Key specifications

Choosing the right option

For a smaller tube of CRC food grade di-electric grease, see CRC Di-Electric Grease Food Grade 94g. The 94g tube is sold under its own item number, FG03085, with a separate data sheet.

Because the can is flammable and conducts electricity, it is applied only to equipment that has been switched off and de-energised.
