What could possibly justify a cost of $25,000 (US) for a liter of
this Braycote material? Of course, I'm extrapolating - $25/gm,
assuming 1000gm/l.
Sounds like a government contract rate to me. MoS2 and TFE-rich
lubricants have been readily available for decades - and while they
tend to be on the pricier side, I've seen nothing that touches
$25-28/gm.
What's the going price per gallon of sperm whale oil?
I'm very careful with PTFE-enhanced lubricants, such as TriFlow--they
tend, for me, at least, to get gummy. A good petroleum oil should last
decades in this particular application.
