Description
About MOLYKOTE® 44 Medium High-Temperature Bearing Grease
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® 44 Medium is a high-performance, silicone-based lubricating grease designed for use in rolling and plain bearings, metal/plastic, and metal/metal combinations operating under high temperatures and varying speeds. It provides excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and low volatility, making it suitable for precision equipment, automotive applications, and industrial machinery exposed to elevated temperatures.
KEY FEATURES:
High-Temperature Resistance
Performs effectively from approximately -40°C to +200°C, with short-term peak capability up to +230°C.
Good Load-Carrying Capacity
Provides reliable wear protection and load-carrying performance for bearings and sliding parts.
Low Volatility
Minimizes evaporation at high temperatures, helping extend lubrication intervals and equipment life.
Excellent Thermal and Oxidation Stability
Resists oxidation and thermal degradation, maintaining consistent lubricity and performance under prolonged high-temperature exposure.
Wide Material Compatibility
Compatible with many plastics, elastomers, and metals (testing recommended), making it suitable for mixed material assemblies.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Bearings in Electric Motors and Fans – Lubrication of high-speed and high-temperature bearings in motors, blowers, and fans.
-
Automotive Components – Used in automotive climate control systems, actuators, and bearings exposed to heat and vibration.
-
Industrial Ovens and Conveyors – Lubrication of bearings and sliding parts operating in high-temperature industrial environments.
-
Precision Instruments – Suitable for lubricating small mechanical assemblies requiring long-term, thermally stable lubrication.
-
Office and Consumer Equipment – Applied in printers, copiers, and small appliances where stable lubrication is required across temperature variations.
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® 44 Medium is typically supplied in 100g tubes, 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, oxides, oils, old lubricants, and contaminants to ensure optimal lubrication performance.
-
Application: Apply a thin, uniform layer of grease to the target surfaces using a brush, spatula, or automated dispensing equipment.
-
Maintenance: Reapply as needed based on equipment manufacturer recommendations and specific operating conditions.
