Used liberally by those demanding machinists at Starrett in their own facilities, M1 is a superior all-around lubricant for the shop. It penetrates, prevents rust, lubricates, cleans, and stops squeaks. It goes on wet but dries to a micro-thin, airtight, surface protecting film/coating and will not attract dust, dirt, or other contaminants.
Silicone free M1 can be used to: Free-up rust frozen nuts and other metal parts; Prevent rust and corrosion; Remove grease, tar, dirt and grime; Sneak into tiny crevices to stop squeaks and sticking parts; Displace moisture to protect surfaces; and much more. It’s also non-conducting, so it can help prevent short-circuits caused by moisture. Handy stuff! USA
