Permatex Dielectric Grease.33 oz Tube, Electrical Connection Sealant and Corrosion Protectant
Permatex Dielectric Grease.33 oz Tube, Electrical Connection Sealant and Corrosion Protectant
Permatex Dielectric Grease is a silicone-based, non-conductive grease designed to protect electrical connections and wiring from salt, dirt, and corrosion. It is applied to terminal contacts, bulb sockets, and connectors to seal out moisture and prevent voltage leakage, which extends the service life of the connection and helps stop bulb sockets from corroding over time. The grease also prevents spark plug boots from fusing to spark plugs, making future removal easier. Because it does not conduct electricity, it can be applied directly over metal-to-metal contact points without interrupting the electrical connection itself; it simply forms a protective barrier around the joint. This makes it a useful product for marine electrical systems, trailer wiring, boat lighting, battery terminals, and other connections that are regularly exposed to salt air and moisture. To use, the ignition system should be switched off, the surface cleaned with a contact cleaner, both parts of the terminal contact coated with the grease, and the connection reassembled while maintaining metal-to-metal contact. Permatex Dielectric Grease 81150 comes in a compact.33 oz tube, sized for spot application at individual connectors rather than large-scale coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Permatex Dielectric Grease used for? Permatex Dielectric Grease 81150 is used to protect electrical connections and wiring from salt, dirt, and corrosion, commonly applied to bulb sockets, terminal contacts, and spark plug boots.
Does dielectric grease conduct electricity? No, Permatex Dielectric Grease is non-conductive. It is designed to seal and protect a connection rather than carry current, so it will not interfere with an electrical circuit when applied properly.
How much does the tube contain? The Permatex 81150 tube contains.33 oz of dielectric grease, sized for spot application at individual connectors and terminals.
How do I apply Permatex Dielectric Grease to a connection? First switch off the ignition system, clean the surface with a contact cleaner, coat both parts of the terminal contact with the grease, then reassemble the connection while maintaining metal-to-metal contact.
Will dielectric grease prevent spark plug boots from sticking? Yes, applying Permatex Dielectric Grease 81150 to spark plug boots helps prevent them from fusing to the spark plugs, making future removal easier.
Is this grease suitable for marine electrical connections? Permatex Dielectric Grease is formulated to protect connections from salt, dirt, and corrosion, making it suitable for marine wiring, trailer connectors, and boat lighting exposed to salt air and moisture.
Does dielectric grease extend the life of bulb sockets? Yes, coating bulb sockets with Permatex Dielectric Grease 81150 helps prevent corrosion and voltage leakage, which extends the service life of the socket.
Can this grease be applied over metal-to-metal contact? Yes, because it is non-conductive, Permatex Dielectric Grease can be applied directly to terminal contacts while maintaining metal-to-metal contact between the parts.
What is the part number for this dielectric grease? The Permatex dielectric grease covered here is part number 81150, packaged in a.33 oz tube.
Does dielectric grease stop voltage leakage? Yes, one of the primary functions of Permatex Dielectric Grease 81150 is preventing voltage leaks from electrical connections.
