Salclear Scubagrease™ is a scuba diving general purpose grease, lubricant and waterproofing aid.

Silicone grease is a very versatile, waterproof compound and lubricant, that can be used in an array of demanding industrial and leisure applications where long-term, permanent lubrication is required. It is ideally suited to scuba diving.

Salclear Scubagrease™ is a waterproof grease made by combining a silicone oil, with a thickening agent. It is a translucent viscous paste supplied in 30g wide necked clear jars.

It is commonly used for lubricating and preserving rubber parts, such as O-rings, as it prevents the rubber from drying out. In addition, our silicone grease will not swell or soften most rubbers (though should not be used with standard silicone rubbers); this can be a problem with hydrocarbon based greases. It also functions well as a corrosion-inhibitor due to its high water repellency characteristics.

Silicone grease is practically non-volatile and odourless, moisture resistant and electrically insulating.

It has excellent rubber lubricating grease, release and sealing properties, and is non toxic and non melting grease showing little tendency to dry out in service.

It is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, generally resistant to mineral oils, vegetable oils, air, dilute acids, alkalies and most aqueous solutions including salt water.

Salclear Scubagrease™ will adhere to many surfaces ensuring an excellent seal on a variety of joints e.g. glass apparatus, valves and taps.

A low coefficient of friction makes it an ideal lubricant for metal to plastic and plastic to plastic lubrication e.g. plastic bearings.

Will not harden Non-corrosive Excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability Superior hydrolytic stability and water washout resistance Broad operating temperature range (-40 - 200deg.C) Chemically inert and compatible with a wide range of substrates high lubricity zero odour no residues longevity in use (economy, efficiency) high purity non hazardous

Use of Salclear Scubagrease™ in Scuba Diving:

Use Salclear Scubagrease™ to lubricate and condition rubber products such as O-rings and other regulator and valve system components. Always refer to manufacturers instructions for suitability.

O-rings treated with Silicone Grease resist drying and cracking and provide a much better seal.

Silicone Grease is ideal for breathing apparatus, BCDs, cylinder, camera and flashlight O-rings, pressure systems, camera seals, waterproof torches, electrical connectors, pipe fittings, tubes and hoses, etc.

Salclear Scubagrease™ preserves rubber, plastic and metals.

Regular applications retard both oxidation and corrosion from exposure to sea water.

Use on wet suits, boots, gloves, rubber straps, fins, snorkels and more as part of your regular post-dive kit care. Also polish onto diving knives to prevent corrosion, and use on working metal parts of your dive kit.

( Note: NOT for use with NITROX systems, and those linked to high pressure oxygen gas)

Compatibility of Salclear Scubagrease™ with rubbers:

Key: 4 - good for static and dynamic seals. 3 - fair., usually ok for static seals. 2 - sometimes ok for static seals, not good for dynamic seals.1 - poor.
