- 0.1 - 1.0% (mist oil), 0.5 - 1.5% (Chain lubes), 0.5% (Way lube)
- Application information
A starting treatment level for a way lube is 1.0%. For chain lubes the treatment range is 1.0% to 3.0%. Minimization of hydrocarbon aerosol escape from mist-lubricated and pneumatic equipment requires about 1.5% in the mist oil. The best treatment level for greases is left to the formulator. Since there are no standardized test methods for these properties, the required treatment level is best determined by experimentation by the user.

Safety & Health
- Safety and Handling
Due to the viscosity of Functional V-178, elevated temperature (about 150°F (65°C) can facilitate handling, but temperatures over 200°F (95°C) should be avoided. Where higher temperatures are encountered, Functional V-188 is recommended instead. Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with the base oil. The tackiness of the resulting lubricant can be lessened by shearing, so mechanical shearing during blending and handling should be minimized.
