Properties
Anchorlube is a versatile lubricant that comes in the form of a smooth, green semi-paste. However, it's important to note that its consistency may vary depending on the temperature. Anchorlube can transform from a lighter viscosity in warm environments to a heavier paste in colder conditions. Despite these changes, its performance and efficiency remain unaffected. If exposed to freezing temperatures of 30°F or lower, Anchorlube may freeze and separate into layers upon thawing. A quick shake will restore it back to its original state without compromising its effectiveness.
