Here’s what people who bought this grease say about it: On February 20, 2024 ebay user jdjfusion1 wrote: “Very quick to ship and received my order of “Camera Equipment Grease: Nye Fluorocarbon Gel 891-V1 (6ml Jar)” exactly as described.” Description: Nye Synthetic Fluorocarbon Gel 891-V1 (1ml Jar) for Large Cameras and Related Equipment. If you’d like to buy other Nye greases, please check out my other listings, message me or call me (see last image). Here’s what Nye has published about Fluorocarbon Gel 891-V1: Technology is always changing, and so are our lubricants. At Nye, our Research and Development team is hard at work developing the latest lubrication technology to meet the needs of emerging technologies and improve lubricants for existing applications. One of our most recent developments is an advanced silicone motion control (damping) grease designed to control free motion in camera equipment and a wide range of other mechanical devices. Two camera operators using a mechanical rig. Camera equipment such as jibs, shoulder rigs, sliders, fluid heads and tripods require advanced motion control to ensure ultra-smooth movement as camera resolution increases from 4K to 8K and beyond. For 50 years, designers and manufacturers have used damping greases as an economical way to build fine tolerances into products such as these. Silicone greases are often recommended for camera applications because they do not swell most plastics or elastomers. Nye has spent considerable time developing advanced testing techniques, particularly in the field of Rheometry – the study of the flow and deformation of matter which describes the interrelation between force, deformation, and time. Using advanced formulation technology and sophisticated rheology testing, Nye developed Fluorocarbon Gel 891-V1, the first in a series of advanced motion control gels with customizable rheological properties. Using our technology, we can create stable silicone greases that are soft yet maintain their structure for consistent, lifetime motion control. Fluorocarbon Gel 891-V1 is an exceptionally stable grease with zero oil separation despite a low yield stress. With low starting (break-away) torque and no “backlash”, this silicone-based motion control gel addresses many of the issues faced by both engineers designing camera rigs and operators using them in the field. Fluorocarbon Gel 891-V1 can also be used to refurbish or repair older camera components that require service. Additionally, our researchers developed Fluorocarbon Gel 891-V1 in such a way that its properties remain unaffected by exposure to extreme temperatures and harsh environmental conditions including high humidity. This is an attractive solution for crews working on long outdoor shoots in a variety of climates from the Arctic to Death Valley. Our technology has allowed us to create low-evaporation silicone greases that maintain similar viscosity, and therefore damping, over a wide temperature range, allowing the same precise positioning in -40°C as they would have in 70°C. Nye’s new customizable silicone technology has enabled us to create greases that retain superior long-term damping properties over a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions, enhancing the functionality and longevity of your component.

Here’s what people who bought this grease kit say: “Perfect lubricant for Nikon Labophot and other laboratory grade microscopes. Mine feels like it has been given a new lease.” “Outstanding Seller. Great communications. Thank you!” “Everything shipped in nicely organized jars. It is very obvious this seller really cares about his customers. A few extra supplies to get the job done were included. Would order again and again. Why can’t every Ebay seller be this professional? This sellers’ products are better than Hagen Daz Belgian chocolate ice cream which is at the top of my life’s pleasures. What are you waiting for? Go ahead and order from this seller!” “Flawless transaction, Excellent items. Million Thanks!!! AAA+++” “Great product, fast delivery” “Great grease my guy. Great grease.” “Great Seller!!!!!” About this grease kit: After many years of working with a Nye sales engineer and trying countless synthetic hydrocarbon greases, I’ve come up with two top choices for microscopes. These synthetic greases will not gas off or react with internal components made from different materials. This microscope grease kit contains two 12.5 gram jars of Nye Lubricant’s synthetic hydrocarbon greases that will make your microscope’s controls feel like velvet. If you plan on lubricating your microscope’s diopter and want a damping grease, please let me know and I’ll include a free sample. FYI, 368AXF works well for diopters, but it’s not a damping grease. Discounts for larger quantities available. Need help? Please find my contact information on the images I posted. Here’s some information about these two Nye greases: RHEOLUBE 362HB PTFE Fortified, Tackifier, Rust Inhibited, UV Tracer A lithium soap thickened, light viscosity, synthetic hydrocarbon grease. For the lubrication of fine focus shafts, stage bearings, cams, sliding surfaces, small gear trains, and mechanical linkages of switch gears. Contains a modifier for improved adherence. RHEOLUBE 368AXF Rust Inhibited, Tackifier, PTFE Fortified, EP Fortified. A lithium soap thickened, medium viscosity, synthetic hydrocarbon grease for gear train and applications where medium to heavy loads are involved such as dovetails, pinions, nose bearings, large stages and course-focus mechanisms. Fortified to improve lubricity, load-carrying capability, and friction reduction with low temperature capability. Contains a modifier for improved adherence.
