I was looking for silicone spray yes I saw it on line in dive shops but looking here at home. Ive read a lot of threads but still unclear what something can and cannot contain. I hope at least one of what I got is ok for any of/some/all scuba stuff. I can type out the details from the cans but I hope someone may know of these products or understand lubricant composition and chemicals better. One concern is that everything I could find saying silicone spray had petrochemical components or perhaps Im confused with petroleum based. Am I over concerned about residual chemical breaking down things like BC components and inhalation risks?
If you have a specific item (brand name) you use or know to be ok could you please include what type of resource you find it in such as restaurant or construction and include any specific not use on XXX things.
Couldnt find anything Food Grade specific other than Pam. Used that on a sticky Dry Snorkel and now is gummy as well as sticky, sigh. This was after soaking in vinegar and still sticky. That particular item was expensive and Id like visitors to be able to use it. Sure cant resell it the way it is.
If not ok for scuba stuff Ive got plenty of other places to use it. And I do have Christo-Lube.
2 are SYNCO
Super Lube: Synthetic lubricant with Syncolon (TR) (PTFE) has Heptane that I think is the evaporating with exposure to air solvent for aerosol delivery. Says it is non-toxic anti-corrosive shield that prevents rust and is impervous to salt water.
Super Lube: DRI-FILM Lubricant with Syncolon (TR) (PTFE) has Hexane. Self cleaning lubricant cleans while lubricating, leaving protectant that will not attract dust. Can use on (including) rubber, fabric, vinyl, leather and plastics not under stress. Is USDA authorized H-1 for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.
SNAP (a Penzol/Quaker State) Silicone Spray Has Heptane and petroleum naptha.
Mahalo for the info/thoughts/opinions/ suggestions and while I do not enjoy being bashed, I can take it I think.
