Product Information
Full details
Syntol Red Rubber Grease is an essential maintenance product for automotive technicians and DIY mechanics working with brake systems, seals, and various rubber components. By utilizing a specialized vegetable oil-based, bentone-thickened formula, it provides exceptional lubrication that prevents natural rubber and SBR seals from swelling, hardening, or shrinking. While it is highly effective for rubber-to-metal applications, users should note its specific temperature operating range of -5°C to +120°C, making it unsuitable for extreme arctic or high-heat industrial applications.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this grease safe for natural rubber?
Yes, it is specifically formulated to be safe for natural rubber and SBR without causing swelling or degradation.
Can I use this for my wheel bearings?
No, this is intended for rubber seals and braking components, not for high-load or high-speed metallic wheel bearings.
How does it react to petrol?
The grease is highly resistant to petrol, diesel, and similar solvents, making it ideal for fuel-system-related seals.
Is this product petroleum-based?
No, it is a vegetable-oil-based formula, which is why it is safe for use with sensitive rubber materials.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The grease is rated for temperatures up to 120°C.
Can I use it on metal-to-metal parts?
While it provides lubrication, it is optimized for rubber-to-metal contact; it is not a substitute for heavy-duty metal-on-metal chassis grease.
Troubleshooting
Grease is thinning or dripping
Verify that the operating temperature of the application is not exceeding 120°C, as the grease will lose its non-melting integrity above this threshold.
Seal has swollen despite using the grease
Ensure that the original grease was completely removed before application; previous mineral-based greases can cause rubber swelling that persists even after cleaning.
Grease does not stay in place on high-speed components
Red Rubber Grease is primarily for seals and assembly; check that you are not applying it to high-speed rotational bearings that require heavy-duty pressure lubricants.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents hardening and swelling of natural rubber seals
- Excellent resistance to petroleum-based fuels and solvents
- Non-melting formula ensures stability during operation
- Compatible with a wide range of synthetic elastomers
- Ideal for sensitive automotive braking systems
Cons
- Not suitable for extreme sub-zero temperatures below -5°C
- Temperature limit of 120°C restricts high-heat industrial use
- Specific to rubber/elastomer applications rather than general high-load metal bearings
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the components are clean and free of existing mineral-based greases, as these can be incompatible with rubber components. Apply a thin, even layer of Syntol Red Rubber Grease to the rubber surface or seal housing before assembly.
Storage Care: Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While the vegetable-based formula is stable, moisture and heavy contamination should be avoided to preserve the grease's texture. Always double-check that the operating environment of your machinery does not exceed the 120°C threshold, as exceeding this will compromise the protective film and lubrication effectiveness.
