MOLYKOTE M-77 Paste
MOLYKOTE M-77 Paste is a versatile solid lubricant paste formulated with a silicone carrier oil. It's designed for lubricating components operating under low to moderate loads and speeds, even in the presence of water or extreme temperatures. The paste provides effective lubrication up to +230 C (+446 F), transitioning to dry lubrication up to an impressive +400 C (+662 F) as the carrier oil volatilizes, leaving behind a minimal residue. This makes it ideal for applications where conventional mineral oil-based lubricants are unsuitable.
Its compatibility with various elastomers and plastics, coupled with excellent water resistance and low volatility, ensures reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions. Application is straightforward, using common methods like brushes, spatulas, grease guns, or automated lubrication systems, and it's also suitable for integration into central lubrication systems. The product boasts a 36-month shelf life when stored unopened below 20 C (68 F).
