DuPont™ Silicone - Surface Safe Lubricant Aerosol, 14 oz

I did regret buying this after reading the revues concerning the smell so I first tried it in the garage. It does have an odor but it isn't offensive and everything I lubed now works fantastic. Since didn't smell horrible in the garage I thought I would try it on window track which took some mussel to open and close now it slides like it's on ice, same result on my shower doors. I like this stuff!!

GREAT STUFF, I USE IT ON MY SLIDING GLASS DOORS, PLUS FOR DOOR KEY ENTREES

I have a huge very old case piece taller than I am and 73” long full of large drawers. It once was storage in a local high school chem lab. I use it in my sewing room. The old wood drawers rest and glide on old wood. It was rough getting mist of the drawers open. So, I did a lot of research and Decided to get this Teflon spray. This stuff works where bar soap, wax and all the other things did not.

This stuff is great. I like to do wooden projects and a little shot of silicon makes the moving parts on my saws and table tops smooth without leaving a greasy residue.

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.

We LOVE this product. We use it on our sliding glass doors and our vinyl windows. It works immediately to reduce friction and noise. This is our 3rd time purchasing. Won't buy anything else because the quality is so good!

Excellent
