Oxygen safe lube

[Couv]

Hello All,

At my request, I was recently sent a free sample of Tribolube 71 from Aerospace Lubicants compliments of Dave Lodwick (Tribolube71). As it happens, I was going to rebuild one of my second stages so I decided to do a side by side comparison with the Christo-lube. Please note that I am not an engineer; I'm just a do-it-yourself guy with a background in aviation maintenance. My only knowledge of lubricants is from using them and reading the data sheets made available online, etc.

The information I received with the sample indicates that it is O2 compatible up to 100% and the temp range is good down into the cryogenic range and up to +280 deg C.

The new kid looks, feel, smells ( I omitted the taste test) almost exactly like Christo-lube except the 71 seemed to be slightly more viscous. Also, I placed a pea sized amount of each on a piece of cardboard and the 71 seem to bleed less oil out of the test sample. Perhaps we can get a tribologist (handy word I just picked up while researching lubricants) to explain why this happens and what the implications are.

At any rate, I think this lube is a welcome addition to the O2 friendly lube family (Krytox, Christo-lube 111 and 116, Bracote 806, Fomblin) we use on diving equipment as it seems to to the same job for a considerably lower price.

I'm still not finding the Tribolube product online distributors. My tube of Christolube MCG111 is starting to run low (after only 10 years) and I was hoping to try the tribolube equivalent to MCG129 which I believe is a little heavier than the 111. I thought I saw something that suggested that Scubapro is using the heavier stuff in both static and dynamic applications.

Try Tech Dive Limited in Canada. Also Phil Ellis has it. I can't recall what Phil's store name is at the moment.

I think this Tribolube is good stuff. It's not supposed to get like cookie dough over time like Christo-lube does. That alone makes using it a no-brainier to me.

I also plan on using it ( or trying it ) as gun lube. It won't take much so cost isn't much of a factor.

Scuba Pro is in fact using MCG 129 for both Static and Dynamic... for the moment I will be meeting with them (Harry Ward and Rene')
at DEMA. Hoping they will after testing the TRIBOLUBE 66 see the same results I already know they will.
By the way TRIBOLUBE 71 is the better choice for this and all diving applications.

If it doesn't come in, I think we know who to yell at!

I just put up a hot deal on the Tribolube-71 O2 safe grease. Take a look.

Woo...hoo...I want commission. ;-)

p.s. In your Tribolube add, you misspelled Christo-Lube; but I won't tell anyone.

Thanks for making this available.
