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. A key benefit is its ability to prevent gaskets from sticking to metal surfaces, while also offering resistance to weathering and water washout.
The compound's application is adaptable to various methods, accommodating both manual and automated processes. It can be applied directly, brushed, or wiped onto surfaces. For applications requiring a thinner consistency, the compound can be dispersed in solvents such as xylene, mineral spirits, or methyl ethyl ketone before application via brushing, dipping, or spraying. Post-application, MOLYKOTE 111 demonstrates excellent water resistance and compatibility with a wide range of plastics and elastomers.
