PTFE Based Lubricant Spray
PTFE Based Lubricant Spray
(OP)
Does anyone have any good experience with PTFE based sprays for freeing up siezed valves. Are they better than graphite based penetrating oils or others on the market. I have had a rep in from Interflon who claims good things (but he would I suppose).
Thanks
Thanks

The solid PTFE particles have no wetting or wicking ability, i.e., non-penetrating. But, remain as a lubricant to prevent future seize-ups (if not washed away).
Most penetrating oils are only good as temporary lubricants.

I keep a small bottle of thin Krytox oil around for similar situations. A PAO would also work.

Remaining as a lubricant appears to be the key plus of PTFE
