Is this 100% pure silicone oil? Does anybody know if it contains impurities such as petroleum distillates that may damage the belt?

All I can tell you is that this is the specific lubricant specified for my Horizon treadmill. I can't imagine Horizon recommending a lubricant that would damage their treadmill. My package is exactly as pictured above and it works as it should for my treadmill. tip: to see exactly how to apply, look up lubricating instructions for your treadmill on Youtube. It's an excellent how-to source.

I don't know a percentage but very little to none. Most of the can is solvent and propellant. Once the solvent evaporates, there is only a trace amount of silicone left on the surface. As a mater of fact, I had Amazon replace my first can as I thought had CRC left out the silicone. This is not what I was looking for as this seems to be a very specialized spray and will not really lube anything. This is what I was looking for --> CRC Heavy Duty Water Based Silicone Lubricant.

I don't think this is good for plastic. The description only mentions metal-on-metal and it didn't work on my metal-on-plastic application (was worse than before I applied it). One of the previous answers is a quote for Silione lubricant, but this does not contain silicone. I have actually ordered some silicone lubricant to try that, but in the meantime I had better luck with the oil from my hair clippers.

First let's qualify my response, I am an electrical engineer not a chemistry engineer. My personal observation and use is: The oil doesn't have an odor (something I noted in reviews about other brands) and would be a giveaway if olive oil, or such, were in it, the viscosity is too high to have been diluted with any cooking oils I have seen. It's pretty close to colorless/clear. I hope this helps a bit.

No, it's not a pure argan oil. The first 2 ingredients are SILICONES (#3 is the actual oil).

Orgainic illipe, mango, kokum,and shea butters, grapefruit, vegetable derived vitamins A, D & E, squalene, love. Nothing else. These are exactly how the ingredients are listed on the container. No silicone. I can't answer the 2nd question, but a little goes a long way.

It says on the label that it is 100% pure certified organic argan oil. Feels like an oil without additives too.

I purchased the Lifespan Fitness Silicone along with my manual treadmill. To date I haven't had to use any lubricant. I think the silicone lubricant would be better than WD 40 if you ever need a lubricant. My Phoenix treadmill runs just fine with no lubricant.

It is 100% pure borage oil. There are no other ingredients. I own a bottle and can vouch that it is purely borage oil.

It doesn't say on the packaging. All I could find online was that it is food grade. I've used it on rubber o-rings, but never tried it on silicone o-rings (which I've read is not something you want to use food grade silicone to lubricate).

I did a live chat this morning with support at Nordic Track and they gave me the part #219170 which is very close to the number you have. Support service says it's not silicone and they don't recommend silicone, but from other reviews it seems there is lots of confusion about this. Another place I read it is water based silicone. Don't know if that makes any difference. I am going to order the ICON product because it's what Nordic Track recommends. However their site would cost considerably more... $43.37

It's silicon. I contacted JAD Fitness directly through their "contact us" page on their website to ask this exact question. They got right back with me. See their response below...

Four items totaled are listed on the can. (1) Hydrotreated light naphtha is a light petroleum. (2) 1,1Difuorethane is a propellant listed as safe to use by the EPA for food. (3) Polydmethylsiloxane is a type of silicone. (4) n-Hexane 110-54-3 is a crude oil product that evaporates very quickly into the air and is used to extract vegetable oils from crops like soybeans. I use this product on my Cabela's meatgrinder after I've cleaned it, dried it, and before I put it away. It keeps away the rust while keeping the product lubricated between uses. Also never use this product near an open flame as it is very flammable.

I recommend this spray: Kellogg's 57500 Pure Silicon. It is 100% silicone and won't damage the belt. I use the spray once per month and have not had any issues after 13 mons and ~940 miles.

I know it is Hexand free. I could not find one that said organic. The reviews I read said it was a great carrier oil. I got it to use with my essential oil kit. Everyone I talked to said to get this one. I did find the coconut organic oil that I needed also. Hope I helped some..

nothing but silicone listed on the package. Tip from my experience lubricate the platform freely not just the belt. The product works well

I don't see why it couldn't, this product doesn't contain any silicones or linseed oil or petroleum products. To be sure however, I would contact the manufacturer at: http://www.howardproducts.com/ and ask them.
