MOLYKOTE 33 Medium Silicone Bearing Grease 1 kg Extreme Low Temperature, Oxidation-Resistant Grease for Precision Instruments

About MOLYKOTE® 33 Medium Silicone Bearing Grease

OVERVIEW:

MOLYKOTE® 33 Medium is a high-quality silicone-based grease formulated for the lubrication of plastic and metal components operating under a wide range of temperatures, including very low temperatures. It offers excellent low-temperature flow, good load-carrying capacity, and compatibility with many plastics and elastomers. MOLYKOTE® 33 Medium is widely used in precision bearings, electrical components, and other mechanisms requiring long-term lubrication and smooth operation in demanding environments.

KEY FEATURES:

Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively from approximately -73°C to +180°C, supporting reliable operation in extreme low-temperature and high-temperature environments.

Low Temperature Flow
Maintains excellent flow and lubricity at very low temperatures, helping ensure smooth starting and running torque.

Good Load-Carrying Capability
Provides reliable wear protection and load-carrying performance for bearings and sliding surfaces.

Compatibility with Plastics and Elastomers
Compatible with a wide range of plastic materials and elastomers, minimizing risk of material degradation.

Low Volatility and Long-Term Stability
Resists oxidation and evaporation, supporting long service life and consistent performance.

APPLICATIONS:

• Precision Bearings – Lubrication of small- to medium-sized rolling and plain bearings operating in low-temperature environments.

• Electrical and Electronic Equipment – Used in switches, potentiometers, and sliding contacts requiring smooth, stable lubrication.

• Aerospace Components – Suitable for aircraft instruments, actuators, and mechanisms exposed to very low temperatures.

• Automotive Interior Components – Applied to mechanisms such as HVAC actuators and control levers requiring quiet, smooth operation.

• Consumer Electronics – Lubrication of gears, cams, and plastic/metal sliding components in cameras, printers, and other precision devices.

PACKAGING:

MOLYKOTE® 33 Medium is typically available in small tubes (e.g., 100g), 1kg jars, and larger packaging formats such as pails or drums, depending on regional availability and application needs.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

• Surface Preparation: Clean application surfaces to remove dust, old lubricants, and contaminants to ensure optimal performance.

• Application: Apply a thin, even layer of grease to the target area using an appropriate applicator such as a brush or spatula.

• Maintenance: Reapply as needed based on equipment manufacturer recommendations and specific operating conditions.

SAFETY AND HANDLING:

MOLYKOTE® 33 Medium is considered safe under normal use conditions. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. Use in well-ventilated areas and follow standard industrial hygiene practices. Refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety, handling, and disposal guidelines.
