Molykote 165 LT 1kg Gear Lubricant – Open Gear Grease for High Load Wear Protection Original Product

About Molykote® 165 LT Grease

OVERVIEW:

Molykote® 165 LT is a high-performance extreme-pressure (EP) grease formulated for use in low-temperature and heavy-load applications. Thickened with lithium soap and enhanced with solid lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), it is designed to provide reliable lubrication and wear protection in environments where conventional greases may become ineffective. The grease is especially suited for slow- to moderate-speed bearings and sliding mechanisms exposed to high mechanical loads or shock conditions.

KEY FEATURES:

Low-Temperature Performance
Formulated to remain functional in temperatures as low as approximately -50°C, supporting operation in cold environments without significant loss of consistency.

Solid Lubricant Fortification
Contains molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) to help reduce friction and wear under boundary lubrication conditions.

Extreme Pressure Resistance
Provides load-carrying capability for applications subject to high mechanical stress, helping to protect components from galling and scuffing.

Oxidation and Water Resistance
Offers resistance to oxidation and water washout, supporting grease stability over extended service intervals in harsh environments.

Adhesive Characteristics
Adheres well to metal surfaces, helping to maintain a protective lubricating film even under vibration or impact.

APPLICATIONS:

• Heavy Machinery and Construction Equipment – Applied to bearings, joints, and bushings operating under load or in cold outdoor conditions.

• Industrial Gear and Guide Mechanisms – Suitable for sliding parts, track rollers, and plain bearings subject to heavy stress.

• Automotive Components – Used in areas requiring EP protection and low-temperature start-up lubrication, such as steering linkages or chassis points.

• Railway and Mining Applications – Appropriate for exposed mechanical systems where both extreme pressure and environmental resistance are required.

PACKAGING:

Molykote® 165 LT is available in a variety of packaging formats, including 1 kg cans and larger pails or drums, depending on region and distributor availability.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

• Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from previous lubricants, dust, or debris.

• Application: Apply manually or using suitable dispensing equipment. Avoid mixing with incompatible grease types.

• Relubrication: Follow equipment manufacturer recommendations. Frequency may depend on load, speed, and environmental exposure.

SAFETY AND HANDLING:

While Molykote® 165 LT is considered safe under normal use conditions, standard precautions are advised. Avoid skin and eye contact. Use gloves during application and handle in well-ventilated areas. For complete safety information, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
