Who has previously used this product “MG Chemicals Premium Carbon Conductive Grease 8481”, share your impressions?
Or its analogues, what are the nuances?
Hi Diessel,
Sorry I have not used that but I have used this below for a few years now and not had any problems.
Äronix contact paste CU 35 ml | 40534
Cheers, Dave.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the recommendation, but it contains aluminum.
Which isn’t universal solution. It’s absolutely not suitable for copper.
Hi Diessel,
but it contains aluminum
Not that i can see on the datasheet, my German is a bit rusty tho…
This product is different because it contains copper.
I would like to find a universal solution and get away from metal fillers. My wishes are that the paste does not spread, does not lose its properties at dynamic temperatures, has good anti-corrosion properties. Also does not require maintenance.
I hear you but this dose cover most of what you want, but if you find something better, please let me know.
Good luck
Dave.
Sure, I’ll let you know.
I’m currently looking at this paste with carbon.
I use other MG Chemicals products, encapsulating potting compound, etc. but I haven’t tried this paste, for quality assessment need experience and time of use it.

We definitely won’t eat it 
All chemicals require caution and personal safety during work.
The manufacturer at least doesn’t hide it and openly states it.
Something that China never does

So very true.
I wanted to mention this only because there might be a local requirement for licensing or assessment, or it could even be prohibited. I know some areas might have specific regulations regarding its use.
Dave.
Noted, thanks.

Maybe we (at least I) mix up some things here…
I agree with @nesswill, as I use the same copper paste to improve electrical conductivity for non-aluminium contacts. Such an improvement can only happen with ingredients that itself contain materials that are able to conduct current.
The other sort of paste is something often used for the poles of an (acid) battery in the car. It is to protect the mounted terminal clamps from getting oxidized (battery terminal grease).
So what exactly you want to achive? What is your priority, to improve the electrical contact, or to protect the contacts from beeing oxidazed?

Hi @Jetlag
Something universal and metal-free.
Ok, I understand.
Unfortunately I don’t know a paste or grease that can solve all these requirements… But if you find something, please let us know.
All this grease talk is giving me chills, and they’re multiplying.. 
I have the same, especially when I look at the client’s installation, which is 8 years old, and the contact group.
