Greases and Fluid Compounds

Shin-Etsu Silicone Grease products are made by blending additives and fillers such as metal soaps into a silicone fluid base. They have superior thermo-oxidative stability and moisture resistance over a wide temperature range. These products are used mainly for lubrication of moving parts.

Shin-Etsu Silicone Fluid Compounds are grease-like products made by blending silica or metal powders into a silicone fluid base. They have excellent thermo-oxidative stability, electrical properties, and water repellency over a wide temperature range. These products are used primarily for electrical insulation, sealing, water repellency, and as a thermal interface material, mainly on moving parts.

Both Shin-Etsu Silicone grease and fluid compounds are used extensively in transport vehicles, electronics and machinery in a range of industries to improve the durability, safety and reliability of key equipment.

Features and Advantages of Silicone Greases and Fluid Compounds

Resistance to heat and cold
The silicone fluid base oil is highly resistant to heat and cold, offering the following advantages:
  • High drop point
  • Low oil separation and volatility
  • Good Thermo-oxidative stability
  • Little variation in consistency
  • Won't solidify even at -50°C
Superior moisture resistance
Resistant to moisture and humidity. When left in water for long periods, greases whiten on the surface but there is virtually no internal change.
Safe to Handle
The silicone fluid base oil is physiologically inert, so these products pose almost no risk to living organisms.
Effective in small amounts
Even a small amount of Shin-Etsu Silicone Greases and Fluid Compounds impart good performance to instruments and equipment.
Reduced contact faults
Our line up includes products with greatly reduced content of volatile low-molecular-weight silicone, which can be a cause of contact faults.
Other Properties
Other properties include shear stability, radiation resistance, good electrical properties and water repellency, and encompasses non corrosive properties.

Quality, Storage, and Usage

1.Greases and fluid compounds should be stirred thoroughly with a spatula or like tool before use.
2.For best results, the substrate surface should be cleaned and dried before application.
3.Don't mix products presented here with any other oil or grease.
4.Open containers should be resealed and kept away from dust or dirt.
5.Greases and fluid components must be stored in a cool and dark place.
