601 Chain Drive Pin and Bushing Lubricant
Chesterton 601 is a high-performance lubricant designed to penetrate deep into the close-clearance areas of chain pins, bushings, wire ropes, and cables. Its fast-acting capillary action delivers effective lubrication where it's needed most, forming a long-lasting, non-drying film that reduces friction, minimizes wear, and helps extend equipment life. By resisting dirt and dust accumulation, it keeps components cleaner and running more efficiently.
Formulated with extreme pressure and corrosion-resistant additives, 601 operates reliably in a wide temperature range from –10 °F to 300 °F. It is NSF H2 registered for incidental food contact areas and is well-suited for use on conveyors, hoist chains, forklifts, chain saws, and other demanding chain-driven systems. Available in aerosol and bulk formats, it offers convenient application for both routine maintenance and high-load operations.
