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's unique formulation prevents gasket adhesion to metal surfaces and offers superior resistance to weathering and water washout, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
Application is straightforward and adaptable to various production methods. MOLYKOTE 111 Compound can be applied manually, using automated equipment, or through brushing/wiping techniques. 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. This flexibility makes it suitable for both small-scale manual tasks and large-scale automated processes.
The compound demonstrates excellent water resistance and compatibility with numerous plastics and elastomers. It boasts a wide operating temperature range, from -40 C to 204 C, and meets several global standards for water contact. Importantly, MOLYKOTE 111 Compound is formulated without intentional polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
