Introduction
SGM494 is water-repellent, work-stable, non-melting,
tasteless and odourless silicone grease for electrical
insulation purposes; it may also be used for potable water
supplies.
Key Features :
- Work stable after 24 hours at 200ºC
- Good low load lubrication
- Low bleed and weight loss
- Low level of toxicity
Typical Applications :
It is a very versatile grease that has been used
successfully in many applications such as:
- Sealing electrical systems against water ingress
- Prevention of corona discharge
- Protection of insulation against corona discharge
- Potting of small electronic components
- Lubrication of electric cables through conduits
- Screw threads lubrication to prevent sticking
and corrosion
- Packing of mineral fibre glands to prevent sticking
- Laboratory stop-cock lubrication
- Vacuum sealing of ground glass joints
Effect on Materials
SGM494 has little effect on metals and most plastics. It
may, after prolonged contact with plasticised rubbers and
plastics, have a slight effect due to plasticiser migration.
