Molykote® lets you select the right product early in the manufacturing
process to improve product start up and reduce costs by minimizing design
changes. Proper lubrication selection can also prevent component
failures, eliminate costly warranty callbacks, and improve customer
satisfaction. They are designed to increase:

| Greases |
| Designed
for dynamic metal-to-metal, metal-to-rubber, metal-to-plastic and
plastic-to-plastic applications. They have excellent resistance to
thermal degradation and are fortified with solid lubricant additive technology
to provide effective lubrication under extreme load conditions. High
performance fluorinated greases extend service at higher temperatures and loads
and in harsh chemical environments. |
| Compounds |
| Silicone
compounds are grease like lubricants which are resistant to oxidation while
maintaining their properties over a wide temperature range. They are
ideal as non-curing sealants or as release agents between metal and
elastomers. |
| Pastes |
| These
lubricants have high concentrations of solid lubricants. They are used where a
high concentration of solid lubricant is required, such as initial run-in and
areas exposed to high loads. |
| Lubricating Solids |
| These lubricants are primarily used
as additives for plastics and friction lining formulations to improve wear
resistance and control friction |
| Anti-Friction
Coatings |
| In simple terms, anti-friction
coatings can be thought of as lubricating paints. They typically contain a
solid lubricant and a binder dispersed in solvent carrier. The coating forms a
dry lubricating film to help prevent corrosion and is aesthetically pleasing.
Anti-friction coatings are ideal for dusty environments or for inaccessible
areas that need long-term lubrication
