Dielectric Grease
Some research is needed on Electrical conduction of dielectric grease versus regular grease(which is also nonconductive)?--Ericg33 (talk) 10:39, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Silicon dielectric compound is abrasive, and should NEVER be used to lubricate rotating contacts. It contains silica. I tried it on a silver-plated rotary switch on a piece of industrial machinery the last place I worked. The switch actually failed much FASTER with the silicone dielectric compound than it did without. Silicone dielectric grease does NOT have lubricating qualities. I wish I had taken a photo of that switch! The silicone dielectric grease was no longer clear (well, translucent), but silver! The silver plating had become thoroughly mixed with the grease, actually making the grease conductive! It looked like silver paste.
Also, contrary to what the main page says, it can indeed be applied to stationary contacts to protect them from corrosion in the presence of moisture. 67.210.53.39 (talk) 08:24, 21 March 2012 (UTC)w0btu
