CONTAINS LITHIUM AND PTFE IN A FULLY SYNTHETIC BASE! HELIMAX-XP Contains Lithium Stearate (Lithium "Soap") and sub-micron PTFE for superb lubrication in a light and clean formulation perfect for helicoid service.
The fully synthetic base in HELIMAX-XPTM is compatible with most plastics and rubbers and all metal parts.
NO MIGRATION! Migration from oil separation can contaminate aperture blades and more. HELIMAX-XPTM has a fully synthetic oil base and NO silicones so it has low seepage so it does not migrate and stays in place.
BUTTERY SMOOTHNESS! The consistency of HELIMAX-XPTM is NLGI 1 (National Lubricating Grease Inst. Grade #1), and is like room temperature butter.
HELIMAX-XPTM provides maximum lubrication with minimal drag. It spreads easily, will go where other greases can't, and stay there. Simply put, it goes on smooth and stays where you put it!
HELIMAX-XPTM has a service range of -40ºF to +300ºF (-40ºC to +149ºC).
NO ODOR = NO OUTGASSING! HELIMAX-XPTM is a light grease with virtually no odor and much lower volatility than conventional petroleum oils. Basically, if you can smell it, you are smelling volatile fractions. In optical instruments, even room temperature can cause outgassing of greases with lighter fractions that lead to deposition onto lens elements.
LONG SERVICE LIFE! HELIMAX-XPTM will NOT gum up, thicken up, wax up or harden with long term use. It also protects metal components against corrosion, receiving the highest anti-corrosion test score of "1A." Years and years from now, the HELIMAX-XPTM you use today will still retain its consistency and lubricating properties!
