Semi-synthetic Fluid

Aerol^® Silicone Grease (non-soap thickened) is a firm, smooth, translucent gel-like, non-melting, lubricant, and release/separation agent. Silicone Grease is commonly used to lubricate plastic and rubber components due to its excellent compatibility. It works as a seal cum lubricant on rubber O-rings and rubber articles and keeps them soft and flexible during storage and use. It is also used to lubricate automotive control cables due to its non-drying nature and excellence in lubricating metals vs plastic/rubber. Being non-toxic it is used in the food, beverage, hospital, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries to lubricate equipment, components, and conveying systems and as an anti-size on threaded connections, where incidental food or human contact is unavoidable.

Damping Compound is a tacky, viscous gel that is designed to dampen the free motion of the component to which it is applied. Ordinary lubricants have the property of reducing friction between the mating surfaces, whereas Damping Grease is designed to create more friction and yet make motion smoother and more restricted. This smooth yet restricted or damped motion is free from play and produces a hydraulic/ hand-built feel. The electronics industry utilizes damping greases for potentiometers, rotary switches, tape recorder soft ejection assemblies, variable condensers, deflector coils, trimmers, plastic gears, and other components where damping of free motion is required.

The automobile industry uses damping grease in the production of automobile components, switchgear, mirror assemblies, etc. These greases also provide a smooth and easy motion to oculars, focusing and adjusting on screw and plane contracts.

Other applications include optical equipment, binoculars, radio, telescopes, microscopes, cameras, range finders, surveying and measuring instruments, electronic toys, hinges, builders’ hardware, etc.
