Description
About MOLYKOTE® P-37 Paste (500g)
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® P-37 Paste is a high-performance assembly paste designed specifically for the lubrication and protection of threaded fasteners and components exposed to very high temperatures. It provides excellent resistance to seizure, stick-slip, fretting, and corrosion, enabling easier disassembly even after prolonged high-temperature service. P-37 is particularly suitable for use on bolts and fasteners made from stainless steel, titanium, and nickel alloys — commonly used in power plants, turbines, and chemical processing equipment.
KEY FEATURES:
Excellent High-Temperature Resistance
Performs effectively from approximately -30°C to +1400°C on threaded fasteners, making it ideal for components exposed to extreme heat.
Facilitates Easy Disassembly
Prevents seizing and galling of fasteners, allowing for easy and damage-free disassembly even after prolonged service at high temperatures.
Exceptional Corrosion Protection
Provides reliable protection against oxidation and corrosion, particularly in humid, chemically aggressive, or marine environments.
Compatible with High-Strength Alloys
Formulated to be compatible with stainless steel, titanium, and nickel-based alloys often used in high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments.
Prevents Stick-Slip and Fretting
Forms a durable solid lubricating film that helps prevent stick-slip motion and fretting corrosion.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Turbines and Power Plants – Lubrication of threaded fasteners in gas and steam turbines, boiler plants, and heat exchangers.
-
Chemical Processing Equipment – Applied to bolts, screws, and fittings exposed to chemically aggressive environments and high temperatures.
-
Aerospace and Defense – Suitable for use on threaded fasteners in engines, structures, and high-temperature assemblies.
-
Nuclear Industry – Used in fastening applications where high-temperature stability and controlled torque are essential.
-
General High-Temperature Maintenance – Ideal for assembly of threaded fasteners where reliable disassembly is required after high-temperature service.
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® P-37 Paste is typically supplied in 500g cans, with other packaging formats available 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 adhesion and performance.
-
Application: Apply a thin, uniform layer of paste to threads and mating surfaces using a brush or suitable applicator. Do not overapply — a thin film is sufficient.
-
Assembly: Tighten components according to equipment manufacturer specifications and required torque values.
-
Maintenance: Reapply as needed during maintenance operations or after component cleaning.
SAFETY AND HANDLING:
MOLYKOTE® P-37 Paste is considered safe when used under normal conditions. 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.
