FAQ's


What is Super Lube?

Super Lube is a patented, multi-purpose synthetic lubricant containing SYNCOLON® (PTFE) particles held in suspension. Super Lube lasts longer and outperforms conventional petroleum-based greases and oils. 

It comes in the form of grease, a 90-140 weight gear oil and a 10W light-weight oil. It is packaged in tubes, grease cartridges, aerosols, bottles, pails, and drums. 


How does Super Lube differ from conventional petroleum-based lubricants?

Super Lube Grease and Oils are exceptionally pure lubricants because they are synthetic. This gives Super Lube very stable and predictable chemical properties.

Petroleum-based machine and gear oils are made from refined crude oil and contain impurities which cannot be removed. These impurities interfere with film strength and wear protection. They also form deposits at high temperatures and solidify at low temperatures. Petroleum-based greases are formulated by adding lithium, calcium or sodium thickeners to petroleum-based oil.


What is so special about SYNCOLON® (PTFE)?

Super Lube products contain SYNCOLON (PTFE). This is the slipperiest surface (lowest coefficient of friction) known to man. The SYNCOLON particles in Super Lube fill surface irregularities by compacting like snowflakes in a snowball to form a smooth, lubricated surface.

SYNCOLON provides improved anti-wear properties, is waterproof, will not wash away with acids or alkalis, and resists temperatures up to 750°F. The SYNCOLON particles in Super Lube's unique patented formula are held in constant suspension ensuring they will always be evenly applied to the lubricated surface.

Super Lube Lightweight Oil does not contain SYNCOLON® (PTFE) because it is not thick enough to hold the particles in suspension. It is important to keep in mind that the synthetic chemistry of Super Lube Lightweight Oil still offers advantages over lightweight petroleum-based oils. Improved wear resistance and the ability to withstand high temperatures and remain free-flowing in low temperatures are maintained. It is an excellent lubricant for dripping and misting applications and as a food-grade chain lubricant.
