DOWSIL™ 5 Silicone Compound 150gm (5.3oz) Tube

Dowsil 5 Silicone Compound is a dielectric compound used on insulators and bushings; as a lubricant for high-current switches, grease-like silicone paste with phenylmethyl-based fluid.

Features:

• Nonconductive
• Water repellent
• Long lasting
• Easy to apply
• Helps prevent formation of conductive paths

Applications:

• Applications where improved metal-to-metal lubricity (compared to other Dow Corning® brand silicone compounds) 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 (can be injected using a grease gun with a needle-type nozzle)
• To help prevent oxidation and corrosion on contacts and band-tightening screws of socket-type watt-hour meters
