Description
About MOLYKOTE® 41 Extreme High Temperature Grease
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® 41 is a specialty silicone-based grease designed for lubrication of metal/metal combinations operating at extremely high temperatures and low to medium speeds. It provides excellent thermal stability and load-carrying capacity, while maintaining lubricity and consistency even under prolonged exposure to high heat. MOLYKOTE® 41 is ideal for industrial and transport applications where conventional lubricants would degrade.
KEY FEATURES:
Extreme High Temperature Resistance
Performs effectively from approximately -40°C to +250°C in continuous operation, with short-term peaks up to +280°C.
Good Load-Carrying Capacity
Provides reliable wear protection and load-carrying performance under high mechanical stress.
Excellent Thermal and Oxidation Stability
Maintains lubricity and resists oxidation even after extended exposure to high temperatures.
Low Volatility
Minimizes evaporation and lubricant loss at elevated temperatures, helping extend lubrication intervals.
Good Water and Corrosion Resistance
Provides protection against moisture ingress and corrosion, enhancing component longevity.
APPLICATIONS:
-
High-Temperature Bearings – Lubrication of rolling and plain bearings exposed to high continuous or intermittent heat.
-
Drying Equipment – Suitable for bearings and moving parts in textile dryers, paper machines, and industrial ovens.
-
Conveyor Systems – Applied to bearings and chains in high-temperature conveyor applications.
-
Automotive and Transport – Used in components such as exhaust systems, brake components, and engine compartment assemblies exposed to heat.
-
General Industrial Maintenance – Ideal for lubrication points where extended service life at elevated temperatures is required.
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® 41 is typically available in small tubes (e.g., 100g), 1kg cans, and larger packaging formats depending on regional availability and application needs.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
-
Surface Preparation: Clean and dry all surfaces to remove dust, old lubricants, and contaminants to ensure optimal lubrication performance.
-
Application: Apply a thin, even layer of grease to the target surfaces using a brush, spatula, or grease gun as appropriate.
-
Maintenance: Reapply as needed based on equipment manufacturer recommendations and specific operating conditions, particularly in high-temperature environments.
SAFETY AND HANDLING:
MOLYKOTE® 41 is considered safe when used as intended. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. Use in a well-ventilated area and follow standard industrial hygiene practices. Refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety, handling, and disposal information.
