Silicone is a widely used material in the aerospace industry due to its sealing properties stability across an extreme temperature range durability sound dampening and anti vibration qualities and naturally flame retardant properties.
Silicone grease temperature range.
Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment leaving it to run dry.
Enhanced with ptfe solid lubricant.
The usefulness of the grease over time depends on the package not just the thickening system or the type of base oil.
Will not react with rubber or plastic.
Grease paste could be separated into different performance range like different temperature range resistance thermal conductivity range food contact range optical range.

Pros this high temperature grease is plastic and rubber safe.
For instance silica has a dropping point of 2 732ºf 1 500ºc as one extreme example.
Reduces caliper noise and sticking.
Silicone grease sometimes called dielectric grease is a waterproof grease made by combining a silicone oil with a thickener.
It contains molybdenum ptfe and graphite for an extreme temperature range of 40 to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
Non curing silicone compound.
However because grease performance depends on a combination of materials this does not represent the useful temperature range.
Temperature range from 40 to 500.
Super lube silicone lubricating grease with syncolon ptfe 3 oz tube.
Viscosity and thermally stable.
Maintaining extreme functionality is paramount for passenger safety in the aerospace industry so each.
Good oxidation resistance good plastics rubber compatibility good water resistance high temperature performance wide temperature range.
Composition family silicone container size range 1 gal.
Dupont molykote 55 o ring grease is silicone based so it can be used with most rubbers and plastics.
Compare with synthetic oil base paste grease silicone oil.
Molykote 44 high temp.
Most commonly the silicone oil is polydimethylsiloxane pdms and the thickener is amorphous fumed silica using this formulation silicone grease is a translucent white viscous paste with exact properties dependent on the type and proportion of the components.
Typical properties silicone grease paste have good sealing performance and good lubrication performance.
Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range.
