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 exhibiting resistance to weathering and water washout.
The compound offers flexible application methods, accommodating manual application, automated equipment integration, or simple brushing/wiping techniques. For thinner consistency, it can be dispersed in solvents such as xylene, mineral spirits, or methyl ethyl ketone, enabling application via brushing, dipping, or spraying. Its broad compatibility with many plastics and elastomers, coupled with excellent water resistance and a wide service temperature range (-40 C to 204 C), makes it a robust solution for demanding environments. Importantly, MOLYKOTE 111 Compound meets several global water contact standards and is free of intentional PTFE and PFAS.
