About Shin-Etsu G-501 Silicone Grease
OVERVIEW:
Shin-Etsu G-501 is a silicone-based grease designed to provide reliable lubrication, sealing, and protection in electrical, electronic, and mechanical applications. It combines a high-quality silicone fluid with a specially selected thickener, offering excellent dielectric properties, thermal stability, and resistance to moisture. G-501 is particularly suitable for use in electrical connectors, switches, and components exposed to harsh environments, where long-term performance and material compatibility are required.
KEY FEATURES:
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively across a typical service temperature range of -40°C to +200°C, supporting consistent lubrication and insulation under varying thermal conditions.
Electrical Insulation Properties
Provides stable dielectric performance, making it suitable for lubricating and protecting electrical connectors and components.
Water and Moisture Resistance
Offers excellent resistance to water washout and moisture ingress, helping maintain protective performance in humid or wet conditions.
Compatibility with Materials
Compatible with many types of metals, plastics, and elastomers, minimizing risk of material degradation or adverse interactions.
Long-Term Stability
Resists oxidation, thermal degradation, and evaporation, enabling long service life and reducing maintenance frequency.
