Silicone Spray Lubricant

I was confused by all the different non-oil lubricating sprays available, so I purchased a variety and tested them out to compare them against one another. I found that they all have different properties and are best suited for different applications. My testing was simple. I sprayed all the lubricants for an equal amount of time over an equal area of aluminum foil. I then monitored them all over a period of a week indoors at an ambient temperature of around 20C. Then I applied 100 grams of force to each test area and subjectively assessed the amount of reduced friction. (see photos) DuPont Silicone Surface Safe Lubricant. This contains silicone, Teflon, and ceramic boron. It remained fully liquid, thin, and runny even after a week. This seems ideal in situation where you have parts that require a liquid lubricant such as bearings, etc. Best to use this in situations where you would usually use oil, but when you cannot use oil-based products. DuPont Chain-Saver Dry Lubricant. This is a molybdenum and Teflon wax-based lubricant. This remained fully liquid, very thick and waxy after a week. This is formulated for bike chains, and I can see why. Ideal for mechanical parts that must engage and disengage repetitively. Another possible use might be for zippers or similar fasteners. DuPont Multi-Use High-Performance Lubricant. This contains Teflon and silicone. This is essentially a compromise between all the other lubricant sprays. It stays liquid and wet after a week, but is not a lubricating as the others, not as non-stick as the others, and not as friction-reducing as the others. If you can only have one bottle of non-oil lubricant spray, this is a good choice, but it is not the best at any one thing. Basically, like the WD-40 of silicone sprays. Super Lube 91110 Silicone Spray. After a week, leaves a very thin, nearly dry surface, incredibly slippery with the best friction-reducing properties of all the sprays I tried. Wonderful! Also, this is H1 food grade safe (ok for use in equipment used in contact with food). If you need to reduce friction on long rail and track mechanisms with minimal tackiness that might attract dust, this seems ideal! Super Lube 11016 Dri-Film Lubricant. After a week, leaves a dry surface, rather slippery in reducing friction and rather non-stick. This is also H1 food grade safe (ok for use in equipment used in contact with food). If you must have a fully dry film lubricant, this is my favorite! DuPont Non-Stick Dry-Film Lubricant. After a week, leaves a dry opaque white film. Not really slippery or lubricating against friction, but entirely non-stick. Essentially like Teflon PTFE in a can. In situations where you want a non-stick coating like PTFE, but using Teflon tape, etc. is not an option, this seems like an excellent choice.

I buy this all the time. I always have 2 cans in the garage. Great for garage door tracks and any type of movable metal parts, bikes,, tools, hinges, storm windows. This really is a great product

Works well to lube the garage rollers.

It is supposed to be one of the slippery-ist lubricants- which is why I bought it. it is a good lubricant but did not solve the problem I bought it for. I think ANY spray on lubricants- like Dupont teflon- would be just as good and much less expensive. My only grip with this is it was too expensive.

PRO - Excellent spray lubricant that doesn’t give off as many bad odor as most spray lubes do. CON - Know that this spray comes out pretty thin. While a thin consistency is perfect for many applications, try Super Lube in a tube if you need a thicker lubricant that stays in place.

It's a very good lubricant. I use it for the garage door and patio door tracks.

A good silicone spray. Dry.

I bought this product to spray a new wallet to make it easier to adapt to my credit cards but I'm finding that it will lubricate kitchen drawers and anything that you wouldn't want to lubricate risking the attraction of dirt. I definitely recommend it for any lubrication needs around the house! Absolutely satisfied and pleasantly surprised.

Works great on my car windows. They move up and down more effortlessly.

Sehr gut.!!!

Wie beschrieben gerne wieder

I use this to spray down car suspension bushing. Best highest silicon content spray. Highly recommend if you own a Tesla with noise suspension.

Couldn't find anything locally, but this works great to keep my meat grinder in top working condition.
