Lithium Grease Hydrophobic, Corrosion Inhibiting Lubricant 8461 Technical Data Sheet 8461 Description The 8461 Lithium Grease is a multi-purpose lubricant that provides long superior lubrication and protection against corrosion. As a lubricant, it reduces metal-to-metal friction and wear while retaining it consistency over a wide temperature range. As a corrosion inhibitor, it prevents water and external contaminants from oxidizing metals. Features and Benefits  Corrosion inhibitor  Heat resistant  Easy to use and apply: Smooth buttery cream texture  Long lasting ENVIRONMENT Usage Parameters Properties Shelf Life a) RoHS Compliant Zero-VOC Temperature Ranges Value 5y a) Reported shelf life assumes room temperature storage and unopened container.

Health, Safety, and Environmental Awareness Please see the 8461 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for greater details on transportation, storage, handling and other security guidelines. Environmental Impact: The VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content is 0% by WHMIS and European standards. Health and Safety: The 8461 may cause a mild skin or eye irritation. Wear safety glasses and disposable gloves to avoid exposures. HMIS® RATING NFPA® 704 CODES HEALTH: 1 FLAMMABILITY: 1 PHYSICAL HAZARD: 0 1 1 0 PERSONAL PROTECTION: Approximate HMIS and NFPA Risk Ratings Legend: 0 (Low or none); 1 (Slight); 2 (Moderate); 3 (Serious); 4 (Severe) Application Instructions The performance of the 8461 Lithium Grease depends on surface preparation. Improperly prepared contact surfaces can degrade the oxidation protection, dielectric properties, and lubrication characteristics by trapping contaminants between the surface and the grease. The thickness and coverage should be adjusted to meet your needs. Prerequisites    (Optional) Wear gloves to avoid contaminating the surface and to avoid possible skin irritation. (see 8461 SDS). Clean and dry the surface of the substrate to remove other oils, greases, dust, water, solvents, or any other contaminants. Recommendations: Use MG 824 Isopropyl Alcohol or MG 401B Nu-trol Control Cleaner Equipment    Lint free cloth (for cleaning contact and for wiping excess residue) Spatula or stick application tools (sized appropriately for your application) Isopropyl alcohol or other residue-free organic solvents Page 2 of 3 Date: 01 February 2017 / Ver. 1.01 Lithium Grease Hydrophobic, Corrosion Inhibiting Lubricant 8461 Technical Data Sheet 8461 To apply the grease 1. Wipe the contact with a lint-free cloth. 2. Clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol or other non-oil based cleaner. 3. Once dry, apply the paste with the application tool to the contact, ensuring adequate coverage and desired thickness. Packaging and Supporting Products Cat.
