Answers to common questions about silicone lubricants and greases
Friends! Despite the fact that VALERA Master Lubricant and VALERA Liquid Key have been on the market for a long time, many consumers often do not understand the difference between them and in what cases it is recommended to use these lubricants. Sometimes there are very interesting questions. Today we will answer some of them.
Questions about VALERA Liquid Key
Hello can I use it to remove stuck plugs? If not, what would work? What kind of product?
It is possible to use VALERA Liquid Key for this purpose. Its main difference from similar products is that in addition to high penetrating properties, it also has good lubricating properties. This reduces the probability of plug breakage in the process of unscrewing. It is recommended to unscrew stuck plugs with a T-shaped tool after the lubricant has penetrated into the threaded part. For this purpose, the composition should be kept in the place of contact between the plug and the block head for at least 30 minutes.
Please clarify, is it possible to lubricate car doors to prevent squeaking? Will it not corrode?

Good day! Can you tell me, is the penetrating power (help in unscrewing stuck bolts) better in this Valera in red or in gray bottle (master-lubricant)? Interested primarily in the penetrating ability. Thank you in advance.
The best penetrating ability of the liquid key VALERA. It was developed primarily as a penetrating compound.

VALERA Liquid Key does not contain silicones in its composition. If you need silicone grease, we recommend you to pay attention to SILICOT spray grease.
Hello, if I buy 5 liters, where to put it?
VALERA Liquid Key 5 liters is produced to meet the needs of service stations and industries. It can be filled into a garden sprayer or any container with a trigger. In this case you can spray the product both jet and as an aerosol.
Hello, the other day I purchased Valera penetrating fluid, VMPAUTO 650ml, the nominal volume is listed as 500ml. Having weighed it repeatedly at room temperature, the weight was a maximum of 468 grams. After reading the questions, I realized that this misunderstanding is not only for me, but you as a manufacturer are avoiding a direct answer to a fairly simple question. The product is sold with a declared volume of 650ml, but in fact, together with the container, the total weight is 470, and some have 450ml. What is the total weight of a 650ml bottle of liquid?
A 650ml bottle can safely hold 500ml of contents as the propellant gas expands when heated. The nominal volume of 500 ml is just the volume of the total usable contents (gas + semi-product). The volume and mass of the gas are counted in the liquid phase. The density of the semi-product is about 900g/l, the density of the gas is about 600g/l, which is much less than the density of water, which is about 1000g – 1l. That is why the weight of the cylinder is less – 465-470 g together with the container.
Good afternoon! How does this Valera differ from the Valera in the gray bottle?
VALERA Liquid Key differs from VALERA Master Lubricant by its composition. The first one is made on mineral oil. It is primarily required to have good penetrating properties. VALERA Master Grease has synthetic oil in its composition, which provides it with good lubricating properties.

Since Liquid Key is made with mineral oil, it has some activity towards rubber. In this regard, its abundant use near rubber parts is not recommended. For assemblies adjacent to rubber parts, it is better to use VALERA Master Lubricant.

Good day will help to unscrew camber bolts boiled in silent block?
VALERA liquid key has good penetrating properties. It was created first of all to help in unscrewing sour bolts and lugs. In order for the composition to better penetrate into the oxidized parts, it is necessary to allow a certain period of time after applying the composition to the part. In particularly bad cases, the treatment of the node should be repeated and the holding time should be increased.
Will it not damage the paint on the car?
VALERA Liquid Key is neutral to most types of paintwork. However, taking into account the different state of paintwork of cars, it is not worth leaving it on the body surface for a long time. After application, it is better to remove the excess of the compound with a rag.
