Slip varnish overview
It is important that the lubricant penetrates to the link pins in order to do its job. Several products therefore contain different types of solvents, which then leave after application - after which a grease-like lubricant remains, which also remains during rotations.
There are also different types of base oils to cope with higher temperatures, as well as products with solid lubricants to minimize wear.
