MOLYKOTE Lubricants
LUBRICANTS
Molykote® Lubricants from Dow Corning
Molykote® high-performance lubrications from Dow
Corning® help reduce friction and wear, extend
lubrication intervals and reduce maintenance and
replacement costs in applications that would defeat
conventional oils and greases. Formulated to withstand
the rigors of heavy loads, dirty, dusty or chemically harsh
environments, temperature and speed extremes,
Molykote lubricants are also ideal for normal service
lubrication.

…..be your guide.
There are six classes of lubricants from which to choose.
Each class has a different physical form with properties
that make it suitable for specific applications:

Semi-synthetic Greases
Molykote® PG-75
Synthetic Greases, PAO
Greases – Solid to semisolid materials consisting
of a lubricating fluid, thickening agent and
additives. Used on rolling element bearings and
other moving parts.
High Performance Industrial Lubricating Oils –
Based on hydroprocessed mineral oils or synthetic
base stocks such as polyalphaolefin (PAO) and
esters, these lubricating fluids are fortified with
carefully selected additives to provide optimum
performance and service life while maximising
protection of the equipment and machinery they
are designed to lubricate.
Pastes – Grease-like materials containing a very
high percentage of solid lubricants. Used for
assembly and lubrication of highly loaded, slow
moving parts for threaded fasteners.

Dispersions – Finely divided solid lubricants
suspended in lubricating fluids; preferred when it is
necessary to apply solid lubricants in liquid form.
Anti-Friction Coatings – “Lubrication paints”;
when applied, these materials cure to form dry,
solid lubricant coatings that are bonded to the
surface.
