Silicone Sealant
Designed for a broad variety of sealing and
bonding requirements, silicone sealants are
usually room temperature vulcanizing (RTV)
which form a flexible silicone rubber that
bonds to a wide variety of smooth porous
materials when cured. Standard silicone
sealants are designed to perform in
temperatures from —51° C to 232° C (-60° F
to 400° F), while high temperature variants
can perform in temperatures up to 343° C
(650° F). Follow the manufacturer
recommendations for use.
Aerosol Protectant/Lubricant
Most commonly used to coat battery
terminals, ring terminals, and fork terminals
to reduce corrosion problems. Apply an
aerosol protectant to the connection after
you secure the terminal connection. Do Not
use an aerosol protectant on small multi-pin
electrical connectors.
An aerosol lubricant may also be specified.
Refer to the specific service procedure for
details.
