A lubricant does one fundamental job: it puts a film between two surfaces that would otherwise wear each other down. But the way it does that job, and the conditions it needs to perform under, vary enormously across different applications. A chain on a heavy crane needs something completely different from a spark plug boot. An open gear on a cement mixer has different requirements from a food processing conveyor. Getting that match right is what separates a maintenance programme that works from one that generates recurring problems.
BTS Industries, part of Apex International Group and formulating for professionals for over 50 years, offers a comprehensive lubricant range that covers the full spectrum of industrial, fleet, and workshop needs. Made in the USA, each product is engineered for a specific task. At WHGT, we supply the complete BTS lubricants range across the UAE and the Gulf region. This article covers every product, what it does, and where it belongs.
Chain and Cable Lubricants
BTS Chain and Cable Lube Heavy Duty Moly and Graphite (B-00019) _ 16 oz
This is the heavy-duty workhorse for chain and cable lubrication on industrial, farm, and heavy equipment. The formula combines molybdenum disulphide and graphite in a unique three-stage delivery: it foams onto coat the surface on contact, penetrates as an oil to reach the inner links and cable strands, then sets up as a grease for maximum protection and retention. The extra tack in the final grease film significantly reduces sling-off, which is a common problem with standard oils on fast-moving chains. It inhibits rust and corrosion, helps reduce wear, and is heat-resistant to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (482 degrees Celsius). Suitable for chains, cables, wire ropes, bars, and pulleys on industrial, farm, and heavy-duty equipment. Net weight: 16 oz (454g).
BTS Clear Chain and Cable Lube with PTFE Friction Reducer (B-00031) _ 11 oz
This is the performance variant in the chain and cable range, adding PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) as a friction reducer alongside the same three-stage foam-to-oil-to-grease delivery mechanism. The PTFE component provides an additional layer of friction reduction at the surface level, making it well-suited to applications where chain or cable efficiency and longevity are the primary concern. Same heat resistance of 900 degrees Fahrenheit (482 degrees Celsius), same rust and corrosion inhibition, and the same sling-off-reducing tack as the heavy-duty version. Net weight: 11 oz (312g).
Dry Lubricants
BTS Dry Graphite Lubricant Industrial Grade (B-00015) _ 12 oz
Dry lubricants are the correct specification whenever oil or grease contamination would be a problem in precision machinery, locks, delicate mechanisms, or environments where wet lubricants attract dust and abrasive particles. BTS Dry Graphite Lubricant sprays on as a liquid carrier that evaporates quickly, leaving a clean, dry graphite film on the surface. It reduces friction and wear, performs under extreme pressure, and is heat-resistant to 850 degrees Fahrenheit (454 degrees Celsius). Excellent for machinery, wire rope, locks, winches, parking meters, and vending machines. Fast drying and long wearing. Net weight: 12 oz (340g).
BTS Dry Moly Lubricant Industrial Grade (B-00014) _ 12 oz
Molybdenum disulphide, or moly, is one of the most effective dry lubricants available and is particularly well suited to high-load, high-pressure applications where graphite alone would be insufficient. BTS Dry Moly Lubricant has a high lubricity formula that reduces friction and wear under superior extreme pressure conditions. It is fast drying, provides clean, long-wearing lubrication, and is specifically effective as a break-in lubricant for pistons, gears, and pump assemblies, where proper initial surface conditioning significantly affects long-term component life. It also prevents seizing of sliding parts, chains, and cables in high-temperature environments. Net weight: 12 oz (340g).
Penetrating Oils and Multi-Purpose Lubricants
BTS PT-1 Super Fast Penetrating Oil Professional Heavy Duty (B-00017) _ 11 oz
When a fastener is seized or a mechanism is frozen, the first thing any technician reaches for is a penetrating oil. PT-1 is BTS’s professional-grade answer to this problem. It attacks rust and corrosion at the joint, loosens and frees rusted nuts, bolts, and frozen mechanisms, and lubricates and cleans as it works. The pinpoint spray gives precise application in tight spaces. Importantly, PT-1 contains no silicone, making it safe for use in paint and body shops where silicone contamination would cause fish-eye defects in paint finishes. Net weight: 11 oz (312g).
BTS MP-6 Professional Lubricant (B-00018) _ 11 oz
MP-6 is the BTS multi-purpose lubricant in the water displacement category, comparable in function to WD-40 but formulated to professional heavy-duty standards. It lubricates, cleans, protects, stops squeaks, and reduces friction across a wide range of applications. Its water displacement formula drives out moisture from electrical contacts, mechanisms, and metal surfaces, which is particularly relevant in the UAE’s coastal and humid environments, where moisture ingress into equipment is a recurring issue. It loosens and frees rusty nuts and bolts and provides ongoing protection against rust and corrosion. Net weight: 11 oz (312g).
Open Gear and Cutting Lubricants
BTS Open Gear Lube Industrial Grade (B-00020) _ 12 oz
Open and exposed gears on industrial equipment, power winches, and cables present a specific lubrication challenge: the gear teeth are exposed to the environment, meaning any lubricant needs to stay in place under load without being washed off by water or flung off by centrifugal force. BTS Open Gear Lube penetrates gears and cables for premium lubrication, performs in both high and low temperatures and in high-pressure environments, and uses a weatherproof formula that will not wash off. It helps reduce wear and inhibits rust and corrosion on exposed gear surfaces. Net weight: 12 oz (340g).
