DOW CORNING -3 Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Dow Corning 3 silicone lubricant, also known as DC 3 silicone compound, is a silicone based lubricant and release agent used in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications. This silicone compound provides reliable lubrication, moisture resistance, and stability across a broad temperature range. When used in assemblies containing O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, compatibility should be evaluated to avoid swelling or softening of certain rubber materials. Proper handling, storage, and appropriate protective measures help maintain safe operation and long term performance.
