In Reply to: Need a grease that won't go hard and sticky? posted by ffrr on April 13, 2007 at 21:40:22:
The problem is that grease is not one thing, it's two (at least). Grease is made by mixing oil and soap, forming a gel which holds the oil in place. Unfortunately the gel leaks oil leaving the soap behind so it become progressively stiffer and stickier. Light grease uses thin oil and low levels of soap, both of which increase the rate at which the oil leaks from the gel.The best I have seen is Tribolube 13D, a very expensive grease made for aerospace use, obtained for me by JD of Garrard POTD fame. It uses a perfluoroalkane base oil and a fluoroalkane binder so even though the oil does slowly leak out what stays behind is basically teflon jelly. I believe the 2 oz tube cost $15 direct from the manufacturer.
