Medium Density Ceramic Lubricant

Ceramic Nanoparticles at the Service of Your Mechanics: The Lubricant That Makes a Difference

The Mustang Medium Density Ceramic Lubricant (ref. M-LU01CM) is a technical lubrication solution formulated with ceramic nanoparticles that provide a solid and durable protective layer on contact surfaces. Its medium density makes it a versatile option, suitable for a wide range of mechanical applications where a lubricant with enough body is needed to stay in place without being excessively viscous.

Main Features

• Ceramic nanoparticles: integrate between moving surfaces creating a high-strength protective film.
• Anti-friction additives: reduce friction between parts, contributing to smoother and more efficient operation.
• Wear protection: extends the lifespan of mechanical components subjected to continuous friction.
• Extreme pressure resistance: formulated to withstand high load conditions without degrading.
• High temperature: maintains its lubricating properties even when the mechanical assembly heats up during use.
• Medium density: optimal balance between adhesion and fluidity, ideal for areas where a light lubricant would not stay and a very dense one would hinder movement.

Recommended Applications

This lubricant is designed to protect mechanical components that operate under friction, pressure, or temperature. In the realm of slot racing and competition modelling, it is particularly useful in:

• Rear and front axles, where continuous friction can cause premature wear.
• Bushings and bearings that are not sealed and require external lubrication.
• Gears (crown gears and pinions) that operate under load.
• Any joint or mechanical contact point that needs additional protection against the heat generated during prolonged sessions.

Behaviour and Performance

The presence of ceramic nanoparticles in the formulation is not just a marketing claim: they actively fill micro-irregularities in metal surfaces, resulting in more uniform contact and a real reduction in friction. The result is an assembly that spins more smoothly, generates less heat, and experiences less wear over time.

The medium density of the product ensures that it remains at the application point long enough to do its job, without migrating to sensitive areas such as the braids or guide, where the presence of lubricant could be counterproductive.

Instructions for Use

Shake the container well before each use is a fundamental step with this type of lubricant. Ceramic nanoparticles tend to settle over time, so proper agitation ensures a homogeneous distribution in the mixture and, therefore, effective application. Apply a moderate amount directly to the area to be lubricated and distribute evenly. Avoid excess: with these types of products, less is often more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this lubricant differ from a conventional one?

The main difference lies in the ceramic nanoparticles. A conventional lubricant acts by creating a fluid film between parts. This one, in addition, fills surface micro-irregularities and provides active protection against friction, wear, and extreme pressure, with superior performance under demanding working conditions.

Is it suitable for ball bearings?

It can be used in open or semi-open bearings. For factory-sealed bearings, external lubricant application is usually not necessary, as they come with grease. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for each component.

Why is it important to shake the container before use?

Ceramic nanoparticles have a higher density than the rest of the formulation and tend to settle at the bottom over time. Shaking the container ensures that the particles remain uniformly suspended and that each application contains the correct proportion of active components.

Can I use it on slot crown gears and pinions?

Yes, it is one of its most common applications. Its medium density allows it to adhere well to the gear without easily coming off during rotation, providing continuous protection and reducing tooth wear.

How often should I reapply it?

It depends on the intensity of use and the lubricated component. In preparation sessions or intense competition, it is advisable to check the lubrication state after each session or every few hours of running. In recreational use, the frequency may be lower.
