Permatex® Dielectric Tune-Up Grease, .33oz Tube, CHEM-PA81150
DESCRIPTION
Permatex® Dielectric Tune-Up Grease – Protects electrical connections and wiring from salt, dirt and corrosion. Extends the life of bulb sockets. Prevents voltage leakage around any electrical connection. Also prevents spark plugs from fusing to boots. Required for modern high energy ignition systems.
Permatex® Dielectric Tune-Up Grease is a silicone dielectric compound whose dielectric and lubricitous properties facilitate and improve tune-ups. The compound prevents voltage leakage around any electrical connector thereby insuring a strong spark in high energy automotive ignition systems. The compound is an excellent lubricant on rubber, plastic and ceramic surfaces and it also has good high temperature properties, thus preventing fusing of spark plug boots to the spark plug. It will make installation of the boots easier.
