Purchasing Resources for Conductive Lubricants

Conductive Lubricants

How to buy conductive lubricants from reputable suppliers for your lubrication purposes
By Howard Robertson A conductive lubricant (also called a conductive lube or conductive grease) is a conductive chemical that provides excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, lubrication and protection from moisture and chemicals. Conductive lubricants come in many types such as silver conductive grease, carbon conductive grease, silicone grease and more.  

You can use a thermal conductive grease or an electrical conductive grease in various industries such as electronics, telecommunication, automotive, aerospace and information technology.  

Some important parameters you must consider before buying a conductive lube are:

1. The application you want to use a conductive lubricant for
2. The ingredients of the conductive lube
3. The temperature range that the conductive lube can withstand
4. The type of the conductive lubricant
5. The viscosity of the conductive lube
6. Volume resistivity of the conductive lubricant

Buy a thermally or electrically conductive lubricant from reputable manufacturers

Once you have considered your requirements regarding conductive lubricants, you can check out the product line of reputable suppliers.
Try:  If you want to buy silver conductive grease, you can check out the products offered by  Cool-Amp Conducto-Lube, a leading manufacturer of silver grease. MG Chemicals is another leading manufacturer of lubricants that provides a wide array of lubricants including carbon conductive grease, silicone grease and silver conductive grease. Structure Probe is another major manufacturer of electrically conductive grease. In addition, you can also check with Specialty Silicone Products, a reputable manufacturer that provides a wide variety of lubricants including electrically and thermally conductive grease.

Buy a conductive lubricant from reputable distributors

After checking with the product lines of some reputable distributors, you can buy a conductive lubricant online. You can also request for a discount if you are buying in bulk.
Try:  You can buy a conductive lubricant from Jameco, a reputable supplier of electronic equipment. You can also check products with CE Distribution, another leading conductive lubricant supplier, providing a wide range of electrically conductive lubricants especially for faders.

Buy conductive lubricants for specialty applications

If you have some specific requirements regarding conductive lubricants and the standard products do not fulfill those requirements, then you can buy customized or specialty conductive lubricants from reputable custom manufacturers.
Try:  You can buy specialty conductive greases from Nye Lubricants, a leading manufacturer of conductive lubricants, who formulates the lubricants as per customer requirements. Tomlin Scientific is another leading custom manufacturer of lubricants including electrical contact greases. You can also buy a customized conductive lubricant from Tribology Tech-Lube. Aremco Products is another major manufacturer of customized conductive lubricants.

• Some conductive lubricants contain hazardous chemicals that can harm your skin and eyes. Read the precautions given by the manufacturers carefully before using the lubricant.
• Use a lubricant dispenser for applying the right amount of lubricant.
