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 gasket adhesion to metal surfaces while offering resistance to weathering and water washout.
Application methods are flexible and adaptable to various manufacturing processes. The 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, enabling application via brushing, dipping, or spraying.
The compound demonstrates excellent water resistance and compatibility with numerous plastics and elastomers. It boasts a wide operational temperature range, from -40 C to 204 C, and meets several global standards for water contact. Importantly, the formulation is free from intentionally added polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
