Soudal Dry Lubricant harnesses modern dry-film technology to deliver low-friction performance wherever conventional oils or silicone sprays would attract dust, stain substrates, or compromise downstream finishing. On application, it forms a thin, even, dry-to-touch film that fills microscopic surface irregularities and creates a smooth sliding interface. Non-greasy and non-staining, it enables quiet, effortless motion while keeping assemblies visibly clean, ideal for interior mechanisms, precision guides, and components finished in timber, plastics, or painted metals.
Engineered for durability, the protective layer resists wear and maintains stable, low-friction performance over extended service intervals, even in dusty environments where wet lubricants quickly load with debris. By reducing stiction and running friction, it improves positional accuracy on slides and rails, eliminates squeaks and stick-slip on door furniture, and lowers operating effort across locks, hinges, and latches. Its clean, silicone-free nature supports fault-free production and maintenance in areas where contamination must be avoided, including paint shops, composite lay-up, printing, and bonding operations.
Versatility is built in. The formulation is compatible with common engineering substrates, steel and non-ferrous metals, engineering plastics, and elastomers, making it well suited to mixed assemblies where contact with seals, gaskets, or polymer housings is unavoidable. Performing reliably under low and medium loads, it provides the right balance of glide and protection for seat runners, window tilt mechanisms, drawer slides, linear rails, and light bearings. Used outdoors, the dry film helps resist dust pick-up and reduces dirt adhesion, supporting easier cleaning and consistent motion.
Practicality is enhanced by a 360° aerosol that operates inverted, horizontal, or upright, giving accurate access inside housings, overhead tracks, and recessed fittings. A focused spray pattern targets narrow rails and small mechanisms, while broader wetting treats larger guides or chutes with ease. Free from silicone and mineral oil, Soudal Dry Lubricant also excels as a clean assembly aid and a light release agent on machinery used in the wood and plastics industries, improving throughput without leaving greasy residues.
Silicone-Free, Mineral-Oil-Free Formulation: Delivers clean, professional lubrication without silicone or mineral oil, avoiding finish defects, fisheyes and contamination risks in painting, printing and bonding environments. Ideal for bodyshops, composite lay-up, and other controlled processes where silicone carry-over would compromise coating adhesion or surface quality.
Clean, Dry, Non-Staining Film: Forms a transparent, dry-to-touch layer that will not mark timber, plastics or painted metal, keeping mechanisms and surrounding finishes visibly clean. The non-greasy film resists smearing and fingerprints, so visible hardware and interior components retain a neat, professional appearance.
High Resistance, Lasting Wear Protection: Creates a durable protective film that resists wear under low to medium loads, extending service intervals and preserving component life. The stable dry film maintains performance over repeated cycles, supporting consistent motion in guides, rails and light bearings.
Reduces Friction And Noise: Minimises stiction and running friction to achieve smoother motion, quieter operation and easier adjustment on slides, guides and fittings. By limiting stick–slip, it improves positional accuracy on linear mechanisms and reduces effort on frequently operated parts.
Resists Dust And Dirt Build-Up: Dry film sheds debris that would otherwise bind to wet lubricants, maintaining consistent performance in dusty indoor spaces and outdoor environments. Reduced dirt pick-up also makes subsequent cleaning faster and helps prevent abrasive wear from embedded particles.
Multi-Material Compatibility: Suitable for metals, plastics and rubbers commonly found together in modern assemblies, simplifying maintenance across mixed substrates. Safe to use around elastomer seals and polymer housings where conventional oils might swell materials or leave staining residues.
Dual-Use: Lubricant And Release Agent: Acts as a clean light-duty release on chutes, guides and tooling in wood and plastics processing, while providing reliable glide on mechanical interfaces. The non-transfer, non-oily film supports smoother part ejection and minimises drag on contact surfaces.
360° Any-Angle Aerosol: Enables accurate, controlled application in any position for access to recessed tracks, overhead rails and enclosed housings. The focused jet allows precise dosing onto narrow interfaces, reducing overspray and the need for time-consuming masking or disassembly.
