From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“The DANGER signal word here is driven by an aspiration/swallowing hazard classification — an ingestion pathway with no eye-contact relevance. SDS §2 carries no eye irritation or serious eye damage code. SDS §8 only invokes eyewear via generic boilerplate. Eye protection is situational: wear safety glasses when spraying overhead or into confined gaps where mist can fall back toward the face.”

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“Skin irritation is classified at the mixture level — repeated or prolonged contact with the petroleum-distillate and heptane carriers can defat skin and cause irritation. SDS §8 specifies nitrile or butyl rubber gloves when prolonged skin contact is likely. Gloves are warranted for any extended application session, not unconditionally.”

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“No respiratory irritation classification is present at the mixture level — the SDS lists narcotic effects (drowsiness/dizziness) but not respiratory irritation. SDS §8 invokes respiratory protection only via the boilerplate 'in case of insufficient ventilation' trigger. Brief outdoor aerosol use does not require a respirator; an enclosed garage or prolonged application does.”

CarCareTruth's Analysis
Last reviewed May 19, 2026
Reliable on door seals, weatherstripping, window tracks, hinges, and locks — community confirms 4–8 weeks on outdoor rubber. DANGER signal word from an aspiration hazard, not an inhalation risk; the petroleum-distillate carrier warrants gloves for extended use. Keep it off painted panels.
What it is and how it performs
An aerosol silicone lubricant from the Finish Line / DuPont consumer-lubricants line — the modern successor to the legacy "DuPont Teflon Silicone Lubricant" under the same DS0614101 part number. The current can pitches "Non-Stick Ceramic Technology" (boron-nitride in a silicone-oil base), but the Amazon listing copy still references the legacy Teflon additive. The 2021 SDS no longer discloses PTFE in Section 3 — the reformulation is real: today's can is the ceramic-tech build, not the original Teflon one. Standard wide-fan valve, no precision straw. Community feedback across 3,900+ reviews confirms first-application effectiveness on squeaks and sticky tracks, with 4–8 week durability on outdoor rubber.
Keep it off painted panels; silicone residue prevents primer and paint from sticking.
Who should buy — and who should skip it
Best for squeaky door seals, sticky window channels, binding sunroof tracks, and stiff weatherstripping. Skip it for metal-on-metal under load — white lithium grease is the right tool there — and keep it away from brake components.
Safety and environmental impact
DANGER signal word from an aspiration hazard (a swallowing pathway), not an inhalation hazard in normal use. No respiratory irritation code at the mixture level. Skin irritation is classified — gloves for extended sessions; eye protection is situational since no eye-irritation code is present. Use outdoors or with the garage door open: the heptane/petroleum-distillate carrier and propane/butane propellant dissipate rapidly outdoors but can concentrate indoors. No California Prop 65 warning per the 2021 SDS.
Frequently asked questions
Does DuPont Silicone Lubricant still contain Teflon (PTFE)?▾
The Amazon listing copy and feature bullets still reference 'Teflon Fluoropolymer,' but the current 2021 SDS Section 3 no longer discloses PTFE as an ingredient. The 2008-era legacy MSDS listed PTFE at 0.01–2%; the 2021 reformulation appears to have shifted the headline additive from Teflon to a boron-nitride ceramic particle (the 'Non-Stick Ceramic Technology' on the current can). Treat the SDS as the authoritative ingredient document — current cans are scored as PFAS-free.
Why does this product carry a DANGER signal word if it's just a silicone spray?▾
The DANGER label is driven by an aspiration hazard classification — the spray may be fatal if swallowed and enters the airways. That's an ingestion/swallowing pathway, not an inhalation hazard during normal use. Extreme flammability also contributes to the DANGER label as a physical hazard. For a home detailer applying the spray to door seals or window tracks, the practical risk is: don't ingest it, keep it away from ignition sources, and wear gloves for extended sessions.
Is DuPont Silicone Lubricant safe to spray on painted body panels?▾
No. Keep silicone spray off all painted surfaces, primer, and any area that may need touch-up paint or body-panel adhesive bonding. Silicone residue is very difficult to fully degrease and prevents paint and primer from adhering — a known issue in body shop work. Apply only to rubber seals, weatherstripping, window tracks, hinges, locks, and plastic trim slides.
Does this can come with a precision straw?▾
The current Amazon listing imagery does not confirm a permanently attached straw or detachable precision straw on the 14 oz can — it shows a standard wide-fan aerosol valve. If you need a focused stream for tight hinge gaps or weatherstripping channels, a competitor with a confirmed straw nozzle is a better choice.
Does it carry a California Proposition 65 warning?▾
No. SDS §15 (Rev 2, 2021-01-18) explicitly states 'California Proposition 65 List: None.' The Amazon listing also does not display a Prop 65 warning. The petroleum-distillate fractions disclosed in §3 are hydrotreated, which reduces trace impurities that commonly trigger Prop 65 on other petroleum-carrier aerosols.
