Sil-Glyde Silicone Brake Lubricant
Sil-Glyde® Silicone Brake Lubricant
Give every brake job a noise-free, corrosion-proof finish with Sil-Glyde® Silicone Brake Lubricant — the high-temperature silicone brake grease trusted by pros and DIY mechanics alike. Formulated to dampen vibration and seal out moisture, Sil-Glyde keeps caliper pins, pad backing plates, shims, and slides gliding smoothly well beyond break-in.
Why Sil-Glyde Beats Ordinary Brake Grease
- 425 °F (218 °C) heat resistance – won't burn off under extreme rotor temps
- Moisture-proof & dielectric – blocks water and road salt while protecting electrical wear sensors
- Rubber-safe formula – compatible with EPDM & nitrile seals plus plastics and metals, preventing swelling or pitting
- Noise-damping film – silences squeal by absorbing vibration at brake contact points
- Long-lasting cling – stays put for easy future disassembly and reduced comeback labor
Ideal Applications
| Brake Component | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Caliper slide pins & boots | Prevents sticking, ensures even pad wear |
| Pad ears, backing plates & shims | Eliminates squeal and vibration |
| Drum brake anchor points | Stops chatter, eases adjustment |
| ABS & parking-brake cables | Seals out moisture, maintains flexibility |
Which AGS Brake Lubricant Is Right for You?
| Lubricant | Best For | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Sil-Glyde® (this product) | All-around brake hardware lubrication on any pad type | Original silicone formula, rubber-safe, 425 °F |
| Cerami-Glyde® | Ceramic & semi-metallic pad hardware in high-heat use | Ceramic-fortified silicone for added film strength |
| Generic petroleum brake grease | Not recommended | Can swell EPDM rubber seals and burns off at high temps |
Specifications
- Operating range: -20 °F to 425 °F (-29 °C to 218 °C)
- Color/consistency: Opaque silicone grease
- Package sizes: 4 oz & 8 oz tubes, 12 oz tub, 4 g pouches (100- & 1000-pack)
Brake Lubricant FAQ
Where do I apply brake lubricant?
Apply a thin film to caliper slide pins, the contact points between pad ears and the caliper bracket, backing plates, shims, and drum brake anchor points. Never apply lubricant to the pad friction material or the rotor face.
How much brake lubricant do I need per brake job?
A thin film is all it takes — a single 4 g pouch handles one axle, and a 4 oz tube covers dozens of brake jobs.
Is Sil-Glyde safe on rubber seals and boots?
Yes. Sil-Glyde is a silicone-based formula that will not swell or degrade EPDM and nitrile rubber, which is why it's also safe for caliper pin boots and hydraulic component seals — unlike petroleum-based greases.
Does brake lubricant stop brake squeal?
In most cases, yes. Squeal is vibration — a film of Sil-Glyde between the pad backing plate, shims, and caliper absorbs that vibration at its source. Explore the full Sil-Glyde® line for more silicone lubricant solutions.
