Lubricant Packaging Problems

Packaging is easy to overlook until a bottle leaks or a dispenser stops working.

Check that caps are fully closed and pumps are locked when the package provides a locking mechanism.

Follow manufacturer care guidance for the dispenser and avoid modifying the pump mechanism.

Keep the bottle opening clean according to product directions before closing it for storage.

Do not transfer product into an unidentified container if doing so would separate it from its label and manufacturer information.

Store bottles according to label directions and consider secondary containment where leaks would create a problem.
