No. M1®
Industrial Quality All-Purpose Lubricant
The Starrett Company is a leader in precision
measuring tools. We use M1® in our manufacturing areas and it works.
The best lubricant value for your money.
Simultaneously dries as it protects, avoiding dirt, grime, etc., that
other "wet" lubricants actually attract
Sprays upside down
Lubricates: is free of silicone, making it an excellent lubricant. Stands
up to extreme temperatures.
Penetrates: works quickly to free frozen nuts, bolts, and metal parts
Prevents Rust: provides a molecular shield that locks to the metal
Cleans: removes grease, tar, and grime from metal parts and painted surfaces
Stops squeaks
Displaces moisture: gets under moisture to lift it away from the surface
to be protected
Nonconductive: prevents short circuits in high moisture environments,
halts electrical leakage from wet ignition wires
Industrial Applications
Applications for industry are nearly endless. Protect working surfaces
of machinery; use in dip tanks to protect production parts in process,
or apply on tools when stored. M1 is also ideal in highly corrosive situations
that destroy metal equipment used in marine environments.
Universal Applications
Use to dry wet automotive ignition systems. Great on ski bindings and
prevents snow from sticking to shovels. Ideal on sticky drawer slides
and window frames. Removes tar from car bumpers and painted surfaces.
Can also be easily removed to prepare surfaces for painting. Use on tools,
hinges, appliances, guns, knives, bicycles, mowers, fishing gear, locks,
and on and on...
Bulk Containers
Larger size containers of M1 make economical sense. You can also use and
refill the spray dispenser bottle, saving you money and preventing waste
and disposal of empty cans.
