MOLYKOTE TP-42 Paste
MOLYKOTE TP-42 Paste is a high-load, adhesive grease-paste with solid lubricants for metallic friction applications, offering excellent washout resistance and corrosion protection. MOLYKOTE TP-42 Paste is a light-colored adhesive grease designed for metallic components experiencing friction. Its formulation incorporates solid lubricants to provide a high load-carrying capacity and exceptional adhesion, ensuring it remains effective under demanding operating conditions, including those involving water and metal machining emulsions. The paste effectively mitigates stick-slip, promoting smooth and consistent movement of treated parts.
This product offers significant advantages in terms of both performance and environmental responsibility. It provides robust corrosion protection and prevents galling, which extends the lifespan of the treated components. Importantly, MOLYKOTE TP-42 Paste is free from intentionally added polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Application is straightforward, requiring only thorough cleaning of the surfaces prior to application via brush, rag, or grease gun. Mixing with other lubricants is not recommended.
