History
Based on a “slippery metal” ore discovered in the 18th century, Molykote
lubricants debuted as “the purest molybdenum disulfide” in 1948. Alpha Molykote
introduced this new dimension in lubrication and proceeded to develop many
application-matched formulations and establish strong regional sales support
worldwide. Dow Corning acquired the operations in the ’60s, added global
marketing strength and expanded its offerings with silicone-based lubricants.
Growth accelerated and success increased as the brand enjoyed a steady flow of
new product development, technical support and enhanced service from a growing
body of channel partners. Molykote technical applications centers, serving
global customers, now operate in many countries like the U.S., Germany, Japan
and India. Over the last 20 years, expanded product choices and expert service
have driven continued growth. Molykote celebrates
60 Years of
Smart Success
