Description

Grease like material containing an inert silica filler in combination with selected polydimethyl silicone fluids.

Dow Corning® 4 Electrical Insulating Compound can be applied by hand, specially designed automated equipment, brushing or wiping. Certain designs of grease guns may seize up with silicone compounds; test prior to use. A thinner consistency can be achieved by dispersing in solvents such as xylene, mineral spirits and methyl ethyl ketone. Dow Corning 4Compound can then be applied by brushing, dipping or spraying. Dow Corning 4 Compound should not be applied to any surface which will be painted or finished. Such coatings may not adhere to the silicone-treated surface.
