NLGI is a measure of the stiffness of silicone grease with NLGI 1 being the least stiff and NLGI 3 being the stiffest. Due to its light consistency, NLGI#1 is the preferred consistency for lubricating and insulating scuba wet suits and equipment. However, if stiffer grease is preferred, we also carry an NLGI#2 (Silicone Grease 3005) as well as an NLGI #3.
Properties:
- 100% Silicone Grease….contains no petroleum distillates
