Best lubricant for tech bindings

**Huskier** · 09-08-2013, 01:23 PM

Searched, to no avail. What do people use when servicing heel pieces? I was going to go with a chain lube or whatever the hell else I have on hand (worried about freezing though...) unless someone has a specific recommendation?

Some silicone grease should be fine or some of the dry/Teflon type of bike lubricant. The silicone grease can be had at hardware stores and auto parts stores. A little goes a long ways.

Dynafit's grease is a PG75 grease which is widely available but they also supply small tubs of it which should be available from your local Dynafit dealer.

White lithium grease.

I read that Dynafit uses Molykote EM-30L, which according to the Dow website is "developed for plastic components" whereas the previously mentioned PG75 is "especially for vehicle track-rod joints" but it also has "PLASTISLIP" in its name and this certainly sounds relevant to ski binding application:

Here's EM-30L:

Either way, EM-30L is available on eBay but I don't see PG75 (at least in the U.S.).

I also noticed that one eBay listing said that PG-30L, EM-30L, and EM-30LG all have the same specs.

I've also used other brands/types of lithium grease -- seemed to work fine at the time, although given the relatively low cost of buying the real deal on eBay, might as well use the OEM.

Just keep it thin, since thicker attracts more dirt (I think...).

And bike chain lube seems all wrong for this.
