## Overview

MG Chemicals 8481-1 Premium Carbon Conductive Grease is a synthetic oil-based, silicone-free conductive grease designed to improve electrical continuity on irregular and vibrating surfaces. It offers exceptional corrosion resistance (550+ hours salt fog test), thermal stability without bleeding, and protects contacts from arcing and hotspots. Ideal for professional-grade electrical maintenance, it extends component life while being safe on plastics.

## Description

The 8481 Premium Carbon Conductive Grease is an electrically conductive grease with a synthetic oil base. This product is similar to the MG 846 silicone conductive grease, but unlike its silicone counterpart the 8481 synthetic-oil grease is essentially non-bleeding. Further, it includes corrosion inhibitors that provide superior corrosion resistance. The 8481 grease lubricates and improves electrical connections between sliding surfaces and parts, ensuring good grounding connection. It is also used to improve electrical continuity between irregular and pitted surfaces, as well as providing an economical way to protect switches against corrosion. Extends the life of contacts. Resistivity better than 400 Ω. Silicone Free. Safe on plastics.

Review: Quality product that works - Relatively expensive, but does what it says. You only get what you pay for. This grease goes a long way too. You only need a very thin coating.
Review: Perfect for Split-chassis locomotives - Bachmann split-chassis? Enough in this tube to lubricate hundreds of locomotives and ensure electrical continuity. Does not seem to affect the nylon bushings or other plastic. Black grease. Perfect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality product that works
*by J***G on 9 August 2025*

Relatively expensive, but does what it says. You only get what you pay for. This grease goes a long way too. You only need a very thin coating.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Split-chassis locomotives
*by D***N on 6 June 2024*

Bachmann split-chassis? Enough in this tube to lubricate hundreds of locomotives and ensure electrical continuity. Does not seem to affect the nylon bushings or other plastic. Black grease. Perfect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a problem with my button batteries losing connectivity ...
*by S***W on 25 July 2018*

I had a problem with my button batteries losing connectivity before the had run down. These were those used out of doors or in a steamy kitchen. (Wireless bell push, dog rouge light etc.) The batteries continue working much longer since I used the tiniest smear of this grease to improve the connectivity. (I’m talking years longer)
