Following is the description from the eBay page (personally I use it as Treadmill belt lubricant), it is a lot more cheaper than what other sports equipment shops sell for or even other eBay sellers with smaller packaging. If you read about this brand, in old threads on whirlpool there is mention of strong smell, personally in recent lot I bought from this seller there is no smell.

    Silicone lubricant is definitely a usefull thing, people use it for furniture and door lubrication. Good for anything rubber related (like suspension fork legs on bicycles).
    1 l for 35 though…

    This https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-silicone-spray---400… is $12 for 400 grams. Comes to $30 per litre in a much handier packaging. And that's without supercheap famous 30% off on all promotions.

      Thank you!

      Sprays are not good for everything because sprays are not pure silicone. For example for treadmills recommended it use oil instead of spray.

        Well it is pure silicone in a carrier which evaporates instantly and is chemically inert. I would disregard treadmills requirement for pure silicone as it does not make sense.

      • kapone on 19/08/2021 - 11:59

        What method have you found works best for lubricating treadmills?

        Mine sat outside (but undercover) unused for over a year, and after emptying almost a full can of silicon it's still not entirely smooth

      I think depending on your usage, it'd be better to just grab a silicone oil or grease. Outside of the, sprays are less in terms of weight because it has propellent that is.

      1. A lot of the sprays have solvents in them I found to thin the liquid out (as they need to be sprayed)
      2. Sprays are thin, sometimes having more viscous lubricant is better.
      3. It's hard to find what is in the spray.

      Though 3rd point is probably more to do with my lack of expertise. SDS and MSDS sheets are available for a lot of them, I struggle to use that information to link it to whether it would react with the plastic I have.

      I personally use sillicone oil on fixing fountain pens and such, and I specifically go for sillicone oil and sillicone grease, at least for the modern pens.

      If you are using the spray on something like metal, it probably wouldn't matter too much.
      Once you get paints and plastic, the solvent and what reacts with what starts to become annoying.

    @Musiclover , I think @http404 has a valid point - a significant part of the weight of any spray is the actual propellant. Then you have the solvent/carrier liquid that the silicone is within. My understanding is that different sprays contain a different % of silicone, this info being hard to gather though perhaps it could be found on the technical info sheets for the product.

    I know folks on a forum were stating that the CRC branded product had the highest % of the mainstream available sprays.

    Unsure what the % of the liquid silicone that is actual silicone but the handy thing is that as mentioned sprays aren't always great - as you'll find they tend to go EVERYWHERE and you'll only notice later.

    So if it's a good quality product I'd say it's a decent deal as you can apply with much greater % of it where you want and not where you don't.

      Clearly there are two different Silicone Oils.
      One food grade that does not harm certain rubbers etc., and the other more industrial use.
      It is good to know there are two different products for two different purposes.

  • iridiumstem on 19/08/2021 - 12:47

    I usually grab 100ml from Eckersley's because it's easy to grab them, this definitely is far cheaper.

  • Daniel Plainview on 20/08/2021 - 09:58

    Unsure why the deal is marked as out of stock - as you can presently buy with no issues, just did so myself.

    • iridiumstem on 20/08/2021 - 13:05

      They ran out (I bought one of the last two that were avaialble), I am guessing more stock came.

    • Costco97 on 20/08/2021 - 16:39

      @Nikko, not sure how their stock works. It was OOS yesterday.
