Volatile Materials and Friction Wear Comparison against Leading Competitor:

Torrlube^® oils and greases have extremely low levels of volatile materials and a resulting low vapor pressure 10-9Torr at room temperature.

TorrLube ExtremeGrease grease:

35% lower in volatile materials than our leading competitor
Reduces measured wear by almost 80% more than the leading competitor
Maintains viscosity 120 C higher than the leading competitor