BTS Cutting Oil Industrial Grade (B-00022) _ 16 oz
Cutting oil is a specialist lubricant used during metal cutting operations to reduce heat at the cutting interface, minimize tool wear, and improve the quality of the machined surface. BTS Cutting Oil is formulated for hard-to-machine metals and minimizes torque increase during cutting operations. Critically, it does not contain sulphur, chlorinated paraffins, water, solvents, or inactive fillers, which matters both for the health of the machined surface and for compliance in facilities with restrictions on sulphur or chlorine-containing compounds. Heat resistant to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (482 degrees Celsius). Suitable for thread cutting machines, drills, saws, engravers, gear cutters, piercing, and broaching operations. Net weight: 16 oz (454g).
Silicone-Based Lubricants and Greases
BTS Dielectric Silicone Grease and Lubricant Solvent Free (B-20535) _ 3 oz
Dielectric silicone grease serves a dual purpose: it lubricates rubber, plastic, and metal components while also providing electrical insulation at connection points. BTS Dielectric Silicone Grease is a non-hardening, non-carbonizing silicone lubricant with excellent dielectric properties, physical stability, and thermal stability across a service temperature range of -40 degrees Fahrenheit to +550 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degrees Celsius to +288 degrees Celsius). It is insoluble in water, methanol, ethanol, dilute acids and caustics, vegetable and mineral oils, glycol, and glycerine. It is waterproof, chemical-resistant, non-toxic, and seals out moisture, dirt, and contaminants. Applications include spark plug boots, distributor caps, O-rings, valves and controls, water faucets, and all types of mechanical and electrical connections. It holds NSF H-1 registration for lubricating applications in food industry equipment, including meat and poultry plants. Net weight: 3 oz (85g).
BTS Silicone Brake and Caliper Grease (B-20570) _ 3 oz
A dedicated brake system lubricant for use on caliper slide pins, caliper brackets, and brake hardware. Silicone-based brake grease is the correct specification for these components because it is compatible with rubber brake seals and does not swell or degrade them the way petroleum-based greases would. It withstands the high temperatures generated during braking and provides long-lasting lubrication to prevent brake noise, sticking caliper pins, and uneven pad wear. Net weight: 3 oz.
BTS Silicone Mould Release and Lubricant Solvent Free (B-00071) _ 11 oz
Silicone mould release is used in manufacturing and fabrication environments to prevent materials from bonding to mould surfaces, ensuring clean separation and protecting the mould. BTS Silicone Mould Release is solvent-free, which makes it safer to use in enclosed production environments and compatible with a wider range of mould materials. It also functions as a general lubricant for rubber, plastic, and metal surfaces where a dry, clean, silicone-based film is required. Net weight: 11 oz.
BTS Silicone Spray Synthetic Lubricant (B-00006) _ 10 oz
A general-purpose synthetic silicone spray lubricant for use on rubber, plastic, metal, and painted surfaces. Silicone spray provides a clean, dry lubrication film that does not attract dust or grime, making it suitable for hinges, slides, seals, rubber components, and any application where a wet grease would be inappropriate. Net weight: 10 oz.
BTS Silicone Spray Food Grade Synthetic Lubricant Professional Heavy Duty (B-00056) _ 10 oz
The food-grade variant of the silicone spray is specifically formulated and certified for use in food processing and handling environments. Where equipment comes into incidental contact with food, the lubricant used must meet food safety standards. This product delivers the same silicone lubrication performance in a food-safe formulation appropriate for use in production facilities, commercial kitchens, and food processing plants. Net weight: 10 oz.
Grease Products
BTS Red Grease Liquefied Penetrating Formula Industrial Grade (B-00008) _ 11.5 oz
Red Grease is a high-performance industrial grease in a liquefied aerosol format that penetrates into bearings, joints, and mechanisms before setting up as a protective grease film. The liquefied delivery means it reaches areas that a conventional grease gun or brush-applied grease cannot access, including sealed cavities, tight bearing housings, and complex assemblies. It provides long-lasting lubrication and protects against wear, rust, and corrosion. Net weight: 11.5 oz.
BTS White Lithium Grease Long Lasting Lubricant Professional Heavy Duty (B-00007) _ 12 oz
White lithium grease is one of the most widely used general-purpose greases in automotive and industrial maintenance. BTS White Lithium Grease provides long-lasting lubrication for metal-on-metal contact points, hinges, slides, door mechanisms, and gear assemblies. The lithium soap base gives it good water resistance and thermal stability, and the white colour means it does not stain light-coloured components or surfaces. Professional heavy-duty formulation. Net weight: 12 oz (340g).
The Right Lubricant for the Right Job
The BTS lubricants range is broad by design. Industrial and fleet maintenance involves dozens of different lubrication scenarios, and using a general-purpose product where a specialist one is required is one of the most common and most costly maintenance mistakes. Using a petroleum grease on brake caliper pins, for example, will degrade the rubber seals and eventually cause brake failure. Using a wet lubricant on a lock or precision mechanism will attract abrasive particles and accelerate wear. Using a standard silicone spray in a food processing environment creates a compliance issue.
BTS has a product for each of these scenarios, formulated specifically for it. That is what over 50 years of professional formulation looks like in practice.
Why WHGT Is Your BTS Lubricants Supplier in the UAE
As an official distributor of BTS Industries in the UAE and wider Gulf region, WHGT supplies the complete BTS lubricants range to industrial facilities, fleet workshops, manufacturing plants, automotive service centres, and maintenance teams across the region.
The UAE’s operating environment makes lubricant selection particularly consequential. Extreme heat accelerates the thermal degradation of lubricants not designed for high temperatures. Coastal salt air promotes corrosion in unprotected mechanisms. Fine sand and dust contaminate wet lubricant films and accelerate abrasive wear. Having the right BTS product for each application means your maintenance programme is working with these conditions rather than against them.
Our team is available to advise on product selection for specific applications and can support workshops, facilities managers, and procurement teams in building a complete lubricant inventory that covers every maintenance need. Get in touch with us at WHGT to discuss your requirements.
