Maintenance teams and procurement buyers in India frequently ask: “Which LPS product should I use — LPS 1, LPS 2 or LPS 3?” This practical guide removes the guesswork.
We explain what each product does, real-world use cases (aerospace, electrical, heavy machinery, storage), quick comparison tables, safety/datasheet needs, and exactly how to buy in India. If you require bulk quantities or TDS/SDS for approval, you can access them directly through our main ITW Pro Brands Products page
| Feature / Use | LPS 1 | LPS 2 | LPS 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Greaseless dry film lubricant. (LPS 1) | Heavy-duty lubricant, long film. (LPS 2) | Premier rust inhibitor with a waxy protective film (up to 2 years). (LPS3) |
| Best for | Precision & electrical parts, low dust pickup | General machinery lubrication, penetration, and moisture displacement | Long-term corrosion protection, storage & export parts |
| Protection duration | Days to weeks (dry film) | Months (ongoing lubrication) | Up to 2 years (indoor) |
| Removes rust / loosens | Yes | Yes (penetrating action) | Not primary, but protective |
| Skydrol resistance | Not the primary use | Not the primary use | Excellent for corrosion control on assemblies |
What it does: Leaves a thin, dry lubricating film that resists dust and dirt — ideal where oil films are unacceptable (precision instruments, electrical contacts).
Ideal uses: Instrumentation, electrical relays, small mechanisms, and aircraft interiors where oil contamination must be avoided.
Buying note: Ask for TDS to confirm dielectric and VOC compliance for specific applications.
Buy LPS 1 – Check Availability & Datasheet
What it does: High-performance film, moisture displacement, penetration and durable lubrication across a wide temperature range (?58°F to 350°F on spec sheet).
Ideal uses: Bearings, chains, hinges, and manufacturing lines where long-lasting lubrication and moisture displacement are needed.
Buying note: Often used as the plant floor “go-to” spray. Check container sizes for bulk maintenance.
Buy LPS 2 – Request Bulk Pricing
What it does: Forms a soft, waxy film that protects metal for extended periods (manufacturer claims up to 2 years indoors). Perfect for shipment and long-term storage.
Ideal uses: Exported machinery, spare parts inventories, vehicle storage, components exposed to humidity or salt spray.
Buying note: Ask for application guidance — film can be removed during finishing or before assembly.
Buy LPS 3 – Get Technical Datasheet
TDS & SDS (technical + safety data) — must be downloadable.

Q: Which LPS product is best for electrical contacts?
A: LPS 1 — greaseless and non-staining; displaces moisture and provides thin film lubrication.
Q: How long does LPS 3 protect metal?
A: Manufacturer states up to 2 years indoors for LPS 3 under recommended conditions.
Q: Can I use LPS 2 on conveyor chains?
A: Yes; LPS 2 is suitable for heavy-duty lubrication and moisture displacement on chains and moving parts.
