Description
About MOLYKOTE® HSC Plus Paste
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® HSC Plus Paste is a specialty anti-seize and assembly paste formulated for lubrication of metal/metal combinations exposed to high temperatures and extreme loads. It contains a synthetic base oil, solid lubricants such as copper and graphite, and an inorganic thickener. HSC Plus Paste is designed to prevent seizing, galling, fretting, and corrosion, ensuring reliable assembly and easier disassembly of threaded connections and sliding surfaces operating under severe conditions.
KEY FEATURES:
High Temperature Resistance
Performs effectively from approximately -30°C to +1100°C on metal surfaces, providing reliable lubrication and protection in extreme environments.
Excellent Load-Carrying Capacity
Provides outstanding wear protection and extreme-pressure (EP) performance under high mechanical loads and static pressures.
Prevents Seizing and Galling
Forms a durable lubricating film that helps prevent stick-slip, seizure, fretting corrosion, and metal-to-metal welding.
Corrosion Protection
Offers excellent protection against corrosion, even in humid, wet, or chemically aggressive environments.
Facilitates Assembly and Disassembly
Enables easier disassembly of bolts, screws, flanges, and press-fits even after long-term service at high temperatures.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Threaded Connections – Lubrication of bolts, screws, studs, and flanges exposed to high temperatures or corrosive environments.
-
Press-Fits and Interference Fits – Applied to components such as bushings, pins, and couplings to ease assembly and disassembly.
-
Sliding Guides and Tracks – Suitable for guide rails, cams, and sliding components subjected to high loads and thermal stresses.
-
Turbines and Heat Exchangers – Lubrication of fasteners and fittings in steam turbines, gas turbines, and heat exchanger assemblies.
-
General Industrial Maintenance – Ideal for anti-seize protection in high-temperature or corrosive process equipment.
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® HSC Plus Paste is typically available 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 to remove dust, oxides, oils, old lubricants, and contaminants to ensure optimal performance.
-
Application: Apply a thin, uniform layer of paste to the target surfaces using a brush, cloth, or suitable applicator. A thin film is sufficient to provide effective anti-seize protection.
-
Maintenance: Reapply as needed based on wear, operating conditions, and maintenance intervals.
SAFETY AND HANDLING:
MOLYKOTE® HSC Plus Paste is considered safe when used as intended. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. Use in a well-ventilated area and follow standard industrial hygiene practices. Refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety, handling, and disposal information.
