MOLYKOTE 3452 Chemical Resistant Valve Grease
MOLYKOTE 3452 is a fluorosilicone grease designed for demanding applications where superior chemical resistance is critical. This lubricant is compatible with a wide range of gaskets, seals, and packings and resists washout from water, fuels, oils, and solvents. It maintains effectiveness in harsh environments, providing long-lasting lubrication for valves and other components.
Application is straightforward using conventional methods such as brushing, grease guns, or automatic applicators. MOLYKOTE 3452 exhibits a serviceable temperature range from -20 to 450 F (-29 to 232 C). The product resists degradation from solvents, acids, chlorides, and other aggressive chemicals, as well as low-pressure steam and condensate. Storage recommendations include keeping the product at or below 90 F (32 C) for a shelf life of 60 months; minor oil separation during storage is normal and easily corrected by stirring.
