Description
About MOLYKOTE® TP-42 Paste (1kg)
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® TP-42 is a high-performance assembly and anti-seize paste designed for lubrication of metal/metal combinations under extreme loads and slow to medium-speed sliding movements. It provides excellent protection against wear, stick-slip, fretting, and corrosion. TP-42 forms a durable lubricating film that ensures easier assembly and disassembly, while supporting long-term component protection even under high pressure and vibration conditions.
KEY FEATURES:
High Load-Carrying Capacity
Provides excellent wear protection and extreme-pressure (EP) performance for components exposed to high mechanical loads and shock impacts.
Prevents Stick-Slip and Fretting
Forms a protective film that helps prevent stick-slip motion, fretting corrosion, and seizure during operation.
Good Corrosion Protection
Offers reliable protection against corrosion, extending component life even in humid or aggressive environments.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively from approximately -40°C to +200°C in continuous operation.
Facilitates Assembly and Disassembly
Helps ensure easier disassembly of threaded connections and press-fits even after prolonged use or exposure to harsh conditions.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Assembly of Metal Components – Lubrication of press-fits, pins, bushings, splines, and couplings to prevent seizure and wear.
-
Threaded Connections – Applied to bolts, screws, flanges, and fasteners to ease assembly and future disassembly.
-
Sliding Guides and Tracks – Suitable for guide rails, cams, and tracks subjected to high loads and vibration.
-
Construction and Mining Equipment – Lubrication of components exposed to high loads, vibration, and tough environmental conditions.
-
General Industrial Maintenance – Ideal for anti-seize and wear protection in various maintenance applications.
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® TP-42 Paste is typically supplied in 1kg cans and other packaging formats depending on regional availability and application requirements.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
-
Surface Preparation: Clean and dry all surfaces to remove dust, oils, old lubricants, and contaminants to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.
-
Application: Apply a thin, even layer of paste to the target surfaces using a brush, cloth, or suitable applicator. Avoid over-application; a thin film is sufficient.
-
Maintenance: Reapply as needed based on wear, operating conditions, and maintenance intervals.
SAFETY AND HANDLING:
MOLYKOTE® TP-42 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.
