Permatex Ultra Disc Brake Lube 5oz Silicone Brake Caliper Grease PERM85188
Permatex Ultra Disc Brake Lube 5oz Silicone Brake Caliper Grease PERM85188
Permatex Ultra Disc Brake Lube (PERM85188) is a 100% silicone lubricant designed for use with disc brake systems to help provide proper function under adverse conditions. It lubricates critical metal-to-metal contact areas on brake hardware, helping to eliminate brake squealing and prevent the seizing and sticking of disc brake components. Because it is made from 100% silicone, it stays effective at the metal-to-metal wear points where standard grease can break down or wash out.
This brake lubricant is ideal for caliper pins, hardware, and the back side of brake pads, keeping these contact points moving freely so the caliper can float and retract as designed. It comes in a 5oz size and is formulated to be environmentally friendly while still delivering the lubrication needed for quiet, consistent brake performance.
