Caliper sliding pin boots

To jim beam: If you decide to check out that link, you'll see a link to the
MSDS at the bottom. Do you see any silicone in the MSDS? The chemical names
mean nothing to me.

 

not much! the polyproplyene glycol is a thickening agent - used in
toothpaste among other things. the methylated silica is a bulking agent
the p.g. can bind to. not much room for dimethylpolysiloxane [the
silicone] after that!

 

So then "Sil-Glyde" is more "Glyde" than "Sil". Interesting to know, but
not ultimately of effect on my purchase and use decisions. The stuff is
still excellent. But there was once better....

In my neck of the woods twenty-five years ago there used to be a substance
called "Impac 1000".
It was an extremely effective potion. Unfortunately, efficacy does not
automatically conflate with business success, and Impac 1000 went out of
business. I was therefore forced to fall back on Sil-Glyde.
