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 exhibits excellent resistance to washout from water, fuels, oils, and solvents. Its robust formulation ensures long-lasting lubrication even in harsh environments. The grease is designed for valve lubrication and can be applied using standard methods such as brushing, grease guns, or automatic applicators.
MOLYKOTE 3452 maintains its lubricating properties across a broad temperature range of -20 to 450 F (-29 to 232 C). It resists degradation from various harsh chemicals including solvents, acids, and chlorides, as well as low-pressure steam and condensate. The product has a shelf life of 60 months when stored at or below 90 F (32 C). While minor oil separation may occur during storage, this does not compromise lubricating effectiveness; simply stir the grease before use.
