LPS 1 Lubricant 00116, MIL-C-23411A

LPS 1 Lubricant 00116 is a fast-penetrating, greaseless lubricant that displaces moisture and leaves a dry, thin lubricating film. The film resists oil, dust, and dirt buildup, making LPS 1 particularly useful for delicate mechanisms and applications where a heavier oil or grease is undesirable.

LPS 1 is widely used in aviation and other MRO applications for lubricating mechanical and electrical components, loosening rusted or frozen parts, and displacing moisture. The formula is safe on paint, fabric, and most plastics according to the manufacturer.
