Aerol^® Silicone Compounds are versatile lubricating preparations possessing unique characteristics. These compounds are based on Silicone fluids and contain either a non-soap thickener or are thickened with Lithium soap. The consistency of Silicone compounds will vary from a soft, buttery texture to a hard and tacky formulation. These greases are free from petroleum products, do not attack plastic substrates and therefore are outstanding lubricants for plastic, rubber and glass. Silicone compounds are non-carbonizing, oxidation resistant, non-solidifying, bleed and drip resistant, mild acid and alkali resistant, moisture resistant and are serviceable over a wide temperature range from –40°C upto 220°C. They exhibit outstanding resistance to extreme weather conditions and have excellent dielectric properties. They are also chemically inert and are non-toxic in nature. These compounds exhibit excellent release properties and are used as mould release agents for plastics, rubber and even metal castings. These greases are outstanding lubricants for plastics, glass and rubber surfaces. Several grades have been formulated and are described below.

A special version of silicone compound that contains metallic oxides is used as a heat transfer medium for electronic components and is often referred to as ‘Heat-Sink Compound’.

Another particular grade of Silicone Compound has been formulated with Moly Sulphide dispersed in a Silicone Fluid base.

Applications
Due to these unique properties, Silicone Compounds find application in many areas such as Lubrication of plastic, rubber, glass and metals surfaces in consumer electronics, sanitary, laboratory glassware, toys, cameras, microscopes, automobile components etc. Mould Release applications of plastics, rubber and metals. Weather proofing, corrosion protection, insulation and moisture barrier applications in electronics.

Potentiometers

Aerol^® Semi Synthetic compounds are based on synthetic fluids thickened with lithium soaps and are designed for specialty applications such as High speed bearings, Non drip applications, Water wash out resistance and High temperature service. These compounds can withstand moderately high loads and contain a polymeric additive, which improves its affinity to metal surfaces. These greases provide better lubrication than ordinary lithium / petroleum greases and have a longer serviceable life. Typical serviceable temperatures are 18^oC to 170^oC.
