General ihnfo[]
The 'F' in the product's name stands for fluoropolymer, specifically referring the polytetrafluoroethylene particles the grease contains. It has the poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) as base oil, which makes the grease more resistant to cold.
Due to containing the polytetrafluoroethylene particles (which has the coefficients of friction that is much lower than that of the ceramic greases), the F Grease has better performance compares to other greases. The F Grease has lower viscosity and has less resistance, and usually leaves a thin layer that covers the gears. This thin layer can repels dirt and water from the gears.
However, its low viscosity nature is also not without issue; The thin layers on the gears can often wears off and racer will have to reapply the F Grease periodically for optimal performance.
