GRAPHITE LUBRICATION The benefit of using a graphite lubricant (rather than oil) is that the graphite leaves no sticky residue that may later attract dust. This is why it’s often best to use a graphite-based lube in applications where dust and dirt are a problem. Application such as locks, key slots, threaded rods, air compressors, hinges, and printer rails are perfect for a graphite-based lube. Although graphite is commonly available in powder form, the obvious hurdle is trying to get the powde
