I used this same stuff with impressive results. It worked for the whole season. Definitely should've used some more before launching this year
Sail Track Lubricant
- Thread starter shemandr
- Start date
Krytox is the factory recommended lubricant for the convertable hardtop on Mercedes SL and also on Nissan 350Z convertible top. Maybe both manufactures know something about lubricants?
Teflon® is a Dupont trade name and will always be a Dupont invention. However, the Patent Protection wore off and now PTFE is used.
It was accidentally discovered during the Production of Freon®.
The use of Flurocarbons has expanded greatly.
So any use of a lubricant with PTFE is ok, but the newest Krytox® is perhaps the best on the market.
but the key is...
"A Little Dab will Do you"
Thus the Spray would last for years!

If you knew the process you would understand why

I see you have never worked for a Major Corporation or you would see they are NOT a democracy inside the organization.
I get Family discounts...Can you hook us up with a discount?

And we're all part of your SBO family!!!I get Family discounts...
Doesn't capitalism require a democracy? At least at the state level, perhaps not within business organizations.
I believe however in this case, spending more (for the Krytox) likely won't get you any better performance. Sailkote is great stuff and really works well.
Perhaps I should have used the word "usage" instead of "meaning". (shrugs shoulders)
