👉 Tape fluid, also known as tape lubricant or tape lubricant paste, is a specialized lubricant designed for use in high-speed spindle applications, particularly in CNC machines, lathes, and other precision machining tools. It is typically a viscous, paste-like substance composed of a carrier material, usually silicone-based or polyurethane, mixed with additives such as friction modifiers, anti-wear agents, and sometimes lubricating oils. These additives enhance the fluid's performance by reducing friction and wear between moving parts, improving heat dissipation, and extending the lifespan of the machinery. Tape fluid is applied as a thin, even layer onto the spindle and its bearings, providing superior lubrication compared to traditional grease or oil, making it ideal for applications requiring low friction and high precision.
