Alpha Lube DRY Lubricant for Crimping and Press Tools – 150ml (AL-LUB-150)
A press or crimp tool pushes its jaws against the fitting every time you make a joint, and that contact is where friction and wear build up. Alpha Lube is a dry-type lubricant for the jaw area of pipe and electrical crimping tools, supplied in a 150ml bottle.
Alpha Press describes it as quick drying, so it doesn’t stay wet on the jaws, and says a dry lubricant is better than a wet one because wet lubricants are more likely to attract debris that can be pressed into the joint. It says Alpha Lube reduces drag on the fitting, helps give a more uniform crimp on both pipe fittings and electrical terminal fittings, prolongs the life of the jaws and lessens motor stress on battery or electrical tools. It’s stated for use on copper, stainless steel, carbon steel and brass.
Alpha Press also lists other uses, including cycle chains, blades and bits, door and window tracks, slides, hinges, power tools and equipment, and gives an effective temperature range of about -46°C to 260°C (-50°F to 500°F). Apply it to the tool’s jaw area, follow the press tool and fitting manufacturer’s instructions, and see the supplier’s safety data sheet. It’s for tool jaws, and isn’t stated as approved for use on fitting seals or O-rings.
