multipurpose grease is just that, multipurpose grease that is specified for lubrication of sliding parts with minimum load and no high temperature areas - they can be used for drum brake "wheel bearings" not the brakes themselves.

silicone grease is available at industrial supply places that also sell to food industry. It is used a lot in factories where rubber parts are subjected to lubrication. In Karachi this was marriot road (Jodia Bazar). Dont know about Lahore, but considering Faisalabad is filled with textile mills - Lahore would have a big industrial supplies market somewhere.

I have been using nlgi 0 dielectric silicone grease on brake sliding pins and suspension parts for about an year now in different applications.. it's amazing the difference it makes !

But where to find it?

got a few relatives in KHI

NLGI 0 is liquid grease. How it can sustain on sliders? I mean it will drip off.

SIr jee as i already told, it is available on brandreth road rehman gali grease and bearing market. It is a huge industrial supply market which serves whole punjab, kpk and azad kashmir.

Silicone grease is available in 1 kg packing imported from uk, usa, spain. Someone from mangla dam was there to buy spanish silicone grease so he was having an open pack with him which i saw. Loose packing is also available but its very bad in quality.

I am onto some other solution and will update all with a good news soon.

the sliders have rubber boots to prevent this. usual brake purpose silicone lube is nlgi1 thickness.

So, in simple words NLGI-0 should not be used.

[Xulfiqar]

it can be used but make sure the slider boots are nice n tight to prevent leakage. I have used such grease with no problems at all.

since NLGI 1 wasn't available, i had to get the NLGI0, thing is, you aren't supposed to fill the boots with this, just a dab or two and you're good to go - and its not like water, it sticks..

Another added benefit to me was the rubber parts can be easily lubed with NLGI0 instead of NLGI1 or 2

yeah, they mostly have good greases for use in bearings only

So, it is silicone lubricating oil (a little thick obviously).

these given characteristics are for ngli0 or ngli1 ?
if its for either, then plz post the specs for other too.
am going to copy/past in my pc for records.

these are of silicone dielectric lubricant with NLGI-0 grading

[mianaasim]

The following is NLGI classification and comparison of each grade with household products of similar consistency.

NLGI number = Appearance = Consistency food analog

---

000 = fluid = cooking oil
00 = semi-fluid = apple sauce
0 = very soft = brown mustard
1 = soft = tomato paste
2 = "normal" grease = peanut butter
3 = firm = vegetable shortening
4 = very firm = frozen yogurt
5 = hard = smooth pate
6 = very hard = cheddar cheese

Common greases are in the range 1 through 3.

NLGI No. of 000 to 1 = used in low viscosity applications. Like gear drives operating at low speeds and open gearing.
NLGI No 0, 1 and 2 = used in highly loaded gearing.

Grades 1 through 4 are often used in rolling contact bearings. Greases with a higher number are firmer, tend to stay in place and are a good choice when leakage is a concern.

The NLGI 6 is a solid brick of grease and is used as a bush or aside a pillow bearing. I have bought it to resell to some industrial consumers in Karachi.

yep you only need a touch of grease on the caliper sliders. Dont need to flood it. - Once a job is done the correct way you will know how long life a service is.

[GoodMan7]

plz check on my behalf. ask for:
1- silicone grease or brake caliper slider grease
2- copper antiszeize grease/solution

Yesterday I read the Kixx's broucher.
Good news is that they have 0.5Kg packing for greese.
But bad news is that its only for NGLI2 & 3. Even I spoken with their representative.

After checking the details on brouchers, I got to know that even their NGLI1 or NGLI0, both of them don't have element like Silicone or copper antiszeize, etc. All of their greese 0,1,2 & 3 have Lithium Thicker. But they clearly mentioned that 2 & 3 can also be used in EP. EP stands for Extreme pressure. Whereas when I checked the Caltex or Sinopec greese, their NGLI2 & 3 are NOT recommended to use in EP.

By the way I'll check with PTT today and will inform if there is any good news.
