Silicone Grease NLGI#1 is inert to virtually all substrates with the exception of silicone rubber. It is often used for lubricating o‐rings, gaskets, valves and seals as well as surfaces that require excellent lubricating properties over long periods without drying out. It is not recommended for metal‐to‐metal lubrication or on surfaces that will be painted or finished.
NLGI is a measure of the stiffness of silicone grease with NLGI 1 being the least stiff and NLGI 3 being the stiffest. Due to its light consistency, NLGI#1 is the preferred consistency for lubricating and insulating scuba wet suits and equipment. However, if stiffer grease is preferred, we also carry an NLGI#2 (Silicone Grease 3005) as well as an NLGI #3.
