MOLYKOTE 5 Compound 150g one Tube 5.3oz New Molykote Package & Old Dow Corning Package DC-5 are the Same Product Greaselike material containing an inert amorphous silica filler in combination with selected dimethyl and phenylmethyl silicone fluids. This nonconductive compound is used primarily for applications requiring compatibility with rubber, metal, and plastic. NLGI Grade 3, translucent light gray, used primarily for insulators and high current switches given it has the highest dielectric strength. Applications where improved metal-to-metal lubricity 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. To help prevent oxidation and corrosion on contacts and band-tightening screws of socket-type watt-hour meters. Electrical Valves, packings, seals & O-rings Performance Benefits Nonconductive Water-repellent Long-lasting Easy to apply Helps prevent formation of conductive paths Dielectric Good corrosion protection Good oxidation resistance Good water resistance High temperature performance Low temperature performance Wide temperature range No intentional polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) Product Details Technology: Silicone NLGI Grade: 3 Thickener Silica Low Temperature: -54 °C High Temperature: 232 °C Color: Translucent Light Gray
