Flexislip | 68

Vertical slideways are notoriously hard to lubricate. Standard oil drains to the sump within minutes, leaving the way dry. Flexislip 68 uses a "tacky" structure that creates a durable clinging film. This film remains on the way even under heavy coolant wash-down.

FlexiSlip 68 is a high-performance, synthetic lubricant designed for use in a variety of industrial applications. It is a type of grease that is formulated to provide exceptional lubricity, corrosion protection, and thermal stability. The "68" in its name refers to its NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute) consistency number, which indicates its texture and flow characteristics. flexislip 68

In real-world machining, slideway oil mixes with water-based coolants. If an oil emulsifies (mixes with water), it becomes useless, clogging filters and causing rust. Flexislip 68 features —it separates quickly from water. This allows the coolant to be recycled and the oil to return to its duty, preventing "Sunday morning rust."
