the rubber vanes of my rotary separator are squeaking badly. i'm wondering if there's something i can lube them with... it would seem reasonable to do so, as long as the lube isn't wet and attracting dust. any thoughts?

Maybe TriFlow. It’s a Teflon lubricant.

wax? words to make it count

Silicone spray lube does OK at not being a dust magnet. It's not very durable. I am not familiar with rubber vanes in a separator. I had an old Datsun truck that had a noisy rotary vane smog pump. A shot of silicone spray would quiet that down for several days. Thanks to an earlier SMC lube thread I have started avoiding Teflon. My concerns about Teflon were reinforced by the movie Dark Waters on Netflix.

Anything with the word silicone in the title shall never enter my shop. Fought fish eye years ago in my commercial shop, never again.Originally Posted by Maurice Mcmurry

Dupont chain saver, spray lube. Wax in a spray can, no silicone. Self cleaning, what ever that means.

Glad to see Dupont has an alternative to Teflon!
