MOLYKOTE 3451 Chemical Resistant Bearing Grease
MOLYKOTE 3451 is a fluorosilicone grease engineered for demanding applications in anti-friction bearings. Its formulation provides superior chemical resistance, ensuring reliable lubrication even when exposed to water, fuels, oils, and various solvents. This grease is specifically designed to withstand extreme operating conditions, including wide temperature variations, heavy loads, and high speeds. The product's robust nature makes it suitable for environments where other lubricants would fail.
MOLYKOTE 3451 offers a reliable lubrication range from -40 F to 450 F (-40 C to 232 C). Application is simple, using standard methods such as brushing, grease guns, or automated application equipment. The grease has a shelf life of 60 months when stored at or below 90 F (32 C). It's crucial to note that this product should not be used on surfaces intended for subsequent painting.
Key Features:
- Superior chemical resistance to water, fuels, oils, and solvents.
