MOLYKOTE 1000
Harmonization Code : 3403.19 | Lubricating Preparations (With 70% or More Petroleum Oils) For Automotive and Other Uses
Main features
- No Intentional PFAS, Lead, or Nickel
- -30 to 650 deg C Service Range
- Consistent Friction and High Load Capacity
Product Description
MOLYKOTE® 1000 Paste is a lead-free, nickel-free, and PFAS-free anti-seize paste designed to optimize friction and reduce wear in threaded fasteners and metal-to-metal joints. Formulated with solid lubricants, powdered metals (including copper and zinc), and mineral oil, it ensures nondestructive dismantling of components even after prolonged exposure to high temperatures up to 650°C (1,202°F). It is heavily relied upon in demanding industrial environments to maintain constant pre-stressing forces through uniform friction coefficients.
Key features
- High-temperature stability: Maintains robust anti-seize performance over a wide service temperature range of -30°C to 650°C (-22°F to 1,202°F).
- Consistent friction and dismantling: Delivers an unchanged coefficient of friction even after multiple bolt retightening and loosening processes, allowing for reliable, nondestructive disassembly.
- High load capacity & corrosion protection: Provides strong corrosion protection and withstands extreme pressures, featuring a four-ball weld load of 4,800 N.
Applications / Suitable for
- Bolted joints subjected to high temperatures and corrosive environments that require eventual retightening or disconnection
- Cylinder head bolts and nozzle head screws in plastic injection molding machines
- Tension rings of centrifuges and heavily loaded threaded connections in the chemical industry
