Shin-Etsu G-30M Low-Temperature Silicone Grease
G-30M is the medium-consistency grade in Shin-Etsu's G-30 series of low-temperature silicone greases. The series uses silicone fluid as the base oil together with thickeners and functional additives, and is designed for applications where conventional mineral-oil greases are difficult to use at low temperatures. The G-30 series includes G-30F, G-30L, G-30M and G-30H with different consistency levels. G-30M is a grayish-white grease with a specific gravity of approximately 1.00 at 25°C, a worked penetration of 240–280 and a dropping point above 200°C. Its specified service temperature range is -60°C to 180°C. Low-temperature torque, oil separation, oxidative stability and volatile content are all specified for wide-temperature lubrication applications.
Product Details
Product Features
Low-Temperature Lubrication: The G-30 series is specifically designed for low-temperature service, with G-30M maintaining controlled starting and running torque at -60°C.
Wide Service Temperature Range: Suitable for use from -60°C to 180°C, covering very low starting temperatures and elevated operating conditions.
Good Thermal Stability: A dropping point above 200°C, low volatility and good oxidative stability support use across a wide temperature range.
Good Moisture Resistance: Silicone grease offers good resistance to water and moisture for machinery exposed to humid conditions.
Medium Consistency: With a worked penetration of 240–280, G-30M is the medium-consistency grade in the G-30 series and is suitable for general bearing and mechanical lubrication.
Low Volatility: Volatile content is approximately 0.41% after 100 hours at 150°C, helping reduce grease loss at elevated temperatures.
Product Applications
Low-Temperature Bearings: Suitable for rolling bearings and rotating components operating in low-temperature environments.
Precision Machinery: Suitable for precision mechanisms requiring reliable low-temperature starting and stable lubrication resistance.
Industrial Equipment: Suitable for machinery where conventional petroleum-based grease may not perform adequately at low temperatures.
Sliding Mechanisms: Suitable for sliding components, transmission structures and other moving parts requiring lubrication across a wide temperature range.
Low-Temperature Equipment: Suitable for refrigeration equipment, cold-environment machinery and other mechanical lubrication points exposed to low temperatures.
