6. SILICONE GREASES
Dow Corning® 5 Compound: A dielectric compound used on insulators and bushings; and as a lubricant for
high current switches.
Special characteristics – nonconductive; water repellant; helps prevent formation of conductive paths.
Applications include protecting transmission insulators, distribution line insulators, power substation bushings,
pole top disconnect switches, insulator threads and bolts, service entrance cable, meters, etc.
Dow Corning® 4 Compound: Dielectric moisture barrier on electrical equipment. Medium consistency,
translucent white, grease like, moisture and ozone resistance silicone paste.
Applications include lubricating and moisture proofing ignition systems; disconnect junctions, electrical assemblies
and terminals, cable connectors and battery terminals, lubrication of plastic and rubber O-rings.
Molykote® 111 Compound: General-purpose silicone based O-ring and valve lubricant used in electrical
applications due to its high dielectric strength. Used on gaskets to supplement sealing and provide a release coating
on transformer gaskets. Molykote® 111 is also used during the assembly of ‘O’ rings and oil seals to prevent oil
leakages due to degradation of ‘O’ rings and seals in harsh environments. Once applied on ‘O’ rings and oil seals, it
forms a protective barrier between the rubber and the media (oil, fuels, hot water, dilute chemicals), and does not
allow the rubber to become brittle. It acts as a rubber lubricant and provides a better sealing effect.
Dow Corning® 3099 HVIC (High Voltage Insulator Coating) Compound:
Protective compound for electrical insulators. Provides high level of flashover
resistance under conditions of high voltage stress, even after extended periods of
exposure to ultraviolet light. Grey, opaque, grease-like silicone compound.
Extends service life of insulators by maximizing performance in contact with high
voltage corona stress, ultraviolet light, water erosion and particulate matter. Non-
tracking; arc and flashover resistant; good adhesion, and easy to use.
Dielectric strength, 50 mils thick: 285 volts/mil
Arc resistance, time to erode 1/8” coating at 2.5 kv: 800 minutes
Molykote® 41 Grease: For protecting power substation switches and reducing insulator RF noises. A medium
consistency silicone material designed to maintain relatively low resistance electrical contact between sliding metal-
to-metal contacts, such as knife-type disconnect switches. Provides continuous electrical path between contact
surfaces which must be free to move, such as ball and socket connections of power insulators which, if permitted
can give rise to radio frequency interference.
Dow Corning® Heat Sink Compound: White, grease like silicone heavily filled with heat conductive metal
oxides. Used for thermal coupling of electrical/electronic devices to heat sinks. High thermal conductivity; low
bleed; stable at high temperatures. Also used as a high voltage corona suppressant.
