MOLYKOTE P-1042

Main features

  • 9,000 N Weld Load
  • Water-Emulsion Washout Resistance
  • High-Tack Metal Surface Adhesion

Product Description

MOLYKOTE P-1042 Adhesive Grease Paste is a light-beige, lithium-soap grease paste with mineral and synthetic oils, solid lubricants, and an adhesion improver for demanding metal-to-metal sliding contacts. The NLGI 1-2 paste carries a typical 9,000 N four-ball weld load and resists washout by water and metal-machining emulsions under the stated tests. Its paste service range is -25 to 120 deg C, while the solid-lubricant portion remains functional at 500 deg C. Application methods include brush, spatula, grease gun, automatic device, and central lubrication systems.

Key features

  • 9,000 N Weld Load: The four-ball weld-load result is measured by DIN 51350, Part 4.
  • Water-Emulsion Resistance: Static water resistance and washout tests support use around water and metal-machining emulsions.
  • High-Tack Metal Adhesion: The light-colored grease paste contains an adhesion improver for retention on metallic contact surfaces.

Applications / Suitable for

  • High-pressure metal-to-metal sliding surfaces.
  • Clamping tools exposed to water emulsions from metal machining.
  • Harsh contacts operating under combined load, temperature, or humidity.
