The lubricant features a 100 percent silicone, non-petroleum based formula fortified with a high concentration of high-temperature ceramic-solids to deliver excellent performance on all sliding surfaces. The new lubricant will not melt and can handle a wide temperature range from -50˚F to 3,000˚F, the company says.
Permatex says the lubricant lasts longer than ordinary caliper greases and disc brake quiet products. It is 100 percent compatible with internal/external brake rubber and plastic hardware, including ethylene-propylene rubber and metal components. The lubricant can be applied to a backing plate or shim as a noise suppressor, dampening the natural vibration frequencies that cause caliper brake squeal.
Key applications include sleeves, bushings, inboard and outboard pads, disc brake calipers, caliper pins, pistons, and abutment clips.
