Opinions please.

I read about this on another site and had never heard of it. The specs look pretty good, but how do you think it would work on a firearm? I don't know why flourination would make a difference for gun grease, and I don't know how close non-flourinated grease products compare to the specs that are listed.

Depends on your use, me, I don’t use any grease on pistols, now on bolt action rifles, I do in the lugs, to me grease might attract dirt and debris, just my thoughts

I would be interested in seeing what its moisture displacement properties are. If it was intended for use in food processing equipment, it may be more tolerant to holding moisture than some of the moisture displacing lubricants we use in our guns today.

A high quality food grade grease is remarkable stuff, the lubrication ability is incredible in a wide range of temperatures. That being said I’ll stick with my synthetic red Mobile 1

Food grade grease does not hold moisture at all in fact one of its main uses is in ice cream making equipment that run at or near freezing.

It's so if you use it for toothpaste you won't get cavities lol.
 
My 2¢:
the formulation of this product is intended for the specific purpose; the lubrication of machinery used in the food processing industry where petroleum based lubes are forbidden by FDA regulations and labeled under NFS foodservice guidelines.

So if you had a bucket of this product that cost you nothing…yes - it could be used in many other applications but it’s specific purpose is not spec for those other uses although it’s properties may even exceed for example, some API standards for automotive bearings.

The right tool for the best job.
 
Food grade oils and grease, great for basting and as a sunblock…

Talyn,
Thank you for the links to the data sheets. They were very helpful. Keystone 1925 addressed the moisture afinity issue above so that answered my question. It sounds like the product would work with one caveat. Here is a quote out of the datasheet:

"These fluorinated greases are not miscible with lubricants of mineral origin, or even synthetics with different chemistries. To get the best return from these products, the elements to be lubricated should be clean and perfectly degreased."

That statement indicates that you must fully degrease the firearm and not use any other lubricant that we typically use on guns. The datasheet did not address what would happen if you mixed it with a mineral based lubricant. That would have to be explored to insure the mixture would not congeal to something that would harm or immobilize the firearm.

The Titan II engines used a similar non-mineral based grease that allowed the fuel and oxidizer pumps to run at 300,000 RPM albeit for a useful life of only 3 minutes.
