Silicone Grease?

Greases are used where a mechanism can only be lubricated infrequently and where a lubricating oil would not stay in position. Petroleum based greases such as Lithium-grease is the most commonly used in automotive field currently. But they easily damage Rubber and Plastic components and cannot withstand above at 120°C.
Silicone grease is a Synthetic waterproof grease which can easily withstand upto 400 °C.
Why Silicone grease?
- Pure White color
- Not soluble in water
- Excellent resistance to oxygen, ozone and UV light
- Chemically inert and not react with other chemicals
- Highly corrosion inhibitor
- High slippery
- don’t attract dirt and grit
- does not swell or soften the rubber
- Increase the life of Rubbers and Plastics
- Melting point off Silicone is 1400°c and silicone greases easily holds upto 400°c
- Does not harden or dry out even after 1000 Hours continuously at 200°C
- Non flammable
- Low toxicity
- High temperature-stability
- Very high surface resistivity even under moisture condensing conditions
- Has very good heat-transfer characteristics
- Anti-foaming
- Synthetic based and Not Hydro-Carbon or Petroleum based
Drawbacks:
Automotive paint shops must avoid the presence of all silicones, as they may cause "fish eyes," small, circular craters that appear in the finish.
Where we can apply Silicone Grease in a Car?
1. Door Lock Mechanism
2. To lubricate Door Glass Runners
3. Door Hinges
