MOLYKOTE® 5 formerly DOW CORNING™ 5

MOLYKOTE® 5 is used for lubrication of cable connectors, battery terminals, rubber door seals, switches, plastic and rubber Orings/ aircraft, automotive and marine ignition systems and sparkplug connections, cutoff circuits in electric wiring systems and connections. To help prevent arcing and flashovers on insulators and bushings. As a contact lubricant on high-voltage equipment. To lubricate static and dynamic O-ring seals in hot-melt adhesive equipment. To help prevent rust and corrosion on insulator threads and bolts; also helps in removal of insulators and hardware for replacement. As a water-repellent filling material to help prevent moisture from traveling inside the rubber jacket of service entrance cable (can be injected using a grease gun with a needle-type nozzle). To help prevent oxidation and corrosion on contacts and band-tightening screws of socket-type watt-hour meters.
