8462 is a dielectric silicone grease. It seals, waterproofs, lubricates and insulates indoor and outdoor electrical connections with a layer of non-hardening silicone compound. It is electrically insulating but allows current to flow through metal contacts, providing environmental protection without inhibiting connectivity or causing short circuits. It is also good for lubricating and sealing rubber and plastic parts.
Silicone grease is commonly used on outdoor lighting, scoreboards, traffic lights, high voltage poles, transformers, disconnects, switching mechanisms, electrical contacts, spark plugs, battery terminals, fasteners, seals, gaskets, plastic insulators, and O-rings. It is useful in marine environments and harsh weather conditions.
