How does MOLYKOTE work?
MOLYKOTE® coatings are anti-friction, lubricating paint-like products that optimize friction by softening the roughness of surfaces. They contain tiny particles of solid lubricants that are distributed through resin blends and solvents.
What is liquid grease used for?
Like other greases, liquid greases contain a combination of a base oil, a thickener and selected additives. Typical applications for liquid greases are: Lubrication of open or closed gears. Central lubrication systems for commercial vehicles.
What is MOLYKOTE 55 used for?
Dow Molykote 55 is an off-white, silicone based grease for O-rings. This grease is typically used as a lubricant between metal and rubber parts in pneumatic systems in general industrial and automotive applications, as well as in aircraft.
What is MOLYKOTE oil?
Multipurpose mineral oil aerosol. It is suitable for applications in the food, pharmaceutical and similar industries. MOLYKOTE® L-0268 Process Gas Oil.
What is MOLYKOTE paste?
MOLYKOTE® 1000 Paste is a premier lubricant solution for long-term corrosion protection and seizure prevention in metal joints and fasteners. MOLYKOTE® 1000 is formulated with a high-performance mineral oil base and several solid lubricant additives, including graphite and copper for enhanced load carrying capacity.
What is anti friction coatings?
Anti-Friction-Coatings are touch-dry lubricant solutions which, in their formulation, resemble common industrial varnishes. They contain solid lubricants, resins as bonding agents, as well as solvents. Solid lubricant components are mainly molybdenum disulphide, graphite and PTFE.
What is Dow molykote?
Dow Molykote 111 is a high performance silicone compound that is used as a valve lubricant and sealant. The product offers the user many features including great resistance to organic and non-organic compounds, resistance to oxidation, and a wide service temperature range.
Is grease the same as lubricant?
Lubricant – just like grease – is used to lubricate systems or tools. The difference, however, is that grease is a (semi) solid substance that becomes liquid when it starts ‘moving’ while lubricant is already liquid. Penetrating oil: you use this to loosen stuck parts.
Is MOLYKOTE petroleum based?
MOLYKOTE M Gear Oil Additive is engineered from a high-purity mineral oil base and includes solid molybdenum (MOS2) lubricants dispersed that exhibit excellent surface protection in heavy load conditions.
Where is MOLYKOTE made?
Chiba, Japan
The MOLYKOTE® plant in Chiba, Japan, operates as part of DuPont Toray Specialty Materials (DTSM) within the Chiba Toray site, where DTSM manufactures a wide range of materials, including specialty silicones for electronics.
Where is molykote used?
Lead- and nickel-free anti-seize paste used to reduce wear and optimize friction of threaded fasteners, or other metal-to-metal joints, enabling nondestructive dismantling, even after long exposure to high temperatures.
Is molykote anti-seize?
MOLYKOTE® P-37 Paste is a high-quality mineral oil-based anti-seize solution for bolted joints under heavily loaded applications and extreme high temperatures.
What is Teflon coating?
Teflon coating is a synthetic sealant that binds to your car’s paint and forms a layer over it to provide protection from minor scratches. This helps keep the shine on your car lasting for longer, maintaining that new car aesthetic.
Is MOLYKOTE silicone?
Silicone lubricants not only feature low frictional properties, but they also are very resistant to both oxidation and moisture over time. They may be formulated into lubricating greases, compounds, dispersions or pastes.
Is grease better than oil?
For intense friction and high-speed applications, an oil is typically the best choice. But other components that endure heavy loads or move vertically typically require a grease. Grease is engineered to stay in place and provide a longer lasting barrier between metal components, such as wheel-bearings.
What is Molykote grease made of?
MOLYKOTE® G-3000 Grease is a high-performance grease based on a lithium complex thickener and a synthetic base oil including specific additives for the prevention of oxidation.
What is Molykote Br2 plus grease?
MOLYKOTE® BR-2 Plus High Performance Grease is a lithium-soap-thickened, mineral oil grease fortified with MoS2 and other solid lubricants. It is a heavy duty, extreme pressure lubricant with high load-carrying capability at moderate to high speeds.
What type of Grease do you use for bearings?
MOLYKOTE® BG-20 Synthetic Bearing Grease is an NLGI 2-3, lithium-complex-thickened polyolester-based grease for use in high-speed bearings operating across a wide range of temperatures. MOLYKOTE® BG 555 Low Noise Grease is suitable for use in bearings at elevated temperatures for long periods.
