Prices may varyHealth score is for adult use as intended, per the manufacturer's SDS. It does not model child ingestion, accidental spill cleanup, or off-label use. See the safety panel below for full hazard classification, and /disclaimer for the full editorial scope.
GHS hazard codes are quoted from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet. PPE tiers below translate those codes and the listed ingredient chemistry; they are not CarCareTruth recommendations.

Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
SDS Section 8 calls for safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields, and Section 11 reports the paste may cause eye irritation on contact. Section 2 carries no H319 code (product is NOT CLASSIFIED), so this is direct-contact irritation, not a mixture-level eye hazard.

Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
SDS Section 8 calls for chemical resistant, impermeable gloves, and Section 11 reports the paste may cause skin irritation on contact. Section 2 carries no skin-hazard GHS code, so this reflects ordinary contact irritation from a fumed-silica paste, not a corrosive or sensitizing mixture.

Only when: in enclosed space · hot panels
Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
SDS Section 8 calls for a NIOSH-approved respirator only if exposure limits are potentially exceeded, which a sealed paste in normal home use doesn't reach; enclosed_space covers poorly-ventilated work areas. Section 11 separately notes that heating this silicone paste above 300°F releases formaldehyde vapor, a respiratory sensitizer, so application near hot exhaust or manifold surfaces is the elevated_temperature trigger. Section 2 carries no inhalation GHS code.

Scope of these PPE tiers. The tiers on this page translate the product's Safety Data Sheet where one is published, plus its ingredient chemistry, into a comparable rating. They describe a formulation, not a situation: a tier is not a safety determination for any specific user, task, quantity, or environment. The manufacturer's label and use instructions govern how the product is handled. Where the product is used at work, the employer's PPE program and hazard assessment under 29 CFR 1910.132 decide what protection is selected, not this page.
No warranties. CarCareTruth makes no warranties, express or implied, and expressly disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

TL;DR Solid protection for spark plug boots, trailer connectors, and battery terminals; it's highly rated on Amazon and broadly trusted by owners, though no multi-season community teardown data is available to confirm long-term hold.
This Loctite tube lays a moisture-proof silicone barrier on spark plug boots, trailer hitch connectors, and battery terminals, blocking salt, dirt, and water to stop pin oxidation and voltage leakage. A thin coat inside a boot or on connector pins takes under a minute. The standard 80ml tube works well for routine home service; apply sparingly to avoid flooding multi-pin connectors.
Best for anyone doing a spark plug service, maintaining trailer or tow-vehicle connectors, or protecting battery terminals in a wet climate. The tube format is cost-effective for multi-vehicle households. Skip it if you only need one connector's worth; a single-use packet from a generic brand costs less.
The 2025 SDS carries no GHS hazard classifications; the signal word is absent. A California Prop 65 listing appears in SDS §15, related to a substance in the formulation. Even so, SDS Section 8 calls for eye protection and chemical-resistant gloves, and Section 11 reports skin and eye irritation on contact, so goggles/glasses and gloves are recommended for handling. A respirator is only a situational precaution, for poorly-ventilated spaces or if the paste is applied near hot exhaust or manifold surfaces (heating above 300°F can release formaldehyde vapor per SDS §11).
CarCareTruth scores Loctite 37535 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease at 7.1 out of 10 on the composite CCT score, with a health sub-score of 8.5/10. The CCT score blends real-world effectiveness, ingredient health impact pulled from the manufacturer's safety sheet, and environmental footprint against a published category rubric. See the methodology link on this page for the full scoring breakdown.
