CRC 2-26 Electrical Multi-Purpose Lubricant/Penetrant 450g

CRC 2-26 Electrical is a plastic-safe lubricant, penetrant and corrosion inhibitor in a paraffinic oil base. It helps prevent electrical malfunction caused by water penetration, humidity, condensation or corrosion, and restores electrical properties after water damage.

It leaves a continuous, self-repairing film 1-2 microns thick that seals out moisture, and it has a dielectric breakdown of 42,000 volts. It is supplied as a 450g aerosol, a 500ml trigger pack and a 4 L bottle, which have different formulations and hazard classifications, so check the pack.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

The three packs are different CRC formulations with their own safety data sheets: the 450g aerosol is a flammable aerosol and a dangerous good, while the 500ml trigger pack and 4 L bottle are not classified as dangerous goods. For a general-purpose lubricant, see CRC 5-56 Multi-Purpose Lubricant.

Using it

Submerged electrical equipment: spray liberally on every surface and allow 2 to 24 hours for the water to be displaced.

To protect metals: spray a light, even film. To loosen frozen parts: spray liberally and allow it to run off.

Use the extension tube for hard-to-reach areas. Repeat if necessary.

Test a small area first for colour fastness when cleaning surfaces.

Storage and handling

See the safety data sheet for the pack you buy, for handling and storage advice.
