Why is SynLube Lube-4-Life black?
SynLube Lube-4-Life is a synergy of five different chemically inert liquid lubricants all of which have different light absorption characteristics. The separate pure components are: 1.) Clear color-less 2.) Translucent light yellow 3.) Hazy translucent white 4.) Clear medium brown 5.) Clear phosphorescent light amber When they are all mixed together in the appropriate ratio to achieve the unique properties that are present in SynLube Lube-4-Life the final mixture is translucent and has a deep brownish-black color. The theory of this phenomenon is not fully understood, but it is believed that the very strong adsorption of light is presumably connected with the transfer of an electron from one atom to another of the element that is present in two valence states. Then the three solid lubricants are added: 1.) PTFE – reddish-pink or creamy white 2.) Graphite – dark gray 3.) Moly – dark green And the finished SynLube Lube-4-Life lubricant becomes opaque even in extremely thin film and the f