Indoor/Outdoor Reliability: Performs in workshops, vehicles, facilities and site environments, supporting year-round maintenance with a residue-free finish. The clean, dry film is less susceptible to wash-off and contamination than wet oils, helping mechanisms operate consistently between services.
Helps Clean As It Lubricates: Assists in lifting light dirt and traces of old grease during application, leaving a neat, functional surface ready for service. This “clean-and-lube” action streamlines routine maintenance by reducing the number of separate products and steps required.
Sliding Roof And Seat Rails: Provides a dry, low-friction film that improves glide, reduces noise and avoids oil transfer onto trim and upholstery in vehicle interiors. Ideal where a clean, non-staining lubricant is essential to preserve textile and leather finishes.
Sliding Doors And Window Tilt Mechanisms: Restores smooth travel on tracks and pivots without attracting dust, keeping domestic and commercial systems operating quietly. Particularly useful on aluminium and PVCu assemblies where oily residues would mark frames or collect grime.
Locks, Hinges And Latches: Reduces stiction and squeaks on door furniture and cabinetry fittings while maintaining a clean appearance around high-touch areas. The residue-free film prevents drips on decorative surfaces and helps mechanisms operate freely in daily use.
Drawers, Guide Rails And Linear Slides: Enhances positional accuracy and feel on furniture runners, machine guides and instrument slides without wet residues. Reduced drag supports lighter actuation forces and more precise movement in delicate assemblies.
Ball Bearings And Small Mechanisms: Offers light, clean lubrication for small bearings and mechanisms under low/medium loads where oil-free operation is required. Helps prevent dust-laden grease build-up that can cause premature wear in fine mechanisms.
Electrical Parts (De-Energised): Provides a dry glide for non-live electrical housings, sliders and adjustment mechanisms where oily films would be problematic. The clean coating aids smooth movement while reducing the risk of dust accumulation around sensitive components.
Wood And Plastics Industry Tooling: Acts as a clean release/anti-stick on chutes, saw tables, push fences and mould handling where silicone products are unacceptable. Helps workpieces slide freely, supporting faster throughput and reducing surface marring.
Conveyor Guides And Packaging Lines: Reduces friction on guides and rails, limiting dust pick-up and keeping product contact zones cleaner. Useful where a low-residue, non-staining lubricant is preferred to avoid contaminating packaged goods or labelling surfaces.
Read the label and safety data sheet before use. Apply Soudal Dry Lubricant only in well-ventilated areas and keep away from ignition sources, hot surfaces and open flames. Avoid inhalation of spray or vapour and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection, particularly when working overhead or inside enclosures.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice if irritation persists. Switch off and isolate electrical or electronic equipment before treatment and do not restore power until the product has fully evaporated and the area has been thoroughly aerated. Respect all precautions for use printed on the packaging.
Soudal Dry Lubricant is suitable for metals, wood and plastics, and can also be used in contact with many rubbers for low to medium load mechanisms. It is designed for dry lubrication of friction points where a clean, non-staining, residue-free film is required, for example on sliding roof and seat rails, sliding doors, window tilt mechanisms, locks, hinges, drawers, guide rails, light bearings and de-energised electrical parts.
On sensitive plastics, freshly coated surfaces and unfinished timbers, carry out a small compatibility test on an inconspicuous area before full application.
For best results the surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dust, grease and loose contamination so the dry film can wet out uniformly.
Wipe away loose dirt with a lint-free cloth and, where necessary, degrease heavily soiled areas so the lubricant can contact the substrate directly. If treating mechanisms, operate them once to expose the working faces and ensure access for the spray.
Shake the can well before use to re-suspend the active solids. Hold the nozzle at approximately 20cm from the target and apply a thin, even layer to the friction points or joints, moving the spray in smooth, overlapping passes to avoid local over-application.
For precise work in confined areas, use light, short bursts and allow the film to level naturally. When treating hinges, locks and small mechanisms, present the nozzle close to the moving interface, operate the mechanism several times to draw the product into contact faces and re-apply sparingly if required.
