Tri-Flow TF200271 Industrial Lubricant (TF20027) TRI-FLOW HIGH-PERFORMANCE LUBRICANT is a premium, multi-purpose penetrating lubricant renowned for its exceptional lubricating prop erties and protective capabilities. Its unique formula contains polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon®, which significantly reduces friction and wear on moving parts. Beyond lubrication, TRI-FLOW also acts as a powerful cleaner, displacing moisture, softening and removing dirt, grime, and contaminants. It leaves a long-lasting protective film that actively inhibits the formation of rust and corrosion, even under challenging environmental conditions. Available in various forms, including aerosol sprays and drip bottles, it offers versatile application for both broad coverage and precise lubrication in hard-to-reach areas. Key Characteristics: PTFE (Teflon®) Fortified: Contains micro-sized particles of PTFE, providing a low-friction, protective barrier that extends component life. High Penetration: Its light viscosity allows it to deeply penetrate tight spaces and hard-to-reach moving parts. Wide Temperature Range: Effective across a broad temperature spectrum, typically from -60°F (-51°C) to 475°F (246°C), ensuring reliable performance in diverse climates. Excellent Corrosion and Rust Protection: Special additives displace moisture and create a protective shield against rust and corrosive buildup. Reduces Friction and Wear: Significantly lowers friction, leading to smoother operation, reduced wear on parts, and extended machinery service life. Cleans and Displaces Contaminants: Formulated solvents help to loosen and remove dirt, dust, sand, and other abrasive particles. Water Resistance: Resists water washout, maintaining lubrication even in humid or wet environments. Non-Gumming/Non-Drying: Designed not to gum up or dry out over time, ensuring consistent lubrication. Versatile Application: Available in aerosol and drip bottles for convenient application. Application in Aviation: TRI-FLOW HIGH-PERFORMANCE LUBRICANT is widely utilized in aviation for its ability to lubricate, protect, and clean critical components. Its low-friction properties and resistance to environmental factors make it suitable for: Flight Control Systems: Lubricating hinges, cables, pulleys, and linkages of control surfaces (e.g., ailerons, elevators, rudders) to ensure smooth and precise operation. Landing Gear Components: Used on landing gear hinges, pivots, struts, and mechanical linkages to prevent corrosion, reduce friction, and allow for proper retraction and extension. Aircraft Doors and Hatches: Lubricating hinges, latches, and locking mechanisms on cabin doors, cargo doors, and access panels for easy operation and to prevent sticking. Engine Maintenance: Applied to various engine accessories, small bearings, and linkages where a penetrating lubricant with corrosion protection is beneficial (though typically not for internal engine lubrication). Avionics and Electrical Systems: Can be used on connectors and contacts to prevent corrosion and improve conductivity (always check compatibility with specific electrical components). General Airframe Lubrication: For general lubrication points on the airframe, including fasteners, linkages, and small mechanisms that require protection from wear, rust, and moisture. Freeing Corroded Parts: Its penetrating action makes it effective for loosening rusted or corroded nuts, bolts, and other fasteners during maintenance.Its use is often recommended by maintenance professionals for extending component life and reducing maintenance costs.
