MOLYKOTE 3451 Chemical Resistant Bearing Grease
MOLYKOTE 3451 is a fluorosilicone grease engineered for demanding applications in anti-friction bearings. Its formulation provides exceptional chemical resistance, making it suitable for environments where exposure to water, fuels, oils, and solvents is common. This grease ensures reliable lubrication across a wide temperature range, from -40 F to 450 F (-40 C to 232 C), while maintaining performance under varying loads and speeds. The grease is compatible with most gaskets, seals, and packings.
Application is simple and can be achieved through conventional methods such as brushing, grease guns, or automated applicators. For optimal shelf life, store the grease at or below 90 F (32 C); under these conditions, it maintains its quality for 60 months from the date of manufacture. Note that MOLYKOTE 3451 is not recommended for surfaces intended for subsequent painting.
