This system utilizes an advanced silicone lubricant that is compatible with metal, rubber, and plastic. It features:

High electrical conductivity
Excellent thermal conductivity
Provides protection against wear
Remains stable in a wide temperature range; -70 to 485°F (-57 to 252°C)
Protects against moisture and corrosion
Very low viscosity vs. temperature change

Typical Applications:
CircuitWorks Silver Conductive Grease may be used for high and low power applications including:

Lubrication of Substation Switches or Circuit Breakers
Heat Dissipation from Transformers
Low or Medium Speed Sliding Contacts
Static Grounding on Seals or O-Rings
Extending the Life of Rotating Switches

Compatibility:
The Silver Conductive Grease provided by SPI Supplies is generally compatible with metal, rubber, and plastic. As with any compound, compatibility with substrate should be determined on a non-critical area prior to use.

Usage Instructions:
Read and become familiar with MSDS carefully prior to use.

Surface Preparation:
For best results, clean parts to be lubricated with an appropriate surface cleaner order to remove any surface contamination which may prevent adequate material contact.

Thinning:
Do not attempt to thin.

Application:
Syringe: Remove cap and gently press on plunger. Apply the grease directly to surface or use application tip.

Bulk: Apply with brush, spatula, or similar device.

Clean-Up:
An appropriate cleaner, compatible with the substrate surface, can be used to remove trace residues. Excess material may also be removed using a wipe such as the SPI Lint free cotton wipers. Silver particles may stain porous materials.

Warning:
To avoid shock or possible fire, stop power to any system before applying conductive grease. Insure positive and negative contacts remain isolated. Improper use can result in shorting, arcing, or shock.
