CRC Food Grade Dielectric Grease Select-A-Bead is a pressurised, non-curing silicone compound engineered to protect and empower electrical systems in tough environments. This MPI-approved, food-grade dielectric grease seals, lubricates, and insulates, keeping connections reliable when weather, humidity, and salt spray threaten performance. With the Select-A-Bead nozzle and a double piston pressurised system, you get smooth, uniform dispensing and precise control from first squeeze to the last bead. Why this grease stands out - Precision dispensing for clean, repeatable seals: The innovative Select-A-Bead nozzle lets you tailor the silicone bead width to match the size of the connector, fastenings, or seal you’re working with, reducing waste and mess. - Durable, temperature-tolerant performance: Silicone-based formulation resists temperature swings without hardening, freezing, drying, or melting. You can rely on stable insulation and lubrication from cold mornings to scorching afternoons. - Comprehensive protection in damp, salty, or dusty conditions: It maintains electrical performance during rain, fog, salt spray, and other harsh environments. By sealing out dirt, moisture, rust, and oil, it protects contacts and circuits for longer service life. - Gentle on rubber and plastics, tough on corrosion: Safe for rubber seals and plastic parts, the grease lubricates without swelling or damaging components while providing an insulating barrier where needed. - Ready-to-use convenience with no additives: No mixing or chemical additives required—use straight from the can. It’s easy to reapply or touch up during maintenance or assembly. - Ideal for marine and outdoor electricals: From boat electronics and shore power inlets to outdoor lighting and trailers, this grease keeps connections dependable in marine applications and exposed installations. - MPI approved for dairy environments: Specifically approved for Farm Dairies and Dairy processing, with MPI Approved C15 designation for all Animal Product Except Dairy, making it suitable for areas requiring food-grade compliance. What problems it solves - Moisture, dirt, and salt ingress: Creates a protective barrier that blocks contaminants from reaching electrical contacts, connectors, and terminals. - Wear and corrosion under load: Lubrication reduces friction and wear as parts connect and disconnect, extending component life. - Inconsistent conductivity under adverse conditions: Maintains electrical insulation and proper conductivity even in damp or extreme conditions, preserving performance. - Rubber and plastic compatibility concerns: Delivers lubrication and sealing without damaging or deforming gasket materials and housings. Where to use it (scenarios and use cases) - Electrical components in damp or extreme conditions: Connectors, circuit breakers, electrical panels, bulkhead connectors, and outdoor lighting are protected against rain, fog, and salt spray. - Marine applications: Battery terminals, spark plugs, shore power inlets, boat electronics connectors, trailer plugs, and other marine electrical connections stay dependable at sea or on inland waters. - Rubber and plastic parts: Lubricates and seals O-rings and other rubber/plastic components without causing material degradation. - Outdoor junctions and weatherproofing: Weatherproofs seals on outdoor junction boxes and connections exposed to the elements. How to use it effectively - Prepare the surfaces: Clean connectors and mating surfaces to remove dirt and oxidation before application. - Apply with precision: Use the Select-A-Bead nozzle to lay down a thin, even bead precisely where seals or lubricated interfaces are needed. - Reassemble and test: After application, reassemble components and operate a few connect/disconnect cycles to ensure smooth motion and consistent contact. - Removal and maintenance: If you need to remove the grease for maintenance, it can be cleaned away with CRC CO Contact Cleaner. Asset-conscious benefits - Reduces maintenance downtime by enabling quick, clean reassembly with consistent bead width. - Extends the life of electrical connections in boats, weatherproof enclosures, and outdoor installations. - Supports dairy industry compliance, giving buyers confidence in both performance and suitability for sensitive environments. specifications at a glance - Form: Pressurised, non-curing silicone dielectric grease - Weight/Packaging: 94 g (select bead dispensing) - Primary uses: Electrical sealing, lubrication, protection, insulation - Temperature behavior: Maintains performance across temperature extremes; will not harden, freeze, dry, or melt - Material safety: Silicone-based; safe for rubber and plastics - Visibility: Keeps contacts clean and reduces wear - Special feature: Select-A-Bead nozzle with double piston pressurised dispensing for consistent bead width and smooth application - Approvals: MPI approved for Farm Dairies and Dairy processing; MPI Approved C15 (All Animal Product Except Dairy) Who should consider this product - Electricians, maintenance technicians, and DIY enthusiasts working on outdoor, marine, or dairy-related electrical systems. - Facility managers overseeing dairy processing plants and agricultural operations that require food-grade, reliable electrical sealing and lubrication. - Boat owners and marine technicians needing dependable connections that endure exposure to saltwater and environmental elements.
