What is the difference between paraffin and silicone. If I use silicone where I should use paraffin,will it hurt the belt?

I suggest that you view the instructions that came with your treadmill to determine what to use. As to specifically answering your question --- several other persons have done that, and a query using your internet browser should come up with some answers.

Paraffin is a synthetic wax made from petroleum. It is sold in blocks in grocery stores for sealing jars in home canning. Silicon is an element and is used extensively as a lubricant. The treadmill manufacturer recommends silicon lube. The stuff that comes with this product is a liquid about the viscosity of pancake syrup.the manufacturer's warranty does not cover lubricating with paraffin. There must be a reason.

I don't know. I defer to either your treadmill's manufacturer or a repair facility. My treadmill came with a paraffin cake stick, but it eventually broke. I have used this new stick only once, so I don't know what the long-range effect will be.

I get this for my Nordic track treadmill that I have had for years. It calls for a 3-in-1 oil. Sorry

nothing but silicone listed on the package. Tip from my experience lubricate the platform freely not just the belt. The product works well

Not exactly sure what a belly belt is, but I use the creme with this North American Healthcare JB5702 Adjustable Slimming Belt found here on amazon North American Healthcare JB5702 Adjustable Slimming Belt The creme really really heats up. I have used other cremes that just get kind of warm, this one borders on HOT.

Hi,Not sure...I didn't use mine, but I do wrap my sons belts around and use a staple from a staple gun on the back to hold in place. Works real well and doesn't hurt the material at all.

Hi, Karen! This is the first time I've bought this product, I've been keeping the parading well wrapped and in a Zip lock bag. So far, I had no issues. As for the paraffin I melted for my hands, I have used it 3 times already. Use your common sense here...keep the lid on when not using it and in a cool place . You will know when to replace it, especially if you are the only using it. Hope this was helpful!

Hi. I did not use the string that goes on the top of my belly. On the back part there is a second string attached to the front part, so stick them together as you want and do not separate them when you put it on. Use it as a belt - wide part on your lower back, small part on the bottom of your belly. But I would recommend it to wear it only when you are standing or walking - when you sit - it may push your belly and make you uncomfortable.

I recommend this spray: Kellogg's 57500 Pure Silicon. It is 100% silicone and won't damage the belt. I use the spray once per month and have not had any issues after 13 mons and ~940 miles.

As an engineer, I dont have a technical answer for this question. Having said that, how does it matter to a person ironing a garment? Not much difference in normal usage. However, if you iron over something such as a forgotten piece of plastic in a pocket that melts and sticks to the iron, ceramic is easier to clean. Other than that, I don't see a difference. As someone who has spent some time trying to clean out stuck-on burnt plastic on iron surfaces, this difference made the choice for me.

Silicon, but the new walking belt I purchased says do not use silicon on this belt. So if you purchase a new walking belt--check to see if silicon is recommended!

Silicone is food safe and much less toxic than plastic. I am looking for a cup with a silicone lid!

I didn't notice that with my pan. Be sure you get the HIC brand. It's all silicone and not a mix of other "stuff."

Disclosure: I work for a competing brand of shoe care. I am responding to your question because I have a different opinion to that given in the previous response to your question. When your shoe, boot and/or garment has a high tech, air permeable membrane like Gore-Tex it is not a good idea to use anything with silicone because the silicone clogs the pores of the leather, fabric, and anything it is applied to. When you clog these pores anywhere you mess up the whole air permeable system that includes all layers: leather, lining, socks, clothing, etc. Shoe care needs to work with the system too: waterproofers, polishes, anything else that coats surfaces has to allow air to circulate.

There are silicone products made for lubing treadmills. I use one about every month. Because it's hard to get far under the belt with a spray, I got an applicator which fits between the belt and the board. Spray also wastes a lot.

Mine has a rubber gasket. Not sure why you would need silicone unless they forgot the gasket.

Silicone is dielectric, but greases can be compounded differently to achieve different thicknesses. This stuff is thinner than my tube of silicone dielectric grease.

Hello! I checked the label and doesn't say anything about silicone. Good luck!

It's silicon. I contacted JAD Fitness directly through their "contact us" page on their website to ask this exact question. They got right back with me. See their response below...
