CRC 02085 Dielectric Grease

CRC 02085 is a dielectric grease for waterproofing electrical connections and components so moisture and other contaminants don't cause arcing. It also helps hold electrical performance in adverse conditions: rain, fog, salt spray and temperature extremes. Typical use is packing connector bodies, bulb sockets, battery terminals and weatherhead splices before they get sealed up.

Yes. CRC 02085 is NSF H1 registered for use in meat and poultry plants, so it is cleared for incidental food contact applications. That makes it the one to reach for on control panels, motor connectors and washdown-area wiring in food and beverage facilities, where a non-registered grease would be a sanitation audit problem.

Order it as CRC 02085, manufacturer part number 2085. One number covers the item, so there are no size or grade suffixes to pick when you are standardizing it across a maintenance stockroom.

That is one of its intended uses. The grease seals the connection against moisture and salt spray, which is the usual cause of corrosion and arcing in exterior fixtures and site lighting near the coast. Apply it to the socket, terminal or plug body before you make up the joint so water cannot sit on bare metal.

It has the Select-a-BEAD nozzle, which lets you set the bead width so you can lay a thin, accurate line into a connector cavity instead of flooding the part. Useful when you are greasing a row of small pin connectors and don't want squeeze-out bridging terminals.
