MOLYKOTE 7 Silicone Release Compound 150 g Tube – Translucent White, Mold & Cable-Pull Lubricant

About MOLYKOTE® 7 Release Compound (150g)

OVERVIEW:

MOLYKOTE® 7 Release Compound is a silicone-based paste designed primarily as a mold release agent and dielectric compound. It offers excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and outstanding resistance to moisture, making it suitable for electrical insulation, plastic and rubber molding, and general industrial use. This product is ideal for applications requiring clean separation and long-lasting lubrication under moderate pressure and high temperature.

KEY FEATURES:

Excellent Release Properties
Prevents adhesion of materials to molds, dies, gaskets, and other surfaces during forming or curing processes.

Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively from approximately -40°C to +204°C, ensuring reliable performance in hot and cold environments.

Good Dielectric Strength
Acts as an insulating compound for high-voltage connections, supporting electrical system reliability.

Water Repellent and Moisture Resistant
Provides a barrier against moisture and corrosion, particularly in humid environments or outdoor settings.

Low Volatility and Chemical Stability
Minimizes evaporation and remains stable over time under thermal stress.

APPLICATIONS:

• Mold Release – For plastic, rubber, and metal parts in injection molding, compression molding, and extrusion processes.

• Electrical Insulation – Lubrication and protection of electrical terminals, connectors, and fittings.

• Gasket and Seal Lubrication – Prevents sticking and degradation of rubber or elastomeric seals and gaskets.

• Assembly Aid – Facilitates installation of O-rings, grommets, and plastic fittings without damaging surfaces.

• Consumer Appliances and Electronics – Used in components requiring both lubrication and electrical insulation.

PACKAGING:

MOLYKOTE® 7 Release Compound is typically supplied in 150g tubes, with other packaging formats such as 1kg cans available depending on regional availability and application requirements.
