Hey Guys, so I have 3 Vitronics wave solder machines to care for (2 x 6622 and a Delta 5) and they're in need of some TLC. One thing they look to be badly in need of is some conveyor chain work. I found a thread here on chain cleaning, but wanted to know what you guys use for lubrication.

I was looking for something that'll handle 500F but is also environmentally friendly (or as close to it as I can get). The WD-40 Specialist Roller Chain Lubricant looks interesting, but I don't see anything in THEIR datasheets that confirms vendors claims that it'll hold up to lead free wave solder temps. So, what do you guys use?

Thanks.
