MOLYKOTE M-77 Paste
MOLYKOTE M-77 Paste is a high-temperature silicone-based 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 lubricating components operating under low to moderate loads and speeds, even in the presence of water or extreme temperatures. This paste provides effective lubrication up to +230 C (+446 F) in paste form, transitioning to dry lubrication up to +400 C (+662 F) as the carrier oil volatilizes, leaving behind a minimal residue. Its compatibility with various elastomers and plastics makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. The paste's excellent water resistance and low volatility ensure reliable performance in demanding conditions. Application is straightforward, using common methods such as brushes, spatulas, grease guns, or automated lubricating systems; it is also suitable for use in central lubrication systems. The product offers a shelf life of 36 months when stored unopened below 20 C (68 F). Above +230 C (+446 F), the silicone carrier evaporates, leaving a dry lubricating film effective up to +400 C (+662 F).
