Tufoil Greases
Lightning Grease
Lightning Grease (a jelled version of Tufoil) works where all others fail. Field tests show that Lightning Grease extends the life of crucial machine parts.
Lightning Grease significantly lowers operating temperatures, thereby extending machinery and bearing life. This easily sheared grease is great for applications where low break-out torque, low temperature, stick slip and wear are required.
Use Lightning Grease on:
- fine bearings
- gears
- firearms
- steppers
- servo bearings
- robots
Lightning Grease is also great for old machines. Put a drop on the surface, work the mechanism, and wipe off the excess with a clean tissue. Repeat until the tissue is no longer discolored by dirt and metal debris left by the old lubricant. With just a dab on all the surfaces and old sticky gear boxes, bearings and mechanisms are brought back to life.
Lightning Grease is also excellent for rifle bolts and automatic slide rails as it does not soften and run when the gun gets hot.

High Temperature Spindle Grease
High Temperature Spindle Grease is an odorless lubricant based on colloids of PTFE and soluble Molybdenum.
With no melting point and unlimited shelf life, High Temperature Spindle Grease is stable in excessive heat and will not melt or run even in direct flame.
Use High Temperature Spindle Grease on:
- appliance motors
- dental drills
- brake calipers
- all high speed rotating machinery
High Temperature Spindle Grease is packaged in 1/4 pound, 1/2 pound and one pound containers.
