CG53A Contact Grease

The CG series of Contact Lubricants is an extension of the extremely popular 2X range. The main advantages of these products are reduced contact resistance (even on extremely heavy usage), improved plastics compatibility and improved mechanical lubrication.

In addition to providing low and stable contact resistance and improved mechanical lubrication properties, CG53A offers superior long term protection to contacts in corrosive environments. It is also an ideal lubricant for high voltage contacts. The plastics compatibility of this grease is very good although, as with all lubricants, it is always advisable to test prior to full scale production.

The unique properties of CG53A have been produced by using a blend of low viscosity base oils, containing anticorrosion, anti-oxidant and metal protection additives, thickened with a complex soap. The use of a complex soap thickener, rather than clay or silica, has the benefit of producing 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.
