MOLYKOTE M-77 Paste
MOLYKOTE M-77 Paste is a silicone-based, high-temperature lubricant paste for low-to-moderate load applications. MOLYKOTE M-77 Paste is a solid lubricant paste formulated with a silicone carrier oil. It's designed for lubrication in conditions involving low to moderate loads, low speeds, water exposure, and extreme temperatures, offering effective lubrication up to +230 C (+446 F) as a paste and dry lubrication up to +400 C (+662 F). Its excellent water resistance and low volatility make it compatible with a wide range of elastomers and plastics, making it ideal for applications where mineral oil-based lubricants are unsuitable.
The paste is easily applied using various methods, including brushes, spatulas, grease guns, or automated lubrication systems, and is also suitable for use in centralized lubrication systems. Above +230 C (+446 F), the silicone carrier volatilizes, leaving behind a dry lubricating film that maintains lubrication up to +400 C (+662 F). Properly stored (below 20 C/68 F in unopened containers), the product has a shelf life of 36 months.
