CRC Extreme Duty Silicone 300g CRC3030

Description

Uncompromising Performance: CRC Extreme Duty Silicone 300g – The High-Temperature, High-Pressure Industrial Lubricant (Product Code: 3030)

When routine maintenance lubricants fail, you turn to **extreme duty** solutions. For Australian industrial sites, defence applications, heavy transport, and manufacturing facilities where machinery operates under intense heat, colossal pressure, and relentless friction, the standard silicone spray simply won’t cut it. The CRC Extreme Duty Silicone 300g is a premium-grade lubricant engineered to redefine performance in the harshest environments. It is designed not just to resist, but to thrive in conditions that would cause conventional lubricants to degrade, drip, or carbonise.

This product is the essential maintenance chemical for professionals who manage mission-critical equipment, guaranteeing superior reliability and dramatically extending the operational life of heavy mechanical and electrical assets, ensuring compliance with demanding Australian industrial standards.

Engineered for Extremes: Temperature and Pressure Supremacy

The ‘Extreme Duty’ designation is validated by proven performance across the most challenging technical specifications:

• Unmatched Temperature Range: This premium silicone fluid maintains its lubricating and protective integrity across a massive operational window, from frigid **$-73^\circ C$ to searing $+232^\circ C$**. This makes it ideal for machinery subjected to external cold (such as high-altitude equipment or cold storage) or internal heat (e.g., adjacent to hot motors, furnaces, or extruders).
• Extreme Pressure (EP) Rating: The formula is rigorously tested to withstand immense friction, evidenced by its capability to endure a punishing **1200lb Falex test**. This high EP rating confirms its stability under heavy loads, preventing metal-to-metal contact, seizing, and premature wear, known collectively as **galling**.

Advanced Lubrication Technology: The Chemical Reaction Advantage

The CRC Extreme Duty Silicone is fundamentally different from basic silicone sprays. It is formulated with advanced silicone fluids that possess **superior temperature viscosity characteristics**. Most critically, this product does not just coat the surface—it actively **chemically reacts with metal surfaces**. This reaction creates an enhanced boundary lubrication layer that is far superior to the protection offered by conventional silicone lubricants.

The resultant film is:

• Durable and Stay-in-Place: Engineered to adhere firmly, the film resists sling-off and squeeze-out, even under high shear or vibration. It stays in place in damp environments and actively **resists moisture**, making it an excellent anti-corrosion barrier.
• Friction and Galling Reduction: By minimizing the coefficient of friction, it reduces energy consumption, lowers operating temperatures, and prevents metal surfaces from welding together under extreme load, ensuring smooth, silent operation for high-speed components like plant conveyors and guides.

Targeted High-Performance Industrial Applications

The robust nature of this lubricant makes it the superior choice for maintenance tasks across diverse heavy industries. It is designed for use on both **metal and non-metal surfaces**, making it versatile for mixed assemblies common in modern machinery.

Heavy Machinery and Mining Sites:

In environments notorious for dust, heat, and high mechanical loads, CRC Extreme Duty Silicone is vital for:

• Plant Conveyors, Guides, and Rails: Ensuring continuous, non-stick movement of heavy products and materials, even when exposed to contaminants.
• Rollers and Sliding Mechanisms: Lubricating high-wear points on heavy equipment, eliminating binding and reducing the need for repeated application.
• Chains and Drives: Providing a durable, non-staining lubrication film that sheds dirt and grit more effectively than sticky, conventional greases (use where a light, clean film is required).

Electrical and High-Heat Component Protection:

While primarily a mechanical lubricant, its high temperature rating and non-conductive (dielectric) silicone base make it ideal for areas surrounding electrical components that generate heat:

• Electric Motors: Used on external casings, shafts, and linkages to prevent corrosion and lubricate moving parts without risking electrical tracking or insulation damage.
• Vending Machines and Automated Systems: Lubricating complex internal sliding parts, gears, and hinges where a clean, long-lasting, high-temperature lubricant is required.

Mould Release and Fabrication:

Its superior non-stick properties make it a professional-grade **mould release agent** for plastics and composites, preventing product sticking and ensuring a clean pull, which is crucial for manufacturing efficiency.

Technical Data and Safety Professionalism

The CRC Extreme Duty Silicone is delivered in a 300g aerosol format for precise, easy application, particularly into intricate or hard-to-reach areas. The product has a low Specific Gravity of 0.6699, indicating a fast-evaporating carrier solvent for quick dry time, leaving only the high-performance silicone film behind.

As the carrier solvent is **Highly Flammable** (Flash Point: $<-18^\circ C$ TCC), it is essential to follow all safety guidelines: disconnect power to any electrical systems, ensure robust ventilation, and eliminate all ignition sources during application. Always consult the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed instructions before integrating this product into your extreme duty maintenance protocol.

Choose the CRC Extreme Duty Silicone to protect your highest-value assets against the threats of high heat, extreme pressure, and environmental corrosion. This is the ultimate investment in uptime and equipment longevity for Australian industry.