The aerosol functions in any orientation (360°), enabling access inside housings, overhead tracks and recessed guides. Avoid flooding porous or highly absorbent materials and prevent overspray onto surfaces that will be painted or bonded.
A thin application forms a functional dry film in approximately 1–2mins at normal room conditions. Thicker applications typically dry in around 5mins.
Drying depends on film thickness, temperature, airflow and humidity; cooler or more humid environments will extend these times. Always allow complete evaporation before re-energising electrical equipment or placing components into service.
After application, wipe away any overspray or surplus material with a clean, lint-free cloth to minimise dust pick-up on surrounding surfaces. If removal is required from areas intended for subsequent painting or bonding, use an appropriate solvent cleaner compatible with the substrate, then wash with a mild detergent and allow to dry.
Keep the actuator and any extension tube clean so the spray pattern remains accurate for future use. Wash hands after work and dispose of used wipes in accordance with local regulations.
Basis is a mixture based on PTFE and solvents with a fluid consistency. Recommended application temperature is 5°C→35°C. Soudal Dry Lubricant is silicone-free and mineral-oil-free, developed specifically for applications where silicone contamination or oily residues are undesirable.
Performance depends on substrate condition and application technique; users should verify suitability via a small trial and adopt safe systems of work appropriate to the task and environment.
A) Soudal Dry Lubricant is a powerful, silicone-free and mineral-oil-free dry-film lubricant that lays down a clean, non-staining, low-friction coating to protect and free moving parts. Unlike wet oils and greases that can attract dust and mark surrounding finishes, the dry film left by Soudal Dry Lubricant is transparent and dry to the touch, so mechanisms stay cleaner for longer and look professional in use. It is designed for low to medium load interfaces on metals, plastics and rubbers, making it ideal for sliding roof and seat rails, sliding doors, window tilt systems, locks, hinges, drawers, guide rails, light bearings and delicate adjustments. The formulation also helps lift light dirt and traces of old grease during application, simplifying routine “clean-and-lube” tasks. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, it performs wherever a residue-free finish is preferred, particularly in places where silicone products would risk contamination of later painting, bonding or printing processes. The 360° aerosol works at any angle, giving precise access inside housings, overhead tracks and tight recesses without dismantling.
A) Soudal Dry Lubricant deposits a thin, even, dry-to-touch film that levels into microscopic surface irregularities and creates a stable low-friction interface. This reduces stiction at start-up, cuts running friction and quietens movement, so mechanisms operate smoothly with less effort and wear. Because the film is non-greasy, it resists dust and dirt pick-up far better than wet oils, maintaining consistent performance in interiors, dusty workshops and outdoor environments. The clean coating is non-staining on plastics, painted metals and timber, so it preserves the appearance of visible hardware and trims. Being silicone-free and mineral-oil-free, Soudal Dry Lubricant avoids the finish defects, fisheyes and adhesion issues associated with silicone carry-over or oily residues, which is critical in paint shops, composite lay-up, printing and bonding. In practice you gain smoother motion and lasting protection without the mess, dust loading or finishing risks commonly introduced by conventional lubricants.
A) Soudal Dry Lubricant excels on low to medium duty sliding and pivoting interfaces that must stay clean: seat and sunroof rails, sliding doors, window tilt mechanisms, drawer runners, linear guides, ball slides, locks, hinges and latches all benefit from its dry, low-friction film. In vehicles it improves glide without transferring oil to upholstery or trim; in buildings it restores smooth travel on aluminium and PVCu systems without attracting dirt to frames. Around machines it serves on guide rails, jigs and small mechanisms where a residue-free finish is vital near product contact zones. It is equally useful on de-energised electrical housings and adjustment sliders, where oily films would trap dust around sensitive components. Outdoors it helps mechanisms resist dust adhesion and stay consistent between services. Because it is silicone-free, it can be used near areas that will later be painted or bonded, reducing the risk of finishing defects caused by silicone contamination from general-purpose sprays.
