Description
About MOLYKOTE® 106 Anti-Friction Coating (500g)
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® 106 is a heat-curing, solid film lubricant (anti-friction coating) designed to reduce friction and wear on metal surfaces, particularly under conditions of high load and slow to medium speeds. It forms a dry, durable lubricating film after curing, providing long-term protection even in dusty or chemically aggressive environments. MOLYKOTE® 106 is ideal for applications where conventional greases or oils are not suitable or where a clean, dry lubrication is required.
KEY FEATURES:
Dry Lubrication
Forms a solid lubricating film that reduces friction and wear without attracting dust or dirt.
High Load-Carrying Capacity
Provides excellent wear protection and load-carrying capability for components exposed to high mechanical stress.
Excellent Adhesion
Adheres strongly to properly prepared metal surfaces, ensuring reliable and long-lasting lubrication.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively from approximately -70°C to +250°C, supporting use in a broad range of industrial environments.
Corrosion Protection
Offers good protection against corrosion, extending component life even in challenging operating conditions.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Sliding Metal Surfaces – Lubrication of guide rails, cams, and sliding tracks under high load and intermittent motion.
-
Threaded Connections – Applied to bolts, screws, and threaded parts to prevent seizure and enable easier disassembly.
-
Bearings and Bushings – Suitable for dry lubrication of plain bearings, bushings, and similar components where wet lubricants are impractical.
-
Press-Fits and Assembly Lubrication – Facilitates assembly and prevents stick-slip or fretting corrosion in press-fit components.
-
Aerospace and Industrial Machinery – Used in environments requiring dry lubrication and resistance to contamination.
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® 106 is typically supplied in 500g cans and other packaging formats depending on regional availability and application requirements.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
-
Surface Preparation: Clean and degrease surfaces thoroughly. For optimal adhesion, mechanically roughen surfaces (e.g., by grit blasting).
-
Application: Apply the coating by spraying, brushing, or dipping to achieve a thin, even film.
-
Curing: Allow the coating to air dry, then heat-cure according to the recommended curing schedule to develop full performance properties.
-
Maintenance: Inspect periodically and reapply as needed depending on wear and operating conditions.
SAFETY AND HANDLING:
MOLYKOTE® 106 contains organic solvents and should be used in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles. Keep away from open flames and sources of ignition. Refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety, handling, and disposal information.
