Helimax-XP Grease for Helicoids - Optical Instrument Grease & Applicator Brush

• HELIMAX-XP is an excellent choice for instruments where cleanliness is required. It is bright white and spreads virtually colourless. An NLGI 1 grade grease built upon a fully synthetic base oil base with Lithium and PTFE thickeners providing maximum lubrication with minimal drag - a formula that is perfect for helicoid service. This premium lubricant contains NO silicones so it has low seepage and therefore does not migrate and stays in place. Has a service temperature of between -40°C to +149°C and has excellent compatibility with plastics and metals.

• This small sized container (see pictures for dimensions) is filled with enough lubricating grease (10g) for several applications. All amounts are measured out using calibrated scientific scales. A FREE application brush is included with all orders !!

• HELIMAX-XP is a light grease with virtually no odour and much lower volatility than conventional petroleum oils. Basically, if you can smell it, you are smelling volatile fractions. In optical instruments, even room temperature can cause outgassing of greases with lighter fractions that lead to deposition onto lens elements.

• VERSATILE AND SAFE FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT... ALL OF IT ! Greases with conventional refined petroleum based oils can affect and degrade plastic components. The fully synthetic oil base in HELIMAX-XP has been designed for use in service with plastic/plastic and plastic/metal contact parts and is compatible with most plastics and rubbers as well as all metal parts. And because of its superior lubricity HELIMAX-XP can also be effectively used with metal-metal contact components.

• NO "CREEPY" SILICONES ! HELIMAX-XP does not contain silicones or polysiloxane oils. Silicone based greases are excellent for many applications, but not as good for fine optical instruments. Helicoids demand a lighter consistency grease, but light silicone based greases do not stay in place as well since the base silicone oil can bleed. In order to get a silicone based grease to so light a consistency as NLGI #1, it needs a higher quantity of polysiloxane oil which tends to separate and bleed more as the percentage of it increases in the grease, and "creeps" or migrates where you do not want it.
