MOLYKOTE P-1042 Adhesive Grease Paste
MOLYKOTE P-1042 Adhesive Grease Paste is a premium lubricant engineered for demanding applications involving high-pressure sliding surfaces, particularly those exposed to water or metal-machining emulsions. This light beige paste offers exceptional performance benefits including a high load-carrying capacity, superior resistance to washout, and effective protection against tribo-corrosion, stick-slip, and galling. These features contribute to smoother operation, reduced wear, and prolonged lifespan of critical components.
Formulated with mineral oil and polyalphaolefin (PAO) technology, this grease paste boasts an NLGI grade of 1-2, ensuring optimal consistency and adherence. It maintains its effectiveness across a wide temperature range, from -25 C to 500 C. The adhesive properties of the paste ensure it remains in place even under severe operating conditions, providing continuous lubrication and protection. Notably, it is manufactured without intentional polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
While specific application instructions may vary depending on the equipment and operating environment, it is generally recommended to apply a thin, even layer of MOLYKOTE P-1042 to clean, dry surfaces. Regular application as part of a preventative maintenance schedule will maximize its benefits.
