German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci / penetrating grease
German term or phrase: Standfestigkeit auf Glasplatte
Selling-point of a lubricant described as penetrating, adhesive grease. There's no more relevant context.

I'm thinking of something like "Does not run on glass surfaces."
