3 Technical Data Sheet CH118 Water Repellent, Non-melting, Electrically Insulating Silicone Grease Introduction CH118 is water-repellent, work-stable, non-melting, tasteless and odourless silicone grease for electrical insulation purposes; it may also be used for potable water supplies. Key Features Excellent work stability Can be used from -50ºC to +200ºC Work stable after 24 hours at 200ºC Non-melting Good low load lubrication Low bleed and weight loss Widely approved (see below) Excellent dielectric properties Good water repellence Non-corrosive to metals Low level of toxicity Typical Applications It is a very versatile grease that has been used successfully in many applications such as: - Sealing electrical systems against water ingress - Prevention of corona discharge - Protection of insulation against corona discharge - Potting of small electronic components - Lubrication of electric cables through conduits - Screw threads lubrication to prevent sticking and corrosion - Packing of mineral fibre glands to prevent sticking - Laboratory stop-cock lubrication - Vacuum sealing of ground glass joints Approvals CH118 is approved to U.K. Ministry of Defence Standard (JSD XG-250, NATO S-736) It is designed to meet U.S. Military Specification MIL-S- 8660B The Water Regulations Advisory Scheme has approved SG M494 to BS 6920, for use in contact with hot (85ºC)and cold potable (drinking) water. directory ref: Effect on Materials CH118 has little effect on metals and most plastics. It may, after prolonged contact with plasticised rubbers and plastics, have a slight effect due to plasticiser migration. General Characteristics The following are typical values for the product and should not be taken as specification limits. Appearance Grey white paste Specific Gravity 1.00 Unworked Penetration, 1/10th mm (1) Worked Penetration, 1/10th mm (1) Worked Penetration after 24 hours / 200ºC, 1/10th mm (1) Weight Loss, 30 hours/ 200ºC, % 1.5 Bleed, 30 hours / 200ºC, % <6 Note: All penetration values have been measured according to Petroleum Standard IP50/69 or ASTM-D Electrical Properties Dielectric Strength at 1MHz, kv/mm 19.5 Dielectric Constant at 1MHz (BS 2067) 2.9 Volume Resistivity, Ω.cm (BS 6233) 1.0 x Power Factor at 1MHz (BS 2067) 1.5 x 10-3 Electrical Strength, kv (BS 1858) >13 Health and Safety Detailed advice for the safe handling and disposal of CH118 is given in the individual product Material Safety Data Sheets, available on request. Packages CH118 is supplied in non-returnable packages containing the following net quantities: 50 g, 250 g, 1 kg, 5 kg, 20 kg, 200 kg Storage and Shelf Life CH118 grease should be stored in its original sealed containers to prevent contamination of the product. If stored in its original sealed containers it is virtually unaffected by storage temperatures and will be stable under such conditions for 2 years.
