ECCOSHIELD® SO is a conductive grease that is effective in lubricating moving surfaces that must be electrically conductive. A film of ECCOSHIELD® SO will protect metal surfaces from corrosion.
ECCOSHIELD® SO is applied as a thin film to cleaned joints or contacts and has been used successfully in the hinge joint of knife blade switches and certain circuit breakers and as a lubricant directly on switch contacts. Lubricants for large metal-to-metal sliding contacts which require continuous electrical conductive paths, grounding of enclosures, equipment and components which require lubrication to overcome friction as well as electromagnetic-interference control are common.
Applying ECCOSHIELD® SO on screw threads will lubricate them for easy assembly or removal and assure excellent electrical contact. ECCOSHIELD® SO has been used successfully in heat transfer applications; a thin film will often eliminate the “air gap” between adjacent surfaces and produce a heat transfer path equivalent to that of solid metal.
