Molykote® 1000 Solid Lubricant
Paste
Solid lubricant paste for bolted metal joints; contains no lead or
nickel
APPLICATIONS

Suitable for bolted joints that are subjected to high temperatures up to 650°C
(1202°F) and to corrosive effects, and which, after assembling and the initial
operation, have to be re-tightened or disconnected. In order to ensure constant
pre-stressing forces, uniform and steady coefficients of friction of the lubricant
are necessary.
Used successfully for cylinder head bolts, nozzle head screws of plastic
injection molding machines, bolted joints in the chemical industry, and also
for the tension rings of centrifuges.
