En route to work today I stopped off at Advance Auto Parts<\/a> and picked up some house brand Marine Grease to use when reassembling my bike rack after fixing the hitch retention piece<\/a>. I wanted to find the MSDS<\/a> for this product so I could try to figure out what materials this product is compatible with, but after the Advance Auto Parts MSDS Page<\/a> didn’t return anything when searching for the product (SKU #A2953013) I called the listed phone number and asked for help.<\/p>\n

The person who answered the phone was very helpful and — despite not being able to find the product by SKU — found the MSDS and emailed it to me. You can get a copy of it here<\/a>. Embedded in the email was the path I:\\M9\\OLD WORLD INDUSTRIES\\ELRMA14OZ.PDF<\/tt>, which I find interesting as it shows both that the company has a simple directory structure full of MSDS, and that this product is actually made by Old World Industries<\/a>, the parent company for PEAK<\/a> and a number of other automotive companies. Per a recent press release:<\/p>\n

Old World Industries, LLC is among the largest privately-held companies competing in the automotive aftermarket. The Northbrook, Illinois-based company enjoys a presence in various consumer product markets in more than 30 countries worldwide. Old World’s brands include a full line of PEAK\u00ae Performance Products including Antifreeze, Motor Oil, Washer Fluid, Electronics and Wiper Blades; SIERRA\u00ae Antifreeze; Fleet Charge\u00ae Fully Formulated Coolant; Final Charge\u00ae Heavy Duty Global Extended Life Antifreeze\/Coolant; SmartBLADE\u2122 Premium Wiper Blades; HERCULINER\u00ae Truck Bed Liner Kits; and BlueDEF\u00ae Diesel Exhaust Fluid. For more information, please visit http:\/\/www.peakauto.com<\/a>.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Comparing this product’s MSDS<\/a> to the one from Advance Auto Parts SKU #A2953013<\/a> shows them to be identical (including the contact person and his phone number), save for some slight formatting and naming changes. Based on this I think this $3.99 tube of Advance Auto Parts-brand Marine Grease is the same as PEAK\u00ae Performance Synthetic Marine Grease<\/a>. Thus these<\/a> should also be the specs for the Advance Auto Parts grease.<\/p>\n

Isn’t research via MSDS great? Digging into these lets one peer behind the labels on lots of products…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
