Slick Switch Contact Grease

Developed for the electricity supply industry, Slick Switch is a weather resistant grease for lubricating overhead line switch bearings and other equipment where long term performance is required. More recently, we have introduced Slick Switch Contact Grease which also gives excellent long term performance.

Slick Switch electrical contact lubricant has been developed as a special grease designed for application to electrical contacts on overhead line and sub-station switches. Also effective in many other electrical contact applications. Excellent performance even in harsh winter weather conditions. This product is easily applied by brush.

Slick Switch electrical contact lubricant is an advanced calcium complex grease formulation developed to extend the operational life of overhead line and sub-station switch contacts by offering a high resistance to water wash off, coupled with a strong adhesion to metal surfaces and excellent corrosion resistance. It is ideal in all weather conditions and is unaffected by salt or fresh water.

Experience has shown that over time conventional lithium based contact grease can cause the electrical contacts on overhead line and sub-station switches to become stiff and difficult to fully engage. This is because lithium based products absorb water and oxidise.

Benefits:

• Excellent adhesion properties and high resistance to fresh and salt water
• Low operating temperature (-25°c)
• Easily applied by brush
• Effective even in harsh weather conditions

Horizon also offer a special purpose brush for greasing (pictured). It features an articulating shaft for hard to reach places, and it is supplied with an insulated boot.
