Industrial Grade Lubricant Cleans, Prevents Rust/Corrosion



The L.S. Starrett Company offers M1 Industrial Quality All-Purpose Lubricant, suited for a range of applications including on metal equipment such as rollers, racks, conveyors, chains and metal components found in highly corrosive environments such as marine, general metalworking and more.

M1 is not soluble in water, so it gets under moisture to lift it away from the surface to be protected. Starrett M1 Special Formula Lubricant protects metal against rust and corrosion damage by providing a molecular shield that locks to the metal. The lubricant can be used to protect working surfaces of machinery, in dip tanks to protect production parts in process or apply on tools when stored.

"Starrett M1 Lubricant dries and will not attract dirt, dust or other contaminants as other leading lubricants do," said a company spokesperson. "M1 produces a micro-thin, airtight coating/film that simultaneously dries as it protects, avoiding dirt, grime, etc. that other 'wet' lubricants actually attract. The can will spray upside down in awkward places without losing propellant power."

M1 is free of silicone, allowing it to stand up to extreme temperatures for year-round use, according to the spokesperson. "Its deep-down penetration works quickly to free frozen nuts, bolts and metal parts," said the spokesperson. "It gets under caked-on dirt to clean the metal and remove the dirt. It is excellent for removing grease, tar and grime from metal parts and painted surfaces, cleaning and polishing for lasting protection."

Starrett M1 has instant lubrication properties that spread into those hard-to-reach metal parts to stop squeaking and sticking. It prevents short circuits in high moisture environments, halting electrical leakage from wet ignition wires.

Starrett M1 All-Purpose Lubricant is available in 53-gallon drums, one and five gallon containers and 12 oz aerosol cans.