A) Soudal Dry Lubricant is formulated for broad compatibility with common engineering metals, plastics and elastomers found together in modern assemblies. It can be used on steel and non-ferrous metals, engineering plastics and many rubbers without causing swelling, staining or residue transfer when applied correctly as a thin, even film. That said, substrates vary, and decorative finishes or freshly coated surfaces may be more sensitive, so a small, inconspicuous test is sensible where appearance or critical tolerances matter. On unfinished timbers or very porous materials, apply sparingly and wipe excess to avoid unnecessary absorption. The product is designed for low to medium load mechanisms; for heavily loaded bearings or gearboxes use the specified grease or oil. When treating assemblies that include seals and polymer housings, Soudal Dry Lubricant provides clean glide without the softening or marking sometimes associated with mineral oils or silicone-based sprays.
A) Many workshops, bodyshops and production areas impose strict controls on silicone and oily residues because even minute carry-over can cause paint cratering, bonding failures or printing defects. Soudal Dry Lubricant is both silicone-free and mineral-oil-free, so it delivers lubrication without jeopardising downstream finishing. This makes it the smart choice near paint booths, composite lay-up benches, adhesive bonding stations and packaging lines where cleanliness and adhesion are paramount. The dry, non-staining film also keeps visible mechanisms and trims looking clean, an advantage in interiors and client-facing spaces where oily smears are unacceptable. In short, you gain the friction reduction and wear protection you need while avoiding the contamination risks associated with silicone sprays and conventional oils, protecting both process quality and presentation.
A) Yes, these are core applications. Soudal Dry Lubricant creates a clean, low-friction track on roof and seat rails so movement is smoother, quieter and less prone to stick-slip, with no risk of oil transfer to fabrics or headliners. On sliding doors and window tilt mechanisms it restores easy travel while resisting dirt build-up that would otherwise clog channels and rollers. Because the film is dry-to-touch and non-staining, it is well suited to aluminium and PVCu assemblies where oily residues can mark frames and attract grime. Apply a thin, even film along the rails, operate the mechanism a few times to distribute, and wipe off any surplus from non-contact areas. With periodic light re-applications, these systems maintain a consistent feel and require less cleaning than when lubricated with wet oils.
A) Preparation is simple and pays dividends. Ensure friction faces are clean, dry and free from loose dust, grit and heavy contamination so the dry film can wet out uniformly. Wipe away debris with a lint-free cloth; where old grease or stubborn grime is present, degrease and allow to dry. If treating a mechanism, cycle it once to expose the working faces and confirm access for the spray. Mask adjacent surfaces that must later be painted or bonded to avoid unwanted transfer. On delicate plastics and finishes, a quick spot test will confirm compatibility. With a clean substrate and clear access, Soudal Dry Lubricant forms an even film at the true point of contact, delivering longer-lasting, cleaner glide and reducing the need for frequent rework.
A) Shake the can well to re-suspend the active solids. Hold the nozzle about 20 cm from the target and apply a thin, even layer in smooth, overlapping passes,aim for a light, continuous film rather than wetting the surface. For precise work, use short bursts via the extension tube and allow the coating to level naturally. On hinges, locks and small mechanisms, present the nozzle close to the moving interface, operate the part several times to draw the lubricant into contact faces, then re-apply sparingly if needed. The aerosol functions at any angle (360°), so you can reach overhead tracks, recessed guides and enclosed housings without disassembly. Avoid flooding porous or highly absorbent materials and keep overspray off areas that will be painted or bonded. Thin films give the best, cleanest results and minimise dust pick-up.
A) In typical room conditions a light application forms a functional dry film in around 1–2 minutes; heavier applications usually dry within about 5 minutes. Drying depends on film thickness, temperature, airflow and humidity, so cooler or more humid environments will extend the times slightly. Mechanical parts can generally be returned to service once the surface feels dry and there is no visible wetness. For electrical housings or adjustment sliders, always ensure the equipment is de-energised before treatment and allow complete evaporation and thorough aeration before restoring power. As a rule, use the minimum amount that achieves the effect, wipe away surplus from non-contact areas, and allow a short settling interval to maximise cleanliness and performance.
