Description

CONTAINS LITHIUM AND PTFE IN A FULLY SYNTHETIC BASE! HELIMAX-XP Contains Lithium Stearate thickener and sub-micron PTFE for superb lubrication in a light and clean formulation perfect for helicoid service. The fully synthetic base in HELIMAX-XP is compatible with most plastics and rubbers and all metal parts. NO MIGRATION! Migration from oil separation can contaminate aperture blades and more. HELIMAX-XP has a fully synthetic oil base and NO silicones so it has low seepage so it does not migrate and stays in place. BUTTERY SMOOTHNESS! The consistency of HELIMAX-XP is NLGI 1 (National Lubricating Grease Inst. Grade 1), and is like room temperature butter. HELIMAX-XP provides maximum lubrication with minimal drag. It spreads easily, will go where other greases can't, and stay there. Simply put, it goes on smooth and stays where you put it! HELIMAX-XP has a service range of -40ºF to +300ºF (-40ºC to +149ºC). NO ODOR = NO OUTGASSING! HELIMAX-XP is a light grease with virtually no odor and much lower volatility than conventional petroleum oils. Basically, if you can smell it, you are smelling volatile fractions. In optical instruments, even room temperature can cause outgassing of greases with lighter fractions that lead to deposition onto lens elements. LONG SERVICE LIFE! HELIMAX-XP will NOT gum up, thicken up, wax up or harden with long term use. It also protects metal components against corrosion, receiving the highest anti-corrosion test score of "1A." Years and years from now, the HELIMAX-XP you use today will still retain its consistency and lubricating properties!

this is a great product.

    • Lifetime Supply
I only needed a single molecule of grease but this small tub seemed well-reviewed. I'm glad I bought it because now my children and my children's children to the 77th generation will not want for grease.

    • 7 lens and lubed it with LucasOils box store white lithium grease to find out it doesn't work great. Too stiff
I took apart a stiff Zeiss Contax 50mm 1.7 lens and lubed it with LucasOils box store white lithium grease to find out it doesn't work great. Too stiff. Purchased this and relubed the helicoids and it's much better. Maybe not quite as buttery as a brand new Zeiss with factory lube, but pretty darn close, and the action is good. You don't need too much. With the 2oz tub I could have done like 100 of these lenses. Note the factory lube has more of a dry feel while this is more of a wet lube, but not too messy. Would recommend. ... show more

    • It's perfect for the good old manual lenses!
Today i used it to repair my good old minolta md 45mm. I'm very satisfied with the result. It focus-ring turns smooth and very precise. Perfect!

I have a collection of Vintage lenses from Pentax, Minolta, Konica and Yashica. I shoot manual lenses on my Fuji XPro1's and XE2's. I got into the hobby of restoring old lenses and performing CLA, all I can say is this is an appropriate lubricant because it is synthetic and does not gas out (meaning the oil can evaporate and leave a film on the inner lens elements, causing haze, the reason you don't use WD40 as an alternative). It is good for what it is, but can still be a bit thick depending on helicoid tolerance which is different from manufacturer to manufacturer, I use a higher viscosity synthetic oil for other jobs. I bought it directly from the manufacturer and that tub would probably service 2000 lenses....yes, I wrote that right, 2000 lenses, you don't need much per lens. ... show more
