Default where to get dielectric grease

topic says it all realy

I remember they sold this on a webshop in belgium or the netherlands but I can't find it anymore and even still, this was in very small amounts and probably way to expensive.

I asked in the local electronics store if they could get hold of it but they didn't even knew what it was...

Are there alternatives that are perhaps easier to find?



Also, is your every day silicone (like they use to seal of windows) conductive or not?

milling and tapping

Fedora dictionary to the rescue:

"WordNet (r) 2.0"
automotive
adj 1: of or relating to motor vehicles; "automotive supplies"
2: containing within itself the means of propulsion or
movement; "a self-propelled vehicle" syn: self-propelled,
self-propelling

Car parts store; car dealer repair shop; places where car parts are sold.

The grease is normally or commonly used around high voltage circuit (50,000 volt and over) where lubrication is needed.

The non-dielectric property prevents arcing. It is very inexpensive.

In the case where it is used in between magnatic coil pickup and metal surface; it also acts as heat transfer compound; like thermal grease for computer.

In fact, a car's alternator is toned down... You can get more then one and a half million volts out of this ****
