Technical content

CG60 contact lubricant offer s enhanced electrical and mechanical properties under the conditions required by today’s automotive and domestic equipment industries. It has been specifically designed for use with a vast array of modern and very sensitive plastics.  Excellent plastics compatibility; suitable with sensitive plastics (ABS/PC), testing is always advised  Produces low and constant mV drop and contact resistance; ensures reliability of the contact  Enhances quality of switch; provides smooth operation and extends switch lifetime  Provides optimal mechanical resistance and reduces electrical background noise Approvals RoHS Compliant (2015/863/EU): Yes Typical Properties Colour Cream Density (g/ml) 0.85 Temperature Range (°C) -45 to +130 Evaporation Weight Loss (% 7 days @ 100°C) 0.2 Evaporation Weight Loss (% 7 days @ 125°C) 2.1 Copper Strip Corrosion (IP154 / ISO 2160) ≤1b Silver Corrosion (DIN 51759, 3 hrs @100°C) No change Drop Point (IP32 / ISO 2176 (°C)) 200 Cone Penetration Worked (ASTM D217, 60 strokes @ 20°C) 320 Cone Penetration Un-Worked (ASTM D 217 @ 20°C) 300 Cone Penetration Un-Worked (ASTM D 217 @ -40°C) 230 Consistency (NLGI) 1 4 Ball Wear (mm) 3.264 Weld Load (kgf) 126 Fliessdruck (Flow Pressure) (DIN 51805, mbar @ -40°C) 300 Oil Bleed / Separation (IP121) 5% Plastic Compatibility - ABS Test Plastic Compatibility - PC Test Thickener Lithium Complex Soap Neutralisation Value (mgKOH/g) 0.03 UV Trace Yes

For general removal of dirt, Electrolube ULS is recommended . Hardened dirt and tarnish, especially on larger contacts, should be rem oved by rubbing with an abrasive material , which can be im pregnated with the lubricant to be used. After cleaning non-wiping contacts, loosened tarnish should be removed before a final app lication of lubricant is made. Electrolube Contact Cleaning Strip s (CCS) are recommended for this purpose. With wiping contacts, loosened tarnish will be pushed aside. This can be removed if desired, but is usually not necessary, due to the excellent lubricating and protective properties of the contact lubricant. CG60 can be applied by one of the following methods (although this list is not exhaustive): Manually by way of a syringe Semi-automated using syringe dispensing equipment Fully automated by way of a follower/pusher plate with dispensing system.

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. The refore 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 compat ibility properties, it may also be used as a purely mechanical lubricant for plastic / plastic and plastic / metal interfaces.
