Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread

[PaladinNO]

i like nyogel 760g as well, but you could give Krytox a try.

And speaking of overpriced...

I really hope that one comes in different versions. I googled the name, and the first hit with a local price was "KRYTOX-XHT-BDZ-T 227GR" at equivalent of ~1000 USD. ^^

Perhaps you want to check the quantity...

Regular SuperLube synthetic grease is NOT Silicone based. In the Technical Data Sheet (linked here, and attached) it states 'There is no Silicone in Super Lube® Multi-Purpose Grease with Syncolon® (PTFE)'.

There is also a compatibility chart (also linked and attached) which indicates that the compatibility is 'Excellent' with Nitrile (aka Buna-N) and Neoprene, but only 'Good' with silicone. So perhaps there is an ingredient which is less than ideal for silicone, I'm not sure what to make of that.

Note that Super Lube makes multiple types of grease, including a silicone grease (which of course is NOT compatible with silicone). But their synthetic grease, which is their most common / standard product, is not silicone based.

I have been using the Super Lube O Ring lubricant. So far. So good.

227 gram / 8 oz. I have no idea what I found. ^^
Without specifications or a product link, I think I'll stick to Nyogel 760G

Googled a bit more, and it was apparently this:
"KRYTOX XHT-BDZ Extreme High Temperature Grease, NLGI Grade 2, Tube, 8 oz."
