MOLYKOTE® Brands

One type of lubricant can't "do it all". Therefore, DuPont provides six MOLYKOTE® types to meet your wide range of lubrication requirements.

Industrial Greases

These semi-solid lubricants, available in a range of consistencies, meet needs for severe-duty performance under high loads, in harsh environments, across wide temperature ranges and from slow to high speeds. The solid to semi-solid materials contain a lubricating fluid, thickening agent and additives. Specialized base oils include silicone, fluorosilicone and PFPE (per fluoropolyether). Applications for these greases include gears, all types of bearings, conveyor systems, slides, drives, pumps, valves, seats and shafts.

Silicone Compounds

Grease like materials can serve a dual function of lubricating and sealing under light loads and high temperatures on metals, plastics, glass or rubber. Silicone fluids and inert silica fillers provide good resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation while maintaining key properties over a wide temperature range. Some of these products are certified (NSF 61) for use in food and beverage applications, as well as for uses involving potable water.

Lubricating Oils

Performance-enhancing additives in synthetic or mineral oils meet lubrication requirements in compressors, pumps, gearboxes, chain drives, hydraulics and more. Different base oils and lubricating solids are blended with a solvent carrier that evaporates, leaving a wet-film lubricant in place.

Anti-Seize Pastes

Contain high levels of lubricating solids for protecting industrial equipment components from galling, fretting corrosion and seizure or damage under high loads. Even if the grease or carrier oil is squeezed out or thrown off under load, the solids form a strong lubricating film on metal surfaces.

Anti-Friction Coatings

Provide durable, dry-film bonded lubrication for parts industry, dirty environments and those inaccessible for re-lubrication. Often described as “lubricating paints,” these anti-friction coatings (AFCs) coat parts with a dry, slippery film that fills in surface roughness and optimizes wear-surface friction, even under extreme loads and operating conditions.

Lubricating Solids, Powders, and Dispersions

Specialized additives for extreme-load lubrication and for adding precise friction-control properties to industrial materials. A range of carefully formulated inorganic lubricating solids and powders can stabilize friction, improve friction recovery and remain stable under extreme temperatures.
