Molykote 4 Electrical Insulating compound silicone

Molykote 4 Electrical Insulating Compound (formerly Dow Corning DC4) is a silicone-based compound paste (sae as8660) with semi-flowable consistency that exhibits excellent dielectric strength and electrical insulating properties.

Applications

• As a lubricant and seal for cable connectors, battery terminals, rubber seals, elastomer and polymer O-rings
• Assembly of various metal on polymer and metal on rubber combinations
• A Moisture proof seal for transportation and industrial applications including ignition systems, sealed electrical connectors, disconnect junctions, and terminals where a  semiflowable consistency material is appropriate.
• Consider using MOLYKOTE® 111 Compound or MOLYKOTE® 5 Compound if higher consistency material is needed related to electrical based applications or MOLYKOTE® 112 High-Performance Lube/Sealant for critical mechanical based applications.

Features

• High dielectric strength and excellent electrical insulating properties
• Good adhesion to most dry materials, including metals, elastomers, polymers and ceramics
• Semi-flowable rheology may allow compound to enter complex geometries
• Low volatility and evaporation
