Q-GRAPHITE SPRAY is specially formulated as a penetrating oil. However, because graphite is a dry lubricant, it doesn’t attract dirt and dust. Q-GRAPHITE SPRAY works by penetrating hinges, locks and other hard-to-reach fittings with a thin, solvent solution that then evaporates, leaving a layer of dry graphite lubricant. These qualities make Q-GRAPHITE SPRAY ideal in intricate components that don’t function well with a build up of dust and oil residue.
