About MOLYKOTE® DX Paste
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® DX Paste is a light-colored, multi-purpose assembly and running-in paste designed for metal/metal combinations subjected to medium loads and slow to medium-speed movements. It provides excellent wear protection, prevents stick-slip and fretting, and ensures smooth operation of mechanical components. MOLYKOTE® DX Paste is ideal for precision assemblies where clean appearance and reliable lubrication are essential, making it suitable for automotive, industrial, and office equipment applications.
KEY FEATURES:
Excellent Wear Protection
Forms a durable lubricating film that reduces friction and wear, extending component life.
Prevents Stick-Slip and Fretting
Provides smooth, consistent movement and prevents vibration-induced wear or corrosion.
Good Load-Carrying Capacity
Delivers reliable performance under medium mechanical loads.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively from approximately -25°C to +125°C, ensuring stable operation in a variety of conditions.
Light-Colored Appearance
Leaves a clean, non-staining film, ideal for applications where aesthetics or cleanliness is important.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Precision Assemblies – Lubrication of small gears, cams, and sliding mechanisms in office equipment and consumer electronics.
-
Automotive Components – Applied to control cables, linkage mechanisms, seat tracks, and adjustment screws.
-
Assembly of Metal Components – Used for press-fits, threaded connections, and precision sliding components.
-
General Industrial Maintenance – Suitable for lubrication of small, lightly loaded sliding surfaces in machinery and equipment.
-
Plastic/Metal Combinations – Offers good compatibility with many plastics and elastomers (testing recommended).
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® DX Paste is typically supplied in small tubes (e.g., 100g), 1kg cans, and other packaging formats depending on regional availability and application needs.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
