Choosing between graphite dry lubricant and silicone spray comes down to where the lubricant needs to hold up. Graphite leaves a dry, tack-free film that suits locks, rollers, belts, and threads, while silicone spray stays clear and works on rubber, vinyl, plastic, wood, and metal without being greasy. The four spray options here include two graphite cans and two silicone cans, with listed prices from $6.28 to $19.34.
Quick take
The two product families have different strengths. Graphite sprays dry to a film, which makes them suited to locks, rollers, wheels, gears, chains, hoists, and threaded applications. Silicone sprays stay clear and are marked safe for rubber, vinyl, plastic, wood, metal, and leather, which makes them a go-to for household squeaks and sticking parts. Choose the single graphite can for simple anti-seize jobs, the graphite two-pack for rust protection and water repellency, the Blaster silicone can for a named-brand single container, and the silicone two-pack for extra coverage.

Product notes
5.5 oz. Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray
This graphite spray dries to a dark gray film that is tack free, so it won't feel wet after application. That makes it a sensible pick for gaskets, transfer belts, conveyor belts, rollers, wheels, gears, chains, and hoists, and it also serves as a thread lubricant for anti-seize. The Blaster name is attached to this listing, and it comes as a single container. The limitation is that you only get one can, which matters if you plan to cover a long conveyor line or need a spare on hand. For small maintenance jobs, the single container keeps the choice simple.
5.5 oz. Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray Pack of 2 Effective Lubrication
The two-pack graphite option is the one to look at when you want a back-up can in the same lubricant. It is nonconductive, protects against rust, is safe on any surface, and is water repellant, which makes it useful for locks, rollers, wheels, conveyor belts, gaskets, chains, and hoists in wetter or higher-moisture settings. Because the package includes two cans, you have more product before you need to reorder. The trade-off is the higher listed price in this four-product lineup, so you're making a larger upfront investment for the convenience of a second can.
Blaster Silicone Lubricant Spray 11 Oz. Industrial Strength
This Blaster silicone spray is a clear, non-evaporating formula with a higher concentration of silicone than competitor brands. It is safe and non-staining, and it won't accumulate dust and dirt, which makes it useful in places where a dry, clean finish matters. It suits indoor window panes, door hinges, sticking car doors, lawn equipment, sporting goods, and snow shovels, so it can cover a lot of household jobs. It is also safe on elastomers, metal, plastic, wood, rubber, vinyl, and leather. The limitation is that this listing gives you one canister, not a multi-pack, so you'll need to buy again sooner if you work through a lot of lubricant.
11 Oz. Industrial Strength Silicone Lubricant Spray (Pack of 2
This is the two-canister version of industrial-strength silicone lubricant. The formula is clear, non-evaporating, protects from moisture, and won't oxidize, and it eliminates sticking and squeaking without staining. It is intended for the same family of materials as the Blaster silicone spray, including elastomers, metal, plastic, wood, rubber, vinyl, and leather. Because it is a pack of two, you get a second container for larger jobs or for keeping one in the garage and one in the house. The limitation is that the title does not name a brand, so if you want the Blaster name specifically, the single-can Blaster listing is the one that states it.
