Dry Lube Spray Solution
B’laster’s new Graphite Dry Lube spray forms a quick-drying film that offers long-wearing protection under extreme pressures and temps (from -100 F to 850 F). This high-performance product bonds to rubber, metal, wood and plastic, and can be used anywhere a dry lubricant is essential. It’s suitable as a general industrial-maintenance lubricant in, among other things, plant machinery and handling equipment, winches, sprockets, die-casting applications and the pre-assembly lubrication of moving parts.

Efficient & Thorough Wire Rope Lubrication
Fluid Defense Systems says that its GREASE SAFE® Wire Rope Lubricator offers fast and effective one-pass lubrication of wire ropes from 5/16” (8mm) to 2 5/8” (67mm) in diameter at speeds up to 3333 feet (1000 meters) per hour. It also provides more thorough results than manual methods by forcing lubricant under high pressure into the core of the rope. The result is a smooth, minimal film on the outer strands and lubricant pushed through to the inner strands, expelling water and other matter in the process.

On-Site Oil-Monitoring In The Palm Of Your Hand
Spectro’s Fluidscan Q1000 is a small, rugged handheld mid-infrared condition-based maintenance mon-itor that protects machinery by determining when a lubricant needs to be changed. The device provides alerts on con-tamination, degradation and cross-contamination at the point of use by measuring key oil-condition parameters in both synthetic and petroleum-based lubricants and fluids. These parameters include TAN, TBN, oxidation, nitration, sulfation, additive depletion, incorrect lubricant, water, glycol, soot and glycerine, and FAME in Biodiesels.
