MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound
MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound is a dimethyl silicone compound for lubrication, protection, and release applications across various industries, including food processing. MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound is a dimethyl silicone-based product engineered for diverse lubrication and protection needs. Its serviceable temperature range spans from -40 C to 204 C (-40 F to 400 F), and it exhibits properties such as non-volatility, moisture resistance, and electrical insulation. This compound excels as a release agent, lubricant, and sealant, particularly for rubber components, while demonstrating resistance to oxidation and minimal drying out. Importantly, it is approved for food contact applications according to FDA Regulation 21 CFR 175.300 and NSF Standards 51 and 61. The formulation is free of intentional PTFE and PFAS.
Application is straightforward: clean and dry surfaces prior to application. MOLYKOTE 7 can be applied manually or with automated equipment via brushing, wiping, or other suitable methods.
