Description
About MOLYKOTE® P-74 Paste
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® P-74 Paste is a high-performance solid lubricant paste designed for assembly and running-in lubrication of metal/metal combinations under extreme loads. It provides excellent wear protection, prevents stick-slip and galling, and enables easier disassembly even after prolonged use. P-74 Paste is particularly suitable for sliding surfaces subjected to high pressures, slow speeds, and oscillating movements.
KEY FEATURES:
High Load-Carrying Capacity
Provides reliable lubrication and wear protection under extreme mechanical loads and shock conditions.
Prevents Stick-Slip and Galling
Forms a protective lubricating film that helps prevent stick-slip motion, seizure, and surface damage.
Excellent Wear Protection
Reduces friction and wear during assembly and initial running-in phase, extending component life.
Facilitates Disassembly
Maintains a protective film over time, enabling easier disassembly of threaded connections and press-fits even after prolonged operation.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively from approximately -25°C to +250°C, supporting lubrication across diverse thermal environments.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Assembly of Metal Components – Suitable for press-fits, pins, bushings, and spline shafts.
-
Threaded Connections – Applied to bolts, screws, and flanges to prevent seizure and ease disassembly.
-
Sliding Guides and Tracks – Lubricates guide rails, cams, and other sliding elements exposed to high loads and slow speeds.
-
Machine Tool Components – Used during assembly and maintenance of precision equipment where controlled friction is required.
-
General Industrial Maintenance – Ideal for lubrication of metal parts subject to static loads, oscillating movement, or infrequent motion.
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® P-74 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 surfaces thoroughly to remove dirt, oils, and old lubricants. Dry the surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion of the paste.
-
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 is sufficient.
-
Maintenance: Reapply as needed based on operating conditions and maintenance intervals.
SAFETY AND HANDLING:
MOLYKOTE® P-74 Paste is considered safe when used as intended. 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.
