Description
About MOLYKOTE® D Paste
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® D Paste is a solid lubricant paste designed for assembly and running-in lubrication of metal/metal combinations under high load and slow movement conditions. It provides excellent wear protection, reduces friction, and prevents stick-slip and galling. D Paste is particularly suitable for components subjected to high pressures, shock loads, and oscillating movements, and helps ensure reliable performance during the initial running-in phase.
KEY FEATURES:
High Load-Carrying Capacity
Provides effective lubrication and wear protection under extreme mechanical loads and shock conditions.
Reduces Friction and Wear
Forms a solid lubricating film that reduces friction and helps prevent surface damage during assembly and operation.
Prevents Stick-Slip and Galling
Supports smooth operation of metal components by preventing stick-slip motion and galling under high pressure.
Facilitates Disassembly
Helps ensure easier disassembly of threaded connections and press-fits, even after prolonged use.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively from approximately -25°C to +250°C, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial applications.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Assembly of Metal Components – Used for press-fits, bushings, pins, and spline shafts to facilitate assembly and prevent seizure.
-
Threaded Connections – Applied to bolts, screws, flanges, and fasteners to ease assembly and future disassembly.
-
Sliding Guides and Tracks – Lubricates guide rails, cams, and sliding surfaces subjected to high loads and low speeds.
-
Heavy-Duty Industrial Equipment – Suitable for slow-moving mechanisms operating under high static or dynamic loads.
-
Maintenance Applications – Ideal for general industrial maintenance where durable, solid film lubrication is required.
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® D Paste is typically available in small tubes (e.g., 100g), 1kg cans, and larger packaging formats depending on regional availability and application requirements.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
-
Surface Preparation: Clean surfaces thoroughly to remove dust, oils, old lubricants, and contaminants. Dry surfaces for optimal adhesion.
-
Application: Apply a thin, even layer of paste to the target area using a brush, cloth, or suitable applicator. Do not overapply; a thin film provides optimal performance.
-
Maintenance: Reapply as needed according to equipment manufacturer recommendations and specific operating conditions.
SAFETY AND HANDLING:
MOLYKOTE® D Paste 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 complete safety, handling, and disposal information.
