Amorphous solid

In condensed matter physics and materials science, an amorphous solid (or non-crystalline solid) is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal.

See Silicone grease and Amorphous solid

Chromatography

In chemical analysis, chromatography is a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture into its components.

See Silicone grease and Chromatography

Corrosion inhibitor

A corrosion inhibitor or anti-corrosive is a chemical compound added to a liquid or gas to decrease the corrosion rate of a metal that comes into contact with the fluid.

See Silicone grease and Corrosion inhibitor

Crown ether

In organic chemistry, crown ethers are cyclic chemical compounds that consist of a ring containing several ether groups.

See Silicone grease and Crown ether

Decompression sickness (DCS; also called divers' disease, the bends, aerobullosis, and caisson disease) is a medical condition caused by dissolved gases emerging from solution as bubbles inside the body tissues during decompression.

See Silicone grease and Decompression sickness

Dielectric

In electromagnetism, a dielectric (or dielectric medium) is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field.

See Silicone grease and Dielectric

Diving regulator

A diving regulator or underwater diving regulator is a pressure regulator that controls the pressure of breathing gas for underwater diving.

See Silicone grease and Diving regulator

Electric arc

An electric arc (or arc discharge) is an electrical breakdown of a gas that produces a prolonged electrical discharge.

See Silicone grease and Electric arc

Electrical connector

Components of an electrical circuit are electrically connected if an electric current can run between them through an electrical conductor.

See Silicone grease and Electrical connector

Ethanol

Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, drinking alcohol, or simply alcohol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula.

See Silicone grease and Ethanol

Fumed silica

Fumed silica (CAS number 112945-52-5), also known as pyrogenic silica because it is produced in a flame, consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chainlike, three-dimensional secondary particles which then agglomerate into tertiary particles.

See Silicone grease and Fumed silica

Galvanic corrosion

Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion or dissimilar metal corrosion) is an electrochemical process in which one metal corrodes preferentially when it is in electrical contact with another, in the presence of an electrolyte.

See Silicone grease and Galvanic corrosion

Grease (lubricant)

Grease is a solid or semisolid lubricant formed as a dispersion of thickening agents in a liquid lubricant. Silicone grease and Grease (lubricant) are greases.

See Silicone grease and Grease (lubricant)

Ground glass joint

Ground glass joints are used in laboratories to quickly and easily fit leak-tight apparatus together from interchangeable commonly available parts.

See Silicone grease and Ground glass joint

Insulator (electricity)

An electrical insulator is a material in which electric current does not flow freely.

See Silicone grease and Insulator (electricity)

Laboratory glassware

Laboratory glassware refers to a variety of equipment used in scientific work, and traditionally made of glass.

See Silicone grease and Laboratory glassware

Methanol

Methanol (also called methyl alcohol and wood spirit, amongst other names) is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH).

See Silicone grease and Methanol

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), is a spectroscopic technique based on re-orientation of atomic nuclei with non-zero nuclear spins in an external magnetic field.

See Silicone grease and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

O-ring

An O-ring, also known as a packing or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, forming a seal at the interface.

See Silicone grease and O-ring

Operating temperature

An operating temperature is the allowable temperature range of the local ambient environment at which an electrical or mechanical device operates.

See Silicone grease and Operating temperature

Organochlorine chemistry

Organochlorine chemistry is concerned with the properties of organochlorine compounds, or organochlorides, organic compounds containing at least one covalently bonded atom of chlorine.

See Silicone grease and Organochlorine chemistry

Oxygen

Oxygen is a chemical element; it has symbol O and atomic number 8.

See Silicone grease and Oxygen

Partial pressure

In a mixture of gases, each constituent gas has a partial pressure which is the notional pressure of that constituent gas as if it alone occupied the entire volume of the original mixture at the same temperature.

See Silicone grease and Partial pressure

Petroleum jelly

Petroleum jelly, petrolatum, white petrolatum, soft paraffin, or multi-hydrocarbon, CAS number 8009-03-8, is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons (with carbon numbers mainly higher than 25), originally promoted as a topical ointment for its healing properties.

See Silicone grease and Petroleum jelly

Phenyl group

In organic chemistry, the phenyl group, or phenyl ring, is a cyclic group of atoms with the formula, and is often represented by the symbol Ph (archaically φ).

See Silicone grease and Phenyl group

Polydimethylsiloxane

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), also known as dimethylpolysiloxane or dimethicone, is a silicone polymer with a wide variety of uses, from cosmetics to industrial lubrication and passive daytime radiative cooling. Silicone grease and Polydimethylsiloxane are silicones.

See Silicone grease and Polydimethylsiloxane

Polytetrafluoroethylene

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, and has numerous applications because it is chemically inert.

See Silicone grease and Polytetrafluoroethylene

Scuba diving

Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving whereby divers use breathing equipment that is completely independent of a surface breathing gas supply, and therefore has a limited but variable endurance.

See Silicone grease and Scuba diving

Silicone oil

A silicone oil is any liquid polymerized siloxane with organic side chains. Silicone grease and silicone oil are silicones.

See Silicone grease and Silicone oil

Spontaneous combustion

Spontaneous combustion or spontaneous ignition is a type of combustion which occurs by self-heating (increase in temperature due to exothermic internal reactions), followed by thermal runaway (self heating which rapidly accelerates to high temperatures) and finally, autoignition.

See Silicone grease and Spontaneous combustion

Stearic acid

Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain.

See Silicone grease and Stearic acid

Thermal paste

Thermal paste (also called thermal compound, thermal grease, thermal interface material (TIM), thermal gel, heat paste, heat sink compound, heat sink paste or CPU grease) is a thermally conductive (but usually not electrically conductive) chemical compound, which is commonly used as an interface between heat sinks and heat sources such as high-power semiconductor devices.
