Tri-Flow Superior is a light-viscosity PTFE lubricant that maintenance crews reach for on chains, hinges, cables and bearings. Lubri-Loy's interchange list pairs it with Lubri-Gel with PTFE, catalog number 15016.
Lubri-Gel sprays like a penetrating oil and then sets up as a tacky, grease-like coating, which is the difference that matters when you want the lube to stay put.

Why choose 15016
The coating stays where you spray it

Check before you switch
Tri-Flow Superior is a thin, light-viscosity oil. Lubri-Gel sets to a thicker, tacky film. If your part needs a very thin film or must stay clean and dry, test first.
Treat the gel film like a grease when it comes to compatibility: confirm it is acceptable with any grease already in the bearing or joint. Not for use where incidental food contact is possible.
Greases contain thickeners, and it is important to assess thickener compatibility before interchanging or mixing greases. Clean out or purge the old grease as the equipment maker recommends, and ask us if you are unsure.
