MOLYKOTE® M Gear Oil Additive is a mineral oil–based performance additive with solid molybdenum disulfide lubricants for enhanced extreme-pressure capability.

Documents

Product Overview

MOLYKOTE® M Gear Oil Additive is a premium, multipurpose product that enhances the extreme-pressure (EP) capacity for a range of petroleum-based oils and lubricants. MOLYKOTE® M Gear Oil Additive is engineered from a high-purity mineral oil base and includes solid molybdenum (MoS2) lubricants dispersed that exhibit excellent surface protection in heavy-load conditions.

MOLYKOTE® M Gear Oil Additive can be dispersed in most petroleum-based oils with little to no mixing. The blend of phosphorous, sulfur, and chlorine EP agents can result in significant improvements to the load-carrying capacity of the oil compared to oils that contain lead naphthenate. Additionally, the solid lubricant additives found in this gear oil additive have an average particle size of 0.5 microns, allowing the particles to pass through most conventional oil filters. MOLYKOTE® M Gear Oil Additive is designed for use with oils in spray, mist, or wick-type lubrication systems, as well as in oil reservoirs.

Applications

MOLYKOTE® M Gear Oil Additive can be used as a top treat or lubricant enhancer in a very broad range of applications, including the following:

Gear oil systems – low speed and heavy pressure
Bearing systems – plain bearings with oil-based lubricants
Machine tools – top treat in oil reservoir for slides, guideways, screws, servos, transmission, or power delivery systems
Metalworking – excellent EP performance enhancer for machining operations such as broaching, gear hobbling, drilling, tapping, cutting, stamping, punching, drawing, thread rolling, and cold forming.

Features & Benefits

Excellent load-carrying capability at low speed
Compatible with common gear oils
Great antifoaming control
Smooth surface finish on new or reworked gears
Great surface protection and reduced pitting occurrence
Reduced noise generated and total energy required
Great bearing surface protection at low speeds and heavy loads
Reduces stick-slip occurrence in metalworking operation
Increased tool life through greater friction reduction and load protection
Greatly improved cutting action, resulting in a more consistent surface finish

Problems Solved

Insufficient lubricant performance at heavy loads
Heavy surface scarring or wear damage in bearings and gears
Inadequate tool life in metal machining operations
