Ratchet lube
- Thread starter Hillbilly Joe
- Start date
Tried Lubrimatic gear oil (85w/140), worked. Didn't buy it for this, but since I had it (drips a little at first, then the rest seems to stay on there, even with an opening like the spud type)...
Didn't take this apart though (it just got smoother).

first parragrapph on that MSDS
According to the Synco site;
seems pretty clear.
The MSDS for vaseline with PTFE has no solvent added, so is a boring read.

Not an MSDS sheet any more. They have been switched to SDS sheets.

I'm still not seeing Vaseline and have serious doubts that there is. The "evidence" doesn't support the claim. A little reading indicates that the multipurpose grease products are comprised of synthetic mineral oil with their trademarked teflon additive along with other additives(anti corrosive mostly) and a silica based soap(thickener). An operating range that exceeds 450 degrees fahrenheit which vastly exceeds the temperature at which vaseline liquefies (about 100 degrees fahrenheit). A NLGI certification as well, which also doesn't support the petroleum jelly claim. Exactly what do you guys know that doesn't seem to be public knowledge and how did you come to know it.

I agree with Adam about the grease and oil.
Sorry guys, that was the wrong data sheet.

I guess I don't know the difference between synthetic greases and petroleum based greases. Maybe PB can explain. Just wish we could have these discussions without the passive aggressive snarky posts. I'm just trying to help here. I don't know everything. And I mistakenly posted the wrong spec sheet. Mea culpa.
The point I was trying to make was that whatever that base grease is, it is compatible with petroleum products like WD-40 which contains mineral oil, and 3 in 1 which is mineral oil. Such that: Super Lube works fine if you wash your ratchet guts with WD-40, then oil with some 3 in 1, then just apply the grease as I said earlier. You don't have to use Super Lube OR oil. You can do both. The data sheet clearly indicates mineral oil as an ingredient.
Super Lube is good stuff I use it all the time. Vaseline, tho not technically a grease is a darned handy lubricant. I stole a tiny tube from my wife that's packaged as a lip moisturizer. It's darned handy because you don't have to dip into the little tub and contaminate it. You can squeeze out just I tiny bit. I think I like Super Lube expressly for the tube it comes in.
