In the lubricants adhesives sealants tapes aisle, you're often choosing between two very different films: a dry graphite coating that stays put and a wet silicone film that stays slippery. The Blaster 5.5 oz. Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray and the Blaster 11 oz. Silicone Lubricant Spray Industrial Strength both come from the same brand, but they are built for different jobs. This head-to-head compares their listed prices, container sizes, and intended uses so you can pick the can that matches your surface and operating conditions.
Quick Verdict
For quick-drying, high-temperature and low-load jobs where you don't want oil or grease residue, the graphite spray is the clear winner. For a general household lubricant that works on metal, plastic, wood, rubber, vinyl, and leather and stays clear, the silicone spray offers more versatility and a larger can. Decide by asking whether you need a dry film or a clear wet film.

Where Each Product Wins
- Choose the Blaster 5.5 oz. Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray if you need a dark gray, tack-free film that works as a general maintenance lube on gaskets, transfer belts, conveyor belts, locks, rollers, wheels, gears, chains, hoists, and as a thread lubricant/anti-seize. Its dry film is also suited for high-temperature and low-load applications.
- Choose the Blaster 11 oz. Silicone Lubricant Spray Industrial Strength if you want a clear, non-evaporating lubricant that eliminates squeaks and sticking on household items like window panes, door hinges, car doors, lawn equipment, sporting goods, and snow shovels. It's safe for elastomers, metal, plastic, wood, rubber, vinyl, and leather.
5.5 oz. Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray
The Blaster 5.5 oz. Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray leaves a dark gray, tack-free film that's designed to reduce wear and extend equipment life. The description points to gaskets, transfer and conveyor belts, rollers, wheels, gears, chains, hoists, and locks, plus thread lubricant/anti-seize duty. It is also recommended for high-temperature and low-load applications, which makes it a fit for industrial or shop use where a wet lubricant can attract grime or run off. The 5.5 oz. can is compact, and the graphite film is visible, so it may not suit surfaces where a clear coating is required. If you need a dry, high-temp coating that stays where you spray it, this can is the one.
Blaster Silicone Lubricant Spray 11 Oz. Industrial Strength
The Blaster Silicone Lubricant Spray 11 Oz. Industrial Strength is a clear, non-evaporating formula with a higher concentration of silicone, which the description says keeps it working longer while it lubricates. It is safe and non-staining, and it won't accumulate dust and dirt as it eliminates squeaks and sticking. That makes it a strong household pick for indoor window panes, door hinges, car doors, lawn equipment, sporting goods, and snow shovels. The same formula preserves, lubricates, and protects elastomers, metal, plastic, wood, rubber, vinyl, and leather. Because it stays wet rather than drying to a film, it isn't the right choice when you need a dry, tack-free coating. The 11 oz. can gives you more volume for a lower listed price, but confirm your job needs a wet silicone film.
Final Choice by Use Case
For a dry, heat-resistant lubricant on gaskets, belts, chains, locks, or threads, reach for the 5.5 oz. Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray. For a clear, general-purpose lubricant that protects rubber, vinyl, leather, metal, wood, and plastic around the house, the Blaster Silicone Lubricant Spray 11 Oz. Industrial Strength is the lower-price, larger-can option. If you're unsure, match the lubricant to the film: choose graphite for a dry black coating and silicone for a clear wet coating.
