Silicone Lubricants

Silicone greases - characteristics

Silicone greases are greases that have silicone oil as their base oil. They have good resistance to high temperatures and moisture and are water-resistant. Silicone greases are also resistant to many chemicals and do not shrink when dry, making them a good choice as a sealant in a variety of applications. They are non-toxic and do not contain mineral oils, making them safe to use in a variety of applications.

Silicone greases are often used in the automotive, electronics, construction and many other industries. In many situations, silicone seals can last for many years. And what is very important - silicone seals are slightly flexible, so they behave a bit like rubber. Thanks to this, they can be used in places where there are strong vibrations.

Silicone greases come in many different forms, such as tube grease, jar grease, or spray. Depending on the accessibility of the part you need to lubricate, choose a grease that is easy and safe to apply to the part. A big advantage of silicone greases is that they are electrically non-conductive and can do double duty as non-curing sealants and lubricants.

Application of silicone greases

Silicone grease is a chemical agent that is widely used in many areas, such as automotive, mechanics and food industry. It is characterized by high resistance to high temperatures, moisture, chemicals and shrinkage after drying and their non-toxicity. The lack of mineral oils makes them great for contact with elastomers and plastics.

The main applications of silicone greases are the lubrication of rubber and plastic.

Its properties determine its use in specific situations:

• Its strong tendency to displace water makes it an excellent protection against freezing.
• Its excellent thermal resistance allows it to be used to seal and protect metal, rubber and plastic surfaces near furnaces, pipes and hot engines.
• Silicone grease eliminates hinge squeaking, protects metal parts from corrosion, prevents roller shutters or drawers from sticking to guides, and protects rubber seals.
• Its convenient application form allows it to be used even in hard-to-reach places. This grease is a very useful agent that can be used in many different applications.

Here are some examples of uses for silicone greases:

1. Sealing connections. Silicone greases are often used as a sealant in various applications because they are resistant to high temperatures and moisture and are waterproof. They can be used to seal hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical connections.
2. Corrosion Protection. Silicone greases are resistant to many chemicals and do not shrink when dry, making them a good choice for corrosion protection in a variety of applications.
3. Automotive industry. Silicone greases are often used as a sealant in the automotive industry, where they are used to seal joints and protect against corrosion. They are also often used as a lubricant for lubricating valves and other components of car engines, but also for lubricating rubber parts such as door seals or hinges.
4. Electronics Industry. Silicone greases are often used in industry as a dielectric agent to prevent breakdown. They are also used as a lubricant in various electronic machines and devices.
5. Construction Industry. Silicone greases are often used in the construction industry to seal joints and protect against corrosion, and as a lubricant in various construction machines and equipment.

Silicone greases should not be confused with the specially separated Silicone Lubricant Compounds, which are described in a different category.
