MOLYKOTE 111 Compound
MOLYKOTE 111 Compound is a versatile silicone paste designed for lubrication and sealing applications across diverse industries. Its primary uses include lubricating and sealing control and pressure plug valves, water softener and faucet valves, and components within vacuum and pressure systems. The compound effectively prevents gaskets from adhering to metal surfaces, and demonstrates significant resistance to weathering and water washout.
Application methods are flexible and adaptable to various manufacturing processes. MOLYKOTE 111 Compound can be applied manually, using automated equipment, or by brushing or wiping. For applications requiring a thinner consistency, the compound can be dispersed in solvents such as xylene, mineral spirits, or methyl ethyl ketone prior to application via brushing, dipping, or spraying.
The product's key properties include excellent water resistance and broad compatibility with a variety of plastics and elastomers. MOLYKOTE 111 Compound boasts a wide operational temperature range, from -40 C to 204 C, and adheres to several global standards for water contact. Importantly, the compound is formulated without the intentional inclusion of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
