New DayLube high performance grease uses nano-ceramic particles that act as sub-microscopic ball bearings to provide continuous lubrication to steel surfaces found on trucks and trailers, according to maker Dayton Progress.
With a much lower coefficient of friction at all temperatures than traditional PTFE greases, chemically inert lube also is environmentally friendly, the company added. It maintains its viscosity across the full temperature range and does not soften or run out; after 100,000 production strokes, it shows no evidence of breaking down. This nano-ceramic lubricating grease provides unparalleled friction reduction and wear resistance, making it ideal for trucks of all sizes and classifications.
According to its maker, DayLube operates in temperature ranges from -40 degrees F to 800 degrees F, and the nano-ceramic particles remain intact to 2,500 degrees F. It survived the ASTME 4-ball weld test with no weld and minimal damage to all ball bearings. Competitive brands, on the other hand, produced a soft weld after two seconds and complete failure and major damage to all bearings, according to the company.
It has high load-bearing properties, a low dielectric constant, does not contain metal or silicone and is resistant to steam, acids, and most chemical products, Dayton Progress added.
DayLube is available in 16-oz. tubes and jars, and 1- and 5-gal. containers.
