SpeedX Bearing & Chain Lubricant 1oz (30ml)

SpeedX is an extreme-pressure lubricant with polar bonding capability from Corrosion Technologies, the maker of CorrosionX. The SDS lists it as a lubricant and corrosion inhibitor. The manufacturer says its additives chemically react with metal surfaces and subsurfaces to reduce wear, and are activated by heat, either external or frictional.

The manufacturer lists precision instruments and gears, bearings (particularly high speed or high load), bicycle and motorcycle chains, derailleurs, cables, slot cars, skateboards and roller skates. It states the product contains no corrosive chlorine or suspended solids such as PTFE, graphite or molybdenum disulfide.
