FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (BRAIN) — FTI, Inc., which sells lube and cleaning products for industrial, marine and gun use, is entering the bike market with a synthetic lube, grease and a degreaser, under the Tetra Bike Lubricant brand.
The lubes feature the company's fluoropolymer lubricant technology, a synthetic oil formula that the company claims delivers optimum friction-reducing and metal-conditioning properties across a wide range of climates – from sand and mud to humidity and extreme cold.
"When Tetra Bike Lubricant penetrates key friction points and exposure surfaces, friction and wear are reduced, and debris buildup is much less prevalent. The result is a smoother, more efficient ride. Additionally, cleanup is much easier," the company said.
The Tetra®Bike Cleaner Degreaser is a water-based formula designed to remove road grime and salt, as well as pre-existing lubricant and solvent residue. The product also includes an additive to prevent flash rust from forming before parts are re-lubricated. After rinsing and wiping down bike parts, Cleaner Degreaser leaves nearly no residue. The company said the product is gentle on the skin, and generally harmless to non-metal parts and finishes, including rubber, polymers and composite materials. It can be used in ultrasonic machines or parts washers.
The company is seeking distributors and selling dealer direct. Its first products — a 2-ounce. lubricant, 4-ounce cleaner and a grease syringe — each retail for $7.99.
