| Is this safe to use anywhere near my airguns (springers)? If so, where? |

I use it on trigger shears, it's very good on sliding surfaces carring load, but not rotating shafts.

What about seals? I found a fresh tub of the stuff in my garage and was wondering if it was safe.
EDIT: I have had to use hoppes 9 to lube the barrel block on my diana 34 after taking the barrel off, I dropped the shims and had to clean/relube them. |

White Lithium Grease is ideal on slow moving parts, by slow I mean not high speed. It will take heavy loading especially on sliding surfaces, the biggest enemy to it is heat.
As for compatibility with seals I wouldn’t have though there was a need to use it anywhere near air gun seals, but on the break barrel hinge it will be ideal, the thing about Lithium grease is that the lithium is used for a thickener to put in oil to make a grease, and the oil can be synthetic or mineral, so with out knowing what the base is I should treat it carefully near seals.

While I don't use it, I have a friend who uses it for his tunes in the powerplant. He's had it in an RWS 34 for 2+ years with no ill effect. I guess, whatever floats your boat. I would strongly recommend using it VERY sparingly in the compression area, if you do decide to use it. I'll continue to use it in automotive apps.
Howdy folks, first post here. |
