It is- we used to use silicone oil because of its properties to cool Klystrons and magnetrons with work. But we are talking abut stuff that costs over £1000 a gallon though.

WHat do you want to insulate with it?

I thought of using it to fill the rear of my towing socket, where the wires connect, to prevent corrosion. LANDYWATCH

Perfect for that job as it isn't THAT insulative.
