MOLYKOTE® Product Lines
| Product Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Greases | Solid to semisolid materials consisting of a lubricating fluid, thickening agent and additives. Used on rolling element bearings and other moving parts. |
| Compounds | Greaselike materials composed of silicone fluids and silica fillers. Used for their sealing, dielectric and nonmetal-to-metal lubricating properties. |
| Pastes | Greaselike materials containing a very high percentage of solid lubricants. Used for assembly and lubrication of highly loaded, slow-moving parts or threaded fasteners. |
| Oils & fluids | Lubricating fluids fortified with carefully selected additives to provide optimum performance and service life while maximizing protection. |
| Dispersions | Finely divided solid lubricants suspended in lubricating fluids; preferred when it is necessary to apply solid lubricants in liquid form. |
| Anti-friction coatings | “Lubricating paints”; when applied, these materials cure to form dry, solid lubricant coatings that are bonded to the surface. |
