lōōb - Ara Ara

---

Ara Ara is a DuPont Krytox™ GPL based PTFE graphene grease lubricant designed specifically for knife bearing lubrication. 

A blend based from both DuPont Krytox™ GPL 205g0 and GPL 205g2 for a 1.5 NLGI consistency consisting of carbon, fluorine, PTFE, with graphene powder from Carbon Gates Technology LLC to keep the same properties of the other lōōbs, where even if it dries out, the dry lubricants keeps it smooth.

Relubing shouldn't be necessary for balisongs with confined bearings.

1.5ml tube ranges between 65-80 uses.

the tube comes in an acrylic case

4 Ball Wear, ASTM D4172 (Oil)/D2266 (Grease) 40 kg, 1,200 rpm, 1 hr at 75 °C (167 °F)

Unopened containers of these have shown no change in properties after 20 or more years of storage at ambient temperatures.     

DuPont Performance Lubricants has tested at 200 °C and 10,000 RPM for over 5,000 hours in a bearing life test (ASTM D-3336). The bearings did not fail. The test was stopped at 5,000 hours because no other grease tested survived for that long. At lower temperatures, the test could run for hundreds of thousands of hours without bearing failure.
