Description
Product Overview
The BTAS SYN12 is a high‑performance synthetic lubricant specifically engineered for trailer hitch components. Unlike conventional petroleum‑based greases, this formulation contains no petroleum content, relying instead on a sophisticated blend of aluminum complex, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and a suite of anti‑wear additives. The result is a low‑viscosity, waterproof, non‑toxic fluid that adheres strongly to metal surfaces, providing superior corrosion and oxidation resistance. Packaged in a compact 5‑ounce container, the product measures 2.49 x 2.8 x 2.5 inches, making it easy to store in a toolbox or garage. First available on September 19, 2024, the SYN12 quickly earned a Best Sellers Rank of #70 in Automotive Lubricants, reflecting its growing popularity among professional tow operators and DIY enthusiasts alike.
Usage
Designed for a wide range of trailer applications, BTAS SYN12 can be applied to receiver hitches, ball mounts, hitch balls, locks, couplers, jacks, winches and other towing accessories. Whether you are preparing a new trailer for a cross‑country haul, performing routine maintenance on a fleet of service vehicles, or simply need to quiet a squeaking hitch after a weekend trip, this lubricant delivers consistent performance. Its temperature tolerance from -22°F to 356°F ensures reliable operation in cold winter mornings and scorching summer afternoons, making it suitable for both seasonal and year‑round use.
