Action Can SP-90 Silicone Lubricant
Action Can SP-90 is a precision-grade silicone-based lubricant delivering dry-film protection across extreme temperatures from -50°C to +200°C. The solvent-free formulation lubricates plastic-to-plastic and plastic-to-metal contact surfaces without staining or residue accumulation, whilst functioning as an effective release agent. Compatible with most metals, rubbers, and plastics, SP-90 serves electrical, plastic processing, plumbing, metalworking, and sewing/upholstery industries.
Key Features
- Dry-Film Silicone Lubrication — Dry film provides maximum lubrication without wet residue, preventing staining and contamination of adjacent materials.
- Extreme Temperature Capability — Maintains lubricating properties across -50°C to +200°C, from artic conditions to high-temperature industrial environments.
- Solvent-Free Safety Profile — Eliminates solvent hazards, safe for use in enclosed spaces and sensitive environments without ventilation concerns.
- Dual-Purpose Release Agent — Functions as both lubricant and release agent, enabling easy component separation and mould release without dedicated products.
- Plastic and Rubber Compatibility — Safe on most plastics and rubbers (except silicone rubbers), enabling lubrication on diverse component materials.
Description
Plastic-to-Plastic Lubrication and Friction Reduction
Plastic components sliding against plastic accumulate friction and heat that degrade surfaces and reduce efficiency. Traditional mineral oils stain plastics and leave residue. Silicone's dry-film nature provides lubrication without staining, enabling smooth operation on plastic mechanisms. This stain-free approach is particularly valuable for visible assemblies and products where residue would be aesthetically unacceptable.
Sewing and Textile Industry Precision Lubrication
Sewing machines and textile equipment operate at high speeds with rapid oscillation that generates friction and wear. Sewing needles require precise lubrication that doesn't stain fabric or machine components. SP-90's dry-film silicone provides the exact lubrication characteristics needed—smooth needle action, reduced friction, no staining. This precision capability has made silicone the industry standard for sewing equipment.
O-Ring and Seal Lubrication for Installation
O-rings and seals are frequently installation-difficult—installation often requires lubrication to reduce friction as they're stretched over spools or into grooves. Mineral oils swell some elastomers; harsh solvents damage plastics. Silicone's gentle chemistry lubricates during installation whilst remaining compatible with seal materials. Post-installation, the residual film continues protecting seals against future degradation.
Cable Routing and Installation Assistance
Running cables through ducts, conduits, and tight spaces creates friction that can damage insulation. Silicone lubrication reduces friction dramatically, enabling cables to slide smoothly through routing challenges. The dry film prevents residue that would trap dirt or create future installation difficulties. Professional installers rely on silicone for rapid cable deployment through complex routing scenarios.
Extreme Temperature Performance in Demanding Environments
Electrical equipment operates across extreme temperatures—cryogenic electronics, heat-adjacent machinery, arctic outdoor installations. SP-90's silicone chemistry remains lubricating across this entire range. At -50°C where most lubricants thicken or solidify, silicone remains fluid and protective. At +200°C where mineral oils break down, silicone maintains film integrity. This extreme-temperature capability is unmatched by competing lubricants.
Release Agent Versatility Across Plastic Processing
Plastic moulding requires effective release agents that enable easy part extraction without damage. SP-90's silicone formulation works as a release agent, enabling clean separation of moulded parts from tooling. This dual functionality (lubricant and release agent) provides value beyond single-purpose products. Industrial plastics processors benefit from simplified product selection and inventory reduction.

Application Instructions
Shake the aerosol can before use. Mix thoroughly to ensure uniform silicone distribution and propellant integration.
Spray a light, even film on areas requiring lubrication. Apply from approximately 15–20 cm distance, creating thin, consistent coverage.
Avoid excessive application. Light film is optimal; excessive application leaves visible residue despite dry-film formulation.
Allow lubricant to settle briefly. Let the solvent carrier evaporate, typically 1–2 minutes, before component operation.
Repeat application as needed for continued lubrication. Reapply based on operational requirements and friction levels observed.
Use as release agent by applying to mould surfaces. For release agent applications, spray onto mould or tooling surface and allow brief settling before part extraction.
Test on silicone rubbers first. SP-90 is not suitable for silicone rubber components—test on other rubbers and plastics before general application.
Verify material compatibility if uncertain. If using on specialty materials, test on inconspicuous areas first to confirm no adverse reactions.
Do not use on live electrical equipment. SP-90 is electrically conductive; do not apply to energised electrical circuits or high-voltage equipment.
Allow complete evaporation on electrical components. If applied to de-energised electrical equipment, ensure complete drying before re-energising.
Clean or wipe if cleanliness is critical. For applications where residue appearance is unacceptable, the dry film wipes cleanly with a soft cloth.

FAQs
What's the difference between SP-90 dry-film silicone and traditional wet-film lubricants, and why does dry-film matter?
Dry-film silicone leaves minimal residue after solvent evaporation—the lubricating film persists without wet, oily appearance. Traditional mineral oils remain wet and sticky, staining plastics, textiles, and adjacent materials. Dry film is essential for precision applications where residue would compromise appearance or cleanliness. Sewing equipment, textile machinery, and visible plastic assemblies all require dry-film lubrication to maintain professional appearance whilst providing smooth operation.
Can SP-90 be used on silicone rubber seals and gaskets, or will it damage them?
SP-90 is NOT suitable for silicone rubber components—it can degrade silicone elastomers and cause seal failure. However, SP-90 is safe on most other rubber types including nitrile, EPDM, and Viton. Always test on inconspicuous areas if using on specialty rubbers. For silicone rubber lubrication, use dedicated silicone-compatible products designed specifically for this application.
What's the temperature range of SP-90, and how does it compare to traditional lubricants at temperature extremes?
SP-90 maintains lubrication across -50°C to +200°C—an exceptional range. At -50°C (arctic), traditional lubricants thicken or solidify, losing lubrication effectiveness. At +200°C (high-heat industrial), mineral oils break down and lose viscosity. Silicone's molecular structure provides consistent lubrication across both extremes, making it ideal for equipment with wide temperature variation or extreme exposure. This temperature versatility is unmatched by conventional lubricants.
How does SP-90 function as both a lubricant and a release agent, and can I use it interchangeably for both purposes?
Silicone's low surface tension and lubricating properties enable both functions—as a lubricant it reduces friction on sliding surfaces, and as a release agent it prevents adhesion between parts and moulds. You can use SP-90 for both purposes, though application technique differs slightly. For lubrication, apply light film to moving surfaces; for release agent, apply to mould surfaces before processing. The same product serves both purposes, reducing inventory complexity.
