MOLYKOTE 557 Silicone Dry Film Lubricant
MOLYKOTE 557 Silicone Dry Film Lubricant An extreme-pressure lubricant providing exceptional release and lubrication, applied as a liquid or aerosol that leaves a wax film after solvent evaporation.
MOLYKOTE 557 Silicone Dry Film Lubricant offers exceptional release and lubricating properties, effective across diverse applications. Supplied as a liquid or aerosol, it dries to a thin wax film after solvent evaporation. Application methods include spraying (from aerosol cans or automatic lubricators), brushing, or dipping; a minimal film thickness is optimal. Its effectiveness stems from its ability to reduce friction and wear across various materials and processes.
This lubricant's benefits are immediately apparent after solvent evaporation. Its colorless and non-staining nature on paper and fabrics makes it suitable for sensitive applications. The thin, dry film ensures minimal interference with product aesthetics or functionality.
