MOLYKOTE® 101 - Performance Greases

Greases are formulated lubricants that provide particular performance attributes where less viscous oils simply do not work. MOLYKOTE® greases are comprised of three basic types of ingredients: a high-quality base oil, a thickener system, and various additives for different improved performance capabilities. These versatile lubricants have slightly different formulations; however, each grease follows a similar component breakdown of 80% to 90% base oil, 10% to 20% thickener, and 3% to 5% additive.

MOLYKOTE® Greases are ideal solutions for industrial applications where low-viscosity fluids do not provide adequate protection or stay-in-place longevity. In the simplest terms, a grease acts essentially like a sponge; a thickener system holds the lubricating oil in place and will release the fluid under pressure to prevent metal surface wear and damage.
