Contact Grease CG60 TECHNICAL DATA Product Code: CG60 SHEET PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The CG60 contact lubricant has been developed to offer enhanced electrical and mechanical properties, whilst being suitable for use with modern (and often very sensitive) plastics and under the more arduous conditions that are required by the leaders in todays automotive industry. The main advantage of this product is reduced contact resistance, excellent plastics compatibility and improved mechanical lubrication. The use of CG60 on switches and connectors guarantees a very low and stable contact resistance over the long lifetimes required by the automotive and domestic equipment industries. The unique properties of CG60 have been produced by using a blend of several low viscosity base oils, thickened with a complex inorganic soap. The blend of base oils gives excellent plastics compatibility together with the electrical properties that have made Electrolubes original products world leaders in the switch industry. The use of an inorganic thickener, rather than clay or silica, has the benefit of producing a smoother grease with superior mechanical properties. These include decreasing wear and producing a high quality switch feel. In addition if the switch is exposed to extremely high temperatures over long periods, forcing the base oil to evaporate, the thickener will not remain as an insulative, abrasive layer on the contact surfaces. This is the case with greases made with other thickener technologies.

The exceptionally low wear characteristics also make this lubricant ideal for high quality audio applications, providing a very smooth, high quality feel operation. CG60 has been specifically designed as a lubricant to ensure the low and Copyright stable electrical contact resistance across mating metal surfaces, by reducing Electrolube harmful arcing and increasing the effective surface area of the switch. 2003 However, due the outstanding nature of its mechanical and plastic All information is compatibility properties, it may also be used as a purely mechanical lubricant given in good for plastic / plastic and plastic / metal interfaces. faith but without warranty.
