1. Because silicone spray is water resistant, it also can protect items from moisture. You can use it on home, automotive, and marine metals as a rust retardant. I know that painted hinges, such as on my van, tend to rust because the paint chips off. The silicone spray not only protects the outside paint, but can creep into the hinge to keep it.
2. One downside to grease is that because it’s so thick and sticky, it can cause resistance in small or fast-moving mechanisms. Uses: Gears, bearings, chains, linkages Types: White lithium grease, marine grease, silicone grease.

Grease and anti-seize are popular options for industrial assembly processes. Yet while they both aid in end-product functionality and durability, it’s important to understand their distinct differences.

Grease

Because lithium grease is petroleum based, it's not recommended for use around plastics and rubber where it'll cause these to prematurely fail. These applications are better served by silicone grease. Silicone grease, on the other hand, works better in low temperature, low stress applications around plastics and rubber. Lithium grease is a great choice for garage parts. It’s long-lasting, resistant to temperature fluctuations, and handles friction well. Silicone: Another great option, silicone sprays work well on mechanical parts. Like lithium grease, silicone withstands temperature and lasts a long time. Keep reading the article on Lithium grease vs silicone grease to know the answer, What’s the Difference? Let’s Start # Introduction to Silicone Grease. As the name suggests, silicone grease is made from silicone oil along with a thicker. Silicone grease is sometimes mentioned as dielectric grease, and it is waterproof.

Ideal for fast-moving, low load applications, grease is formulated with a base oil and a thickener. Containing no solids or low solids, grease enables parts, such as high-speed automotive ball bearings, to move rapidly without making contact.

However, grease alone is not suitable for extremely high load and/or very high temperature applications. This is because the oil burns off around 400°F, and its film is not strong enough to hold against pressure from asperity contact.

Anti-Seize

Designed to convert torque to tightening force more efficiently, anti-seize is formulated with high solids content and a carrier grease. Because of its high solids content, anti-seize can handle high load applications while still providing lubrication and friction reduction.

However, anti-seize is not suitable for fast-moving applications, as its high solids content can cause parts to jam.

Yet unlike grease, the solid lubricant in anti-seize can withstand high temperatures and protect parts from galling and seizure even under extremely stressful environments. This makes it ideal for many nut, bolt and press fit applications.
