Before the application dries, is it possible and/or necessary to polish up the lube to even out the application on the surface of where we are lubricating?
Hi, please note the spray already comes out dry, no need to polish the surface, just spray evenly on the surface.
to raise and lower the glass faster without tweaking does it fit on the side of the tire? If it does not which spray is recommended to me
Hi @Nikoc, did you mean Rubber and not tire? if so yes you can use the PTFE Spray, please revert to the video from 3:07
@@LiquiMolySouthAfrica Good morning, I do not know if you understand what I mean, I want to ask where the glass works In the Horizontal up and down To slide more pleasantly
Can i use this on my treadmill belt?
Hi Fabian, PTFE can be used on belt mechanisms.
What if I breath in the fine particles after the liquid is dried up ??? Is there any form of fine dust from the particles which are probably not particular healthy????
Hi Robert, May be harmful if it enters airways but it's not going to get blown around.
It removes squeakiness without adding oiliness. Got it! 😄Now where do I buy this in Sweden? Is this equivalent to Blaster Dry Lube or WD-40 Specialist Dry PTFE? 🤔
I'd say it's equivalent to WD-40 specialist dry PTFE.
Well, actually, I'd say all three are equivalent. Note how they say "powder" in the video, but it clearly says "Pulver" on the can. I suppose these are synonyms, but this is a key point! It's a term that LIQUI MOLLY uses to describe an oil-free PTFE based lubricant. They all call it different things, but the main ingredient in all of these "no oiliness" and "no runnyness" products is PTFE. That's my main takeaway after doing quite a bit of research. So Blaster uses the term "dry lube", and WD-40 uses the term "dry PTFE". Even though there is nothing "wet" about PTFE that needs drying. It's always dry. That's why it's not running when you spray it on a vertical surface. The wet stuff that comes out when you spray it is a type of cleaning agent that makes sure the surface is clean, so that the "dry" PTFE can have a better effect. There is also a bit of condensation of course, so some of it is just water. But both of these evaporate easily, unlike oil, and only the "dry PTFE" remains. PTFE based lubricants have become a very common type of lubricant in recent years when you want to avoid the drawbacks of oil for some reason. I will name a few advantages. It doesn't run, it's not oily, it doesn't dry out materials like plastics and rubber, and yet it lubricates. It's like magic! Another drawback of oil is the smell! I didn't think of this before. But depending on your application, you may want to avoid the smell of oil. So that's another advantage of PTFE. In fact, what I found while researching this, is that a lot of these spray lubricants do in fact contain PTFE. These companies are literally and figuratively spraying this stuff all over the place, by adding small amounts to many of their products, "for good measure" so to speak. I ended up purchasing WD-40 "Specialist PTFE" just to try it out. Note well, it's not the "Specialist Dry PTFE". So it smells like oil, for it is oil. With just a little bit of PTFE added to it. (This would make it "wet PTFE" I guess.) The spray nozzle alone justifies the rather high price. Just like the LIQUI MOLLY "Pro Line" range, the "Specialist" range from WD-40 can also do the upside-down trick. It also doesn't drip from the valve, like my old CRC 5-56 cans. In fact everyone is making these new spray nozzles, including CRC, but their new cans are harder to find in stores here. I also looked at buying a Würth "PTFE-Spray". This is another oil based lubricant, but with PTFE as an additive. Even though it's not made very clear from the label on the can. So this is same as the "Specialist PTFE" from WD-40. That's why I didn't buy it. Later I found my new favorite! It's half the price of WD-40, it sticks like glue and stays there, and it turns into grease like you would see white grease sprays do, and it's synthetic and friendly to rubbers and plastics, and it contains PTFE. So it's like the best of everything in one can. It's called Presto "Synthetic Adhesive Lube". I think it's meant to be used with cars, but you can use it anywhere where you would need these properties. By the way, after watching this video a second time, I begin to question if it's so wise to use that stuff on your seat belt buckles. You probably don't want your seat belt to easily detach. Anyway! I hope you find this info helpful. So a distinction needs to be made between pure PTFE spray, and a PTFE spray in combination with oil. If you find a Presto can, I say give it a try. The best way to know what works for you is to buy a few different ones and test them. I never did find a store that sells LIQUI MOLLY in Sweden. But I found a store that sells only Würth products. That's another German brand. But they only sell to companies and not to consumers. So I walked out empty-handed and went on to find something better and cheaper: Presto. Yet another German brand from what I can tell. I can recommend it.

how fine are the ptfe particles?
Hi, its difficult to say, as it's comes in a liquid/wet form that turns into powder when sprayed, you can purchase a can and test.
@@LiquiMolySouthAfrica well, i know i can purchase it xD I didnt intend to use it directly at he chain but as an additive to wax since i have trouble finding just the powder. I guess i'll try an email to the headquarter or something. Cheers
What about lock door & door hinge
Yes you can definitely use the PTFE Spray. In case this is an outside door and is exposed to rain, we recommend using the Tacky Lube Spray as it is water resistance and will not wash away.
Has anyone tried using this to waterproof suede leather shoes, i bet it will work?
Hmm...it's not recommended, but you can try and give us feedback 😉
