Even the earliest battery terminals on vehicles were lubricated – today, electrical contacts are more diverse and demanding. Lubricants extend service life, improve the feel of switching operations, and protect against corrosion. Typical applications range from switches and connectors to potentiometers and sensors. The requirements depend on the materials, location, and load: corrosion protection against road salt or condensation, wear protection during frequent plugging and unplugging, and material compatibility with plastics such as ABS, PA, PBT, or PC. ELKALUB offers customized contact lubricants that have proven themselves in practical use and in series production – including UV markers for precise dosing control.

Lubricants for electrical contacts perform several functions: They protect metal surfaces from corrosion, minimize mechanical wear, and reduce contact resistance. This ensures consistent conductivity, even under vibration or fluctuating temperatures.
Another key aspect is the switching feel: By precisely balancing static and sliding friction, stick-slip effects can be avoided, which improves ease of use and reduces noise. Material compatibility is also crucial for users and buyers. ELKALUB products are compatible with common plastics and elastomers, including stress-crack-prone polycarbonate.
Many contact protection greases contain UV markers that make it easy to monitor the amount applied. Due to widely varying requirements, most products are developed as custom solutions.
