What Chemicals Are Really in Traditional Lubricants?
When most people think of lubricants and other maintenance products, they imagine simple oils or greases. In reality, traditional products are often made with petroleum and a mix of harsh chemicals.
These can include mineral oils, synthetic additives, solvents, and other compounds that may be toxic, flammable, and potentially harmful to your skin, respiratory system, and the environment.
While they can be effective at loosening rust, reducing friction, or protecting metal, their chemical composition can pose risks—especially in homes, garages, or outdoor spaces where children, pets, or sensitive individuals are present.
How do plant-based lubricants work?
Gear Hugger takes a different approach. We create plant-based, non-toxic and petroleum-free products formulated to outperform traditional lubricants.
Every Gear Hugger formula is rigorously tested to ensure it delivers as well, or better, than petroleum-based alternatives, without exposure to harmful chemicals and fumes.
Redefine what it means to care for your gear by using powerful and safe products:
- Plant-based oils have antioxident properties that better penetrate moving and stuck parts and stubborn rust.
- They also create a protective barrier that won’t evaporate in environmental conditions know to cause corrosion.
- The flash point is higher to reduce the risk of fire and we use carbon dioxide as the propellant for added safety.
- The formulas are non-abrasive and non-corrosive, marine-safe and work for all your metal parts and equipment.
