Product Description
MOLYKOTE G-2008 Synthetic Tool & Gear Grease is a dark-gray PAO/lithium grease with solid lubricants for high-speed gears and high-shear mechanical contacts. The NLGI 2 formulation uses a 30 cSt base oil at 40 deg C and operates from -40 to 130 deg C. It is applied through conventional grease methods, including brush, grease gun, and manual or automated dispensing. Primary uses include planetary, worm, spur, and helical gears in power tools and drills, plus cables, gears, and selected bearings exposed to high shear.
Key features
- High-Speed Gear Lubrication: The formulation is intended for planetary, worm, spur, and helical gears in compatible power tools and drills.
- 30 cSt Synthetic Base Oil: A fully synthetic PAO base oil provides low-viscosity flow at 40 deg C.
- Controlled Bleed and Evaporation: Typical 24-hour results at 100 deg C are below 5.0 wt% oil bleed and below 1.0 wt% evaporation.
Applications / Suitable for
- Planetary, worm, spur, and helical gears.
- Compatible power tools and drills.
- High-shear cables, gears, and selected bearings.
