AeroShell Grease 43C is primarily intended for use in pneumatic systems as a lubricant between rubber seals and metal parts (under dynamic conditions). AeroShell Grease 43C is also suitable for use in pressurised cabin bulkhead grommets and other mechanisms requiring rubber to metal lubrication and is also an excellent lubricant for metal on metal surfaces.
AeroShell Grease 43C should not be used with certain types of rubber without determining the compatibility between the rubber and this grease.
