Triflow will not harm plastics but Mineral or Sewing oil will harm them.Correct grease for Gears is this pure Silicone with PTFE (Teflon). Teflon adds a silkiness to the grease. Silicone does not damage plastic or nylon gears/ parts, whereas the other greases degrade them.Silicone is not harmful to rubber in case it lands on the belts the others will degrade rubber.Silicone clings to the gears as it is sticky - you want that so grease does not displace and keeps gears lubed.Silicone does not react to heat so it does not degrade or melt away with heat as the others will too.I could have used Triflow Synthetic grease too, but I don't know what is mixed in there and that could degrade some of my nylon gears as in the White Superlock 534W-2 Serger I have. Plastic /Nylon gears or camstacks degrade with age and crack after 10-20 yrs of use so why accelerate the process with corrosive greases, right?After careful research, this is my choice and I feel it is safe for every type of gear. A fine product.Note: Old vintage motors like the Singer 301, Singer 221, 222 Featherweights, etc specifically need this grease mix:Refined White Vaseline (on Bolo)Refined Mineral oil branded as Lily White oil or generic (on Bolo)Use mostly this combination, heavy on Vaseline with a few drops of oil mixed in. Use this only on the motor shaft wicks, soak the felt pad with it and the felt wick sticking out. As the motor turns and generates heat, the Vaseline mix melts and leaches out on the motor shaft, slowly lubricating it. You don't want too much oil near electrical things so this was devised. Genius design! So be sure NOT to use Silicone grease or Triflow Lube on these wicks, only Sew Retro grease or my DIY formula.

5.0 out of 5 stars Car window tracks!

J.C. · February 15, 2025

I have a 2004 Toyota 4runner and recently my 2 front windows would make a horrible squeaking sound when going up and down. Also, to make matters worse, the drivers side window would just slightly come off track and the window would stop itself from rolling all the way up. Needless to say, it's been a real pain in my butt.I replaced both motors and regulators, so I knew that wasn't the problem. I used some dry lube WD-40 which would not only solve the squeaking noise completely, but the drivers side window would not longer want to come off the track. The only problem is the WD-40 dry lube was only for for 2-3 days tops, and then my problem would start all over again.I went back to the drawing board and did more research, which led me to this product. I should have used this from the get go, and saved myself a ton of stress and headaches. I applied it to the rubber tracks on both front windows using a q tip. I was generous with the product, as I'm fed up with having to respray WD-40 all the time. The results have been fantastic. Neither window squeaks at all, and the drivers side window does not want to come off the track anymore!Bottom line, if your car/truck windows are squeaking, or going up and down slowly, this product is exactly what you need! Highly recommend

I bought this when I rebuilt my Jura Impressa Z5. It works GREAT as a lubricant. My machine is working so much better. NSF H1 certification was an important feature for me.

I need food grade grease and this works great. Super price also. All I can say it is what it says it is and I trust it is food grade like it says. I have used it on both of my Iron filters and I have no ill feelings so I know its safe. Well worth the purchase.

It Lubes well

Best value

J. · May 7, 2025

Good value to buy the large pack of silicone grease. Used on an automatic espresso machine. Been a couple months, no issues. Good to have on hand for random project.s

Slippery Stuff

F.C. · March 10, 2025

The stuff is super slippery, I replaced a Moen 1225B Cartridge and followed the suggestions of the wholesaler and added a little of this silicone Lub to the end internal o ring’s and to the external rubber seals before sliding in the new cartridge. The stuff will make removal of the old cartridge in the future much easier, also the operation of the faucet is so much easier even better then the original, almost operates Too freely if you bump the faucet accidentally in the shower, the setting of the water temperature & Flow is changed, have to be cautious.

It does work as expected

Works great on door hinges….should work good on Moen tap cartridge when I replace it.
