Use this grease in areas where there is the possibility of contact with food. Also known as dielectric grease, it lubricates and protects electrical systems. It resists water and corrosion. This grease can be used on most rubber and plastic.

Grease lubricates most efficiently below the maximum temperature.

Nonmelting Grease—Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

1 NLGI Grade—NLGI 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste.

2 NLGI Grade—NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

ASTM E595—Grease that meets ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, will produce almost no volatile emissions, even in a high vacuum. It's a good choice for use around sensitive electronics.

FDA Compliant 21 CFR 175.300—Grease that meets FDA Compliant 21 CFR 175.300 is rated for direct contact with food.

FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3570—Grease that meets FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3570 is rated for incidental contact with food.

NSF Registered H1—Grease that is NSF Registered H1 is rated for incidental contact with food.

NSF/ANSI 51—Grease that meets NSF/ANSI 51 is rated for direct contact with food.

NSF/ANSI 61—Grease that meets NSF/ANSI 61 is certified for use with components that come into contact with drinking water.

Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength measures the maximum voltage a grease can withstand without losing its insulating properties. The higher the dielectric strength, the better its quality as an insulator.

Clean Room Grease

Highly pure and with no additives to contaminate sensitive environments, use this grease in clean rooms and electronic assembly workstations. It is nonconductive, chemically inert, and can withstand extreme temperature swings. This long-lasting grease also has an indefinite shelf life.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range.

2 NLGI Grade—NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

Nonmelting—Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

Penetrating Lubricants for Electrical Applications

Protect electrical components—these lubricants insulate and block moisture, preventing electrical malfunctions. They cut through dirt, grease, and rust to clean connections and relays, leaving behind a thin film for long-lasting protection.

Cannot Be Sold Outside United States—These lubricants cannot be sold outside the United States due to product labeling requirements.

Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength measures the maximum voltage a lubricant can withstand without losing its insulating properties. The higher the dielectric strength, the better its quality as an insulator.
