CRC Extreme Duty Silicone Lubricant 300g Aerosol

CRC Extreme Duty Silicone is a silicone fluid aerosol lubricant for high pressure and high temperature applications on metal and non-metal surfaces. CRC gives a working range of -73 °C to 232 °C.

It reduces friction and galling and eases metal-to-metal contact to prolong equipment life, resists moisture and stays in place in damp environments. This page covers the 300g aerosol, CRC product number 3030.

Where this product is used

• Plant conveyors, guides and rails
• Rollers and sliding mechanisms
• Electric motors, on de-energised equipment only
• Vending machines

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

For a silicone spray with a lower working temperature range, see CRC Aerosol 808 Silicone Spray Multi-Purpose Enhancer, Lubricant & Protectant 330g; its data sheet gives -38 °C to 290 °C. Check each product's data sheet and hazard classification before choosing.

Using it

Apply to a clean surface.

Spray a light, even film.

Use the extension tube for hard-to-reach areas, and repeat the application if necessary.

Do not use on energised equipment.

Storage and handling

Protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures above 50 °C. Keep away from heat and ignition sources. Do not pierce or burn the can, even after use. The pressurised container may burst if heated.

Limits and safety

SDS classification: signal word Danger. Extremely flammable aerosol (H222). Pressurised container: may burst if heated (H229). Transport class UN 1950, Aerosols, Class 2.1. Do not use on energised equipment. The flash point and specific gravity for the concentrate without propellant do not describe the aerosol can. The NSF H2 registration is not a food grade (H1) listing. Incompatible with oxidising agents (for example hypochlorites), acids (for example nitric acid) and alkalis (for example sodium hydroxide). Read the safety data sheet before use.

Frequently asked questions

What temperature range does CRC Extreme Duty Silicone cover?

CRC states -73 °C to 232 °C.

What load does CRC Extreme Duty Silicone carry in the Falex test?

The CRC technical data sheet states 1200 lb in the ASTM D-3233 Falex Load Test.

Can CRC Extreme Duty Silicone be used on energised equipment?

No. The CRC technical data sheet says do not use it on energised equipment.

What is the flash point of CRC Extreme Duty Silicone?

The SDS gives below 23 °C for the aerosol as dispensed, and the can is an extremely flammable aerosol. The TDS figure of below -18 °C (TCC) is for the concentrate without propellant.

Is CRC Extreme Duty Silicone a dangerous good?

Yes for transport. The CRC safety data sheet lists UN 1950, Aerosols, Class 2.1.

Is CRC Extreme Duty Silicone food grade?

No. The CRC technical data sheet lists NSF H2, which is for use where there is no food contact. It is not an H1 listing.
