From The Pedal To The Pad - Safety, Dependability, Comfort and Value. Designed to work under extremes of load, speed and temperature, as well as in exposure to water and dust, Molykote® lubricants have excellent thermal stability, mechanical and oxidative resistance and offer good compatibility with elastomers commonly used in automotive brake systems, such as EPDM, neoprene, and others.
