NEW CHAMPION® CHAIN LUBE ALL-WEATHER WATERPROOF FORMULA

PROTECTS ON/OFF ROAD, STANDS UP TO EXTREME CONDITIONS

Clinton, Missouri – June 10, 2005 – Champion® Brands introduces Champion® Chain Lube, a proprietary all-weather white lithium spray formula that  provides complete coverage and sets up as a premium grease.

Designed for superior protection of high-speed chains, o-rings and roller chains in the toughest on/off-road motorcycle, bike and ATV applications, it’s also the ideal universal extreme pressure lubricant for automotive, farm and home use, according to Tom Minner, President, Champion Performance Products, a division of Champion Brands.  See www.championbrands.com.

Originally available only to racing professionals, Champion Chain Lube is the latest addition to the popular Champion Performance Products line that bears the globally recognized red and black Champion “Bow Tie” logo.  The 14-ounce aerosol (MSRP $7.95), which rolls out nationally this summer, is currently available at select Wal-Mart stores.

Champion Chain Lube repels mud and water washout, resists thermal breakdown and freezing, and provides advanced protection against corrosion and friction.  The sling-resistant formula will not harm steel, other metal alloys or non-metal chain/gear sets, says Minner.

Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Clinton, Missouri, Champion Brands produces and blends more than 300 products including fuel, oil and engine additives and hi-tech lubricants for the automotive, heavy truck, agriculture, marine and specialty markets.  Visit www.championbrands.com and click on Champion Performance Additives.
