Food Industry Electrical-Insulating Grease
Use this grease in areas where there is the possibility of contact with food. Also known as dielectric grease, it lubricates and protects electrical systems. It resists water and corrosion. This grease can be used on most rubber and plastic.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.
Dielectric strength measures the maximum voltage a grease can withstand without losing its insulating properties. The higher the dielectric strength, the better its quality as an insulator.
Grease that is NSF Registered H1 and grease that meets FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3570 are rated for incidental contact with food. Grease that meets NSF/ANSI 51 and FDA Compliant 21 CFR 175.300 are rated for direct contact with food. Grease that meets NSF/ANSI 61 is certified for use with components that come into contact with drinking water. Grease that meets ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, will produce almost no volatile emissions, even in a high vacuum. They’re a good choice for use around sensitive electronics.
Grease lubricates most efficiently below the maximum temperature. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.
Dielectric strength measures the maximum voltage a grease can withstand without losing its insulating properties. The higher the dielectric strength, the better its quality as an insulator.
Grease lubricates most efficiently below the maximum temperature. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

Grease for Electrical Contacts
Lubricate, clean, deoxidize, and prevent corrosion on electrical contacts to improve their performance.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.
Grease with quartz has quartz particles to assist oxide breakup. Grease with copper has copper particles to assist oxidize breakup and resist abrasion on surfaces that require conductivity. Grease with aluminum is for use on aluminum parts that won’t come in contact with each other. Grease with graphite has graphite particles to absorb and dissipate heat. Grease with only deoxidizer provides the best lubrication and is for use on clean surfaces.
Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

Penetrating Lubricants for Electrical Applications
Protect electrical components—these lubricants insulate and block moisture, preventing electrical malfunctions. They cut through dirt, grease, and rust to clean connections and relays, leaving behind a thin film for long-lasting protection.
Dielectric strength measures the maximum voltage a lubricant can withstand without losing its insulating properties. The higher the dielectric strength, the better its quality as an insulator.
These lubricants cannot be sold outside of the United States due to product labeling requirements.

Ceramic Adhesives
Often used for bonding and repair on exhaust systems, diesel engines, and gas turbines, these adhesives withstand high temperatures and provide excellent electrical insulation. Pastes will not drip or sag while hardening on a vertical surface, while thick liquids flow into small spaces and are easy to spread.

Electrical Insulating Varnish
Protect motor winding wire, transformers, and other metal electrical parts from oils, chemicals, and moisture with these abrasion- and wear-resistant coatings. They are solvent based, so they dry quickly. Choose a varnish with a dielectric strength that’s greater than the voltage of the electrical equipment it protects.
Varnish in a bottle includes an application brush. The brush is also good for touchups.
Clear varnish leaves a transparent film so components can be inspected. Red and green varnish stand out for identification when used to coat wire.
Varnish that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by product labeling requirements.
