MOLYKOTE 55 O‑Ring Silicone Grease 150 g Tube White Lubricant for Seals & Elastomers

About MOLYKOTE® 55 O-Ring Grease

OVERVIEW:

MOLYKOTE® 55 O-Ring Grease is a silicone-based lubricating grease specifically designed for the lubrication and sealing of O-rings and other rubber components. It helps reduce wear, extends seal life, and provides excellent resistance to oxidation and moisture. The grease also prevents sticking and allows smooth assembly and disassembly of elastomeric parts, making it ideal for both static and dynamic sealing applications.

KEY FEATURES:

Compatible with a Wide Range of Elastomers
Formulated to be compatible with most commonly used rubber materials, such as NBR, EPDM, and silicone rubber, minimizing risk of material degradation.

Sealing and Lubricating Properties
Provides both sealing and lubricating action, reducing wear and sticking of O-rings and seals.

Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively from approximately -65°C to +175°C, ensuring stable performance across extreme temperature variations.

Good Oxidation and Thermal Stability
Offers excellent resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation, contributing to long-term stability and reduced maintenance.

Water and Moisture Resistance
Provides a water-repellent barrier, protecting seals and O-rings in humid or wet environments.

APPLICATIONS:

• O-Rings and Seals – Lubrication and sealing of static and dynamic O-rings in valves, pumps, and actuators.

• Automotive Systems – Used in brake systems, fuel systems, and pneumatic circuits where rubber seals must be lubricated and protected.

• Aerospace Applications – Suitable for lubrication and sealing of elastomeric components exposed to extreme temperatures and varying pressures.

• General Industrial Equipment – Applied to seals, gaskets, and other rubber components to prevent sticking and improve assembly.

• Maintenance and Repair – Facilitates installation and ensures long-term performance of O-rings in various maintenance applications.

PACKAGING:

MOLYKOTE® 55 O-Ring Grease is typically supplied 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 and elastomeric components to remove dust, oils, and contaminants to ensure optimal lubrication and sealing performance.

• Application: Apply a thin, uniform layer of grease to O-rings and mating surfaces using a brush, cloth, or suitable applicator.

• Maintenance: Reapply as needed based on operating conditions, equipment maintenance schedules, and manufacturer recommendations.
