LPS
Description
LPS 2 Lubricant 00216 is a multi-purpose lubricant and penetrant that provides added corrosion protection for metal components. Its light, non-drying oily film displaces moisture while providing ongoing lubrication and helping reduce wear caused by friction and corrosion.
LPS 2 is well suited for aircraft maintenance, MRO, industrial equipment, tools, hardware, and other applications where lubrication, moisture displacement, and corrosion protection are needed in one product. The formula is non-conductive and does not contain chlorinated solvents.
