Often described as “lubricating paints,” MOLYKOTE® Anti-Friction Coatings contain solid lubricants dispersed through carefully selected resin blends and solvents. Our anti-friction coatings help customers improve safety, reliability and performance by controlling friction and wear, preventing component failures, extending lubrication intervals, and reducing production and operating costs.
Economical to apply, long-lasting and valued in uses where other lubricants fail, MOLYKOTE® AFCs provide:  

• Dry, clean lubrication unaffected by dust, dirt and moisture
• Lifetime lubrication without aging, evaporation or oxidation
• Rust prevention without surface treatments (e.g., galvanizing)
• Non-flammable, nonstaining protection on metals, plastics and elastomers  
• Controlled film thickness for exact load-bearing capabilities  
• Fully effective lubrication, even after prolonged shutdown 

Our range of AFCs has been used in many sectors such as Automotive, Textile, Aerospace, Machining andChemical Manufacturing.

MOLYKOTE® Compounds are versatile problem-solvers in challenging sealing and lubricating uses. The grease-like materials with silicone fluids and inert silica fillers provide good resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation while maintaining key properties over a wide temperature range. 

Consider using these Smart Lubrication™ solutions as: 

• Release agents on plastics and elastomers 

• O-ring assembly lubricants 

• Dual-purpose lubricants and sealants on valve packings and seats 

• Dielectric moisture barriers on electrical equipment  

MOLYKOTE® Compounds do not conduct electricity and can serve in a dual role as non-curing sealants and lubricants.  Many products are NSF 51 and NSF 61 certified for use in food and beverage applications, as well as uses involving potable water and are used by a wide variety of Food Processing and Pharmaceutical Companies. 

Preferred when it is necessary to apply solid lubricants in liquid form, MOLYKOTE® Dispersions are finely divided solid lubricants suspended in lubricating fluids and are suitable for automatic dispensing systems. 

These specialty lubricants are used for dry-film lubrication of sliding contacts; lubricating extreme-temperature chains, conveyors and bearings; cutting and sewing operations; release from a variety of surfaces; and more.  

Our high-performance dispersions offer advantages, including: 

• Reduced friction and sticking 

• Extreme resistance to corrosive or salty environments 

• Stability over a wide temperature range 

• Food contact/release 

• Metal protection 

MOLYKOTE® Greases are made to withstand severe-duty conditions. With a full range of high-performance greases – solid to semisolid materials with a lubricating fluid, thickening agent and additives – we have what you need: 

• High-temperature performance exceeding 180°C (356°F) 

• Low-temperature performance down to -40°C (-40°F) and, in some cases, as low as -73°C (-99°F) 

• Resistance to chemicals, such as solvents, fuels, acids and more 

• Good corrosion protection, with resistance to moisture, oxidation and water washout 

• Solid lubricants to increase protection on wear surfaces 

• Specialized bases, including silicone, fluorosilicone and PFPE (perfluoropolyether) oils  

MOLYKOTE® Greases are suitable for a wide range of applications, including gears, all types of bearings, conveyor systems, slides, drives, pumps, valves, seats and shafts.  

Many of these greases have been successfully used in Oven and Kiln Conveyor chains in many Automotive/Auto Component Manufacturers, and in the Stenter Chains of Textile Industries. The high chemical resistance of these products ensures that the greases and oils do not stain the components, especially in overhead chain conveyors.

Specify MOLYKOTE® Oils and Fluids to meet high-performance lubrication requirements with special-purpose fluids, blends, additives and solids. 

With a range of viscosities with good oxidation stability and good temperature stability, our oils and fluids are fortified with carefully selected additives to provide optimum performance and service life while maximizing protection of the equipment and machinery they are designed to lubricate. 

You can get the job done right in compressors, pumps, gearboxes, chain drives, hydraulics and much more with specialty and multipurpose oils and fluids from MOLYKOTE®. 

MOLYKOTE® Pastes are specialty lubricants designed and engineered to help you solve difficult lubrication-related problems and save energy by reducing friction and wear. These grease-like materials contain a high concentration of solid lubricants dispersed in oil for convenient application. Even if the carrier oil is squeezed out under load or driven off by temperature, these solids form and maintain a strong lubricating film on both metal and polymer surfaces. Mostly used in the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries, Textile Industries, General Manufacturing, Plastics and Aerospace Industries. 

They offer: 

• Prevention of stress corrosion cracking, solder embrittlement, fatigue and pitting 

• Release and sealing properties 

• Aging resistance 

• Wide service-temperature range 

• Water resistance 

• Consistent coefficient of friction 

MOLYKOTE® Pastes often are used to reduce friction and wear on assembly press-fits and during startup. They also are used on threaded connections to ensure proper tightening torque, aid in non-destructive disassembly and reduce connection failure in service.
