Typical Product Applications
CG60’s unique properties are achieved by a blend of low viscosity base oils, containing anti-corrosion, anti-oxidant and metal protection additives, thickened with a complex soap. The use of a complex soap, rather than clay or silica, has the benefit of producing a smoother grease with superior mechanical properties. Therefore decreased wear and a high quality switch “feel” are provided. In addition to these properties, 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.
The main applications for CG60 include column switches, rocker switches & push-push switches in the automotive and high quality domestic switch industries. The exceptionally low wear characteristics also make this lubricant ideal for high quality audio applications, providing a very smooth, high quality feel operation.
CG60 has been specifically designed as a lubricant to ensure the low and stable electrical contact resistance across mating metal surfaces, by reducing harmful arcing and increasing the effective surface area of the switch. However, due the outstanding nature of its mechanical and plastic compatibility properties, it may also be used as a purely mechanical lubricant for plastic / plastic and plastic / metal interfaces.
