    Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range.
    Jet-Lube Ezy-Open Liquid—Jet-Lube Ezy-Open is a grease-like liquid that contains detergent and PTFE additives to clean more effectively than grease while it lubricates. Since it is a liquid, it does not have a NLGI viscosity grade, but is less viscous than anything else in our offering.
    Krytox™ 240AC Type III—Chemours Krytox™ 240AC Type III resists most acids, bases, solvents, and fuels, and is long lasting with an indefinite shelf life.
    Krytox™ RFE PFPE LB 8209—Loctite® Krytox™ RFE PFPE LB 8209 handles extreme temperature swings, resists acids, bases, and fuels, and is long lasting. It can be used under high loads.
    Molykote 55 O-Ring Grease—DuPont Molykote 55 O-Ring Grease is silicone-based, so it can be used with most rubbers and plastics. Not recommended for use with silicone rubber, polycarbonate, or ABS.

    Lithium Thickener—Grease with lithium thickener offers good heat and moisture resistance.
    PTFE Thickener—Grease with PTFE thickener has good heat, moisture, and oxidation resistance.
    Silica Thickener—Grease with silica thickener resists washing off and reduces corrosion in wet environments.
    1 NLGI Grade—NLGI 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste.
    2 NLGI Grade—NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.
    Mineral Oil Base—Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease.
    Synthetic Oil Base—Synthetic-oil-based grease lasts longer than mineral-oil-based grease and withstands a wider range of temperatures.
    Molybdenum Disulfide Additive—Grease with molybdenum disulfide has excellent resistance to wear and can withstand high-load and high-pressure applications.
    PTFE Additive—Grease with PTFE has small particles of PTFE that reduce friction and help the grease maintain its lubricity.
    Zinc Alloy Additive—Grease with zinc alloy neutralizes acid and is a good replacement for leaded grease.
    Melting Temperature—Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

    Also known as plumber's lard oil, these light-colored, sulfur-free lubricants won't stain soft metal, such as aluminum or copper. They reduce friction between your cutting tool and workpiece to make cutting cycles faster and easier, improve surface finishes, and extend tool life. Lubricants are chlorine free for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern. Use at full strength.
