MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound
MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound is a dimethyl silicone compound for lubrication, protection, and release applications, suitable for food contact and various industrial uses. MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound is a dimethyl silicone-based product engineered for diverse lubrication and protection needs. Its operational temperature range spans -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, and shows high resistance to oxidation and minimal drying. Importantly, it is approved for food contact under FDA regulations (21 CFR 175.300) and meets NSF Standards 51 and 61, making it suitable for food processing equipment and potable water applications. The compound is notably free of PTFE and PFAS.
Application is straightforward, requiring only clean and dry surfaces prior to use. MOLYKOTE 7 can be applied manually or via automated equipment, using methods such as brushing or wiping.
