Quick question on grease used for O-ring


Recommended Posts

Most o-rings will be made from nitrile (NBR) as it is cheap and has all round good properties, so unless you are using some strange o-ring material they should be chemically compatible with the grease which appears to be a mix of mineral grease and vegetable oils. 

You can check out the compatibility here

The only other thing you need to think about is if the grease will stay where you put it and not end up somewhere you don't want it.

Just spotted on the Moebius 8200 sheet that Moebius also belongs to the Swatch Group?!

Just use a cheap silicone grease applicator like the one listed below

They come preloaded with enough grease to last years before a top up is needed, and when it does here is a nice big tube that has enough to last a lifetime.
