  • Key Properties

    NLGI Grade 3, translucent light gray, used primarily for insulators and high current switches given it has the highest dielectric strength.

  • Applications

    Applications where improved metal-to-metal lubricity (compared to other MOLYKOTE® brand silicone compounds) is needed. To help prevent arcing and flashovers on insulators and bushings. As a contact Lubricant on high-voltage equipment. To lubricate static and dynamic O-ring seals in hot-melt adhesive equipment. To help prevent rust and corrosion on insulator threads and bolts; also helps in removal of insulators and hardware for replacement. As a water-repellent filling material to help prevent moisture from traveling inside the rubber jacket of service entrance cable (can be injected using a Grease gun with a needle-type nozzle). To help prevent oxidation and corrosion on contacts and band-tightening screws of socket-type watt-hour meters.
