Lubricants

Protect food-processing and preparation equipment while limiting environmental impact. These multipurpose lubricants are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact and are rated to quickly break down in water.

Penetrating Lubricants for Chain

For use with roller chain and other moving metal parts, these thin lubricants cut through dirt, grease, and rust, withstand heavy loads, and resist wear.

Food Industry Penetrating Lubricants for Chain

For use in food-processing and preparation areas, use these lubricants to cut through dirt, grease, and rust, and to protect chain and other moving metal parts.

Penetrating Lubricants for Wire Rope and Cable

By traveling along individual strands and penetrating to the core of wire rope and cable, these lubricants maximize coverage to prevent rust and reduce wear. They cut through dirt, grease, and rust to protect wire rope and cable.

Extra-Thick Penetrating Lubricants
for Wire Rope and Cable

Spray these lubricants onto wire rope and cable used in vertical or fast-moving applications. They dispense as a thick gel, completely covering wire strands without dripping or running off. Use them to cut through dirt, grease, and rust, and to protect wire rope and cable.

Grease

Use this general purpose grease to lubricate most machinery.

High-Pressure Grease

This grease remains stable and in place under high pressure, heavy loads, and shock loads. It's often used for demanding mining, construction, and automotive applications.

Moisture-Resistant Grease

Formulated to adhere to metal parts and stay in place in wet environments, this grease is commonly used in pulp and paper manufacturing and water management facilities.

Heavy Duty Moisture-Resistant Grease

Waterproof and heat-resistant, this grease can be autoclaved without washing out of equipment. It's chemically inert, so it won't interact with process fluids.

Lanolin

For use on metal parts to prevent corrosion and as an antiseize lubricant. Gauges are often coated in a thin layer of lanolin to move smoothly and maintain their precision.

Chemical-Resistant Grease

For use in applications where acids, bases, oxidizers, and fuels are present.

Food Industry Grease

For use in food-processing and preparation areas, this grease is rated for incidental contact with food.

High-Pressure Food Industry Grease

This grease remains stable and in place under high pressure, heavy loads, and shock loads. It's often used to lubricate heavy-duty food production equipment.

Controlled-Use Food Industry Grease

This grease comes in cartridges that only work with our Controlled-Use Food-Grade Lever-Grip Grease Guns to make sure that the right grease is used in food-processing areas. It is NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact.

Carriage and Guide Rail Grease

Prevent wear and corrosion to keep carriages, guide rails, slides, tracks, and ways fast and accurate.

High-Pressure Carriage and Guide Rail Grease

For use in high-pressure applications, this grease prevents wear and corrosion at loads up to 50,000 psi.

Fine-Movement Carriage and Guide Rail Grease

Micro vibrations caused by surface imperfections on carriage bearings can affect precision. This grease fills in those imperfections so carriages roll smoothly.

High-Speed Carriage and Guide Rail Grease

This grease stands up to the high speeds typically found in automated applications.

Clean Room Carriage and Guide Rail Grease

Highly pure, this grease won't contaminate sensitive environments, so it can be used in clean rooms.

Food Industry Carriage and Guide Rail Grease

Use this grease in areas where there is the possibility of contact with food.

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.

Food Industry Dry-Film Lubricants

Use these NSF registered H1 lubricants in food-processing and preparation areas with a risk of incidental food contact. They form a nonstick film that won't attract contaminants, such as flour.

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.

Permanent Dry-Film Lubricants

Also known as antifriction coatings, these slippery coatings cure to provide permanent lubrication. They're made with moly for high-load applications, such as hinges, gears, and rods. They fill in surface imperfections for a smooth, dry finish that won’t attract dust.

Oil

Resistant to oxidation and heat, use this oil to lubricate a variety of machine tools and equipment. It's also known as turbine oil.

High-Pressure Oil

Use at pressures up to 50,000 psi.

Hydraulic and Way Oil

Use this oil in machines that require the same lubricant for both their hydraulic and way systems. Antiwear and oxidation-resistant additives make it work well with hydraulic systems, while moly gives it the high load-carrying ability required by way systems.

Slide and Way Oil

Formulated to reduce friction and wear, this oil ensures smooth, uniform motion of slides, tracks, and ways.

Powder and Flake Lubricants

High-Pressure Powder Lubricants

Made of 98% moly, this lubricant withstands pressure up to 500,000 psi and has excellent wear resistance. Apply it to metal surfaces to prevent parts from corroding or sticking.

Powder and Flake Lubricants

Made of graphite, these powders and flakes lubricate under heavy loads and high temperatures. They resist most chemicals and conduct heat and electricity. Use them dry or mix with oil and grease.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Powder

Often used in assemblies that rub against each other, this powder blends into plastic, rubber, composites, and lubricants to keep them from sticking.
