The grease coats one of the surfaces and acts as a shield against outside elements such as water, dust, and salt.When applied to battery terminals, it forms a layer of protection against corrosion and prevents other chemicals from contacting them.<h2>Is Dielectric Grease Conductive?</h2>Despite the ‘electric’ in its name, dielectric grease does not conduct electricity. It barely allows electrical interference. Hence, it needs no telling that it won’t improve electrical current flow in any way despite some beliefs otherwise.It’s also why you shouldn’t apply it to sockets or pins that need to make a solid connection. Too much dielectric grease can compromise the quality of the connection.</blockquote>