A) Yes, on de-energised equipment. Soudal Dry Lubricant is suitable for non-live electrical housings, sliders and adjustment mechanisms where oily films would be undesirable. The clean, dry coating provides controlled glide without leaving residues that collect dust around sensitive components. Always isolate and power down before application, use light, targeted passes, and allow full evaporation with good ventilation before re-energising. The product is a lubricant, not a contact cleaner or dielectric treatment; it should not be sprayed onto live contacts, and heavily corroded or pitted electrical components should be refurbished or replaced rather than relied upon to improve with lubrication alone.
A) It does. During application, Soudal Dry Lubricant assists in lifting light dirt and remnants of old lubricant so the interface starts service cleaner. Once the solvent has flashed off, the dry, non-greasy film resists dust and dirt adhesion far better than wet oils, helping mechanisms stay consistent in dusty interiors and outdoor environments. Reduced dirt pick-up also means fewer abrasive particles trapped at the contact faces, which lowers wear over time. In practice, you will find travel remains smoother between services, visible hardware stays presentable for longer, and cleaning becomes a quicker wipe-down rather than a full degrease.
A) Soudal Dry Lubricant is engineered for low to medium load interfaces; it is not a substitute for specified greases or oils in high-load bearings, gearboxes or high-pressure sliding ways. It is a lubricant, not a rust converter or structural repair, heavily worn, damaged or corroded parts still require mechanical refurbishment. Do not spray onto live electrical equipment, oxygen systems or surfaces intended for painting or bonding, and avoid saturating porous materials. If a process explicitly requires silicone (for example certain mould releases) or a persistent wet film, choose a product specified for that duty. Used within its intended envelope, Soudal Dry Lubricant delivers clean, durable glide without the drawbacks of wet lubricants.
A) Think “thin and targeted”. Clean the interface first, then apply a light, even film, thin coats work better, stay cleaner and dry faster than heavy applications. Use the extension tube for accuracy on narrow rails and pivots, and cycle the mechanism after spraying to draw the lubricant into the actual contact faces. On long guides and runners, treat the full travel length and wipe any overspray from decorative areas. Keep the nozzle clean to maintain a tight spray pattern, and store the can at room temperature for consistent delivery. Plan your sequence around finishing: keep the product away from areas that will be painted or bonded, and mask if needed. With these simple habits, Soudal Dry Lubricant gives repeatable, high-quality results.
A) Soudal Dry Lubricant is a fluid, aerosol-applied dry-film system based on PTFE and solvents, formulated without silicone or mineral oil to avoid contamination of finishing processes. It leaves a transparent, dry-to-touch coating that provides lasting low-friction performance under low to medium loads. The recommended application temperature is approximately 5°C to 35°C; the 360° valve allows use in any orientation for access to overhead or recessed mechanisms. A light coat typically forms a functional film in about 1–2 minutes, with heavier coats drying in roughly 5 minutes, subject to airflow and humidity. The formulation is intended for metals, plastics and many rubbers, supporting indoor and outdoor maintenance where a residue-free finish is desirable. As with all aerosols, consult the label and safety data sheet for full handling information.
A) Store Soudal Dry Lubricant upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and never allow the can to exceed 50°C. Use only in well-ventilated areas, keep away from ignition sources and wear suitable gloves and eye protection, especially overhead or in enclosures. After use, wipe the nozzle and any extension tube so the spray pattern remains precise, and dispose of used wipes according to local regulations. If an area treated with Soudal Dry Lubricant must later be painted or bonded, remove the film promptly with a compatible solvent cleaner for the substrate, then wash with a mild detergent and allow to dry; always confirm by a small test before full finishing. Separating lubrication and finishing zones, masking where necessary and applying thin, targeted films will help avoid unwanted transfer and ensure professional results.
