Molykote® Pastes contain a high concentration of solid lubricants for protecting industrial components from galling, fretting corrosion, stick slip, seizure or damage. They provide corrosion protection, water washout resistance and a consistent co-efficient of friction. These solid lubricants remain in place and maintain a lubricating layer – even at high temperature and under heavy loads – to help with longterm lubrication.
Types of Pastes
Molykote® Pastes are composed of base oil, solid lubricants and additives. The base oil acts as a carrier while the major lubrication is imparted by solid lubricants like copper, graphite, molybdenum disulphide, PTFE and white solids.

Application of Pastes
Molykote® Pastes perform exceptionally well in the boundary lubrication regime – low speed and high load – as well as high temperature. Some of the potential applications are:
- Thread lubrication (bolted joints)
- Assembly lubrication of closely fitted components
- Lifetime lubrication
- Corrosion protection
- Chain lubrication
- Brakes mechanisms
- Shafts, gears, bushings and splines
- Electrical contact lubricant
- Marine applications
- Chuck lubrication
