Electronics and Computer Uses
Inert greases can be very useful in lubricating moving parts in electronic devices and computers, since they are generally unaffected by electrical fields or currents because of their high resistance to electrical breakdown. Since the inert grease won’t react with the metals in the electronic devices, they also eliminate the chance that the lubrication used might cause rust or other forms of oxidation which could damage the device or significantly reduce its working lifespan.
Other Uses
In addition to the uses mentioned above, inert greases can be used as a lubricant in most any situation. Pretty much any petroleum-based grease that you might use around the house can be replaced with inert grease, in many cases providing an increased performance over the petroleum-based version. Because the grease doesn’t have the same reliance on fossil fuels as some other greases; this can be very useful for individuals, businesses, and industries who are trying to reduce their carbon footprint and use polymer-based solutions instead of petroleum- or carbon-based solutions. With the rising costs of petroleum, this can also result in a significantly reduced cost when choosing lubricants because the polymer-based inert grease won’t suffer as large of an increase in price as those which are based directly off of petroleum products.
