Super Lube Silicone Lube (PTFE) - 85g

Super Lube Silicone Lubricating Grease with PTFE – 85g

Ultimate Protection & Sound Dampening for Plastics, Rubbers, and Seals

Prevent squeaks, binding, and premature wear on your 3D printer's sensitive plastic and rubber components. Super Lube Silicone Lubricating Grease is a premium, non-curing compound engineered with micro-fine Syncolon (PTFE) powders, packaged in a convenient 85g tube. This specialized grease is formulated to protect surfaces where petroleum-based lubricants could cause swelling or material failure.

Formulated with a pure silicone fluid base, this translucent-white grease is entirely waterproof, moisture-proof, and chemically inert. It forms a thick, highly stable barrier that excels at mechanical sound dampening and ensures that plastic-to-plastic or rubber interfaces slide smoothly without losing structural integrity.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Unrivaled Plastic & Rubber Compatibility: 100% safe for sensitive engineering polymers and elastomers. Will not degrade, dry out, swell, or crack O-rings, rubber gaskets, or plastic motor housings.

• Excellent Sound & Vibration Dampening: The high-viscosity nature of silicone base fluids effectively cushions mechanical components, eliminating unwanted vibration noises and chassis resonance.

• Microscopic PTFE (Syncolon) Barrier: Suspended PTFE micro-powders significantly lower surface friction, allowing plastic-to-plastic sliding channels to glide smoothly with minimal wear.

• Waterproof & Washout Resistant: Impervious to salt water and safe in potable water setups. It creates an absolute moisture barrier that seals out environmental contaminants.

• Thermally Stable Viscosity: Will not dry out, harden, melt, or separate within its wide operating temperature spectrum.

Best Used For in 3D Printing & CNC:

• PTFE Bowden Tubes: Applying a micro-thin layer to the exterior entry points of Bowden tubing allows them to seat effortlessly into pneumatic push-fit connectors.

• Plastic Geartrains & Sliders: Ideal for enclosed plastic reduction gears, linear slide tracks on budget printers, and multi-material alignment units (MMUs).

• Enclosure Seals & Liquid Cooling: Preserves rubber door gaskets on heated chambers and seals internal threads or O-rings on water-cooled hotend loops.

Technical Specifications:

Pro Maintenance Tip:

Do not use silicone grease to lubricate standard high-load steel ball bearings (like those in your X/Y linear rail carriages). Under heavy metal-to-metal contact, silicone fluids lack the film strength required to prevent metal binding. For metal linear rails and shafts, always stick to Super Lube Multi-Purpose Grease or Synthetic Oil. Keep this silicone variant dedicated to plastics, rubbers, and seals!
