Product Information Specialty Lubricants FEATURES & BENEFITS Can be used over a wide range of temperature (-30°C/-22°F to +650°C/1202°F) High load-carrying capacity Enables non-destructive dismantling, even after long use at high temperatures Coefficient of friction unchanged in the area of oiled bolts, even after several bolt re-tightening and loosening processes Good corrosion protection Solid lubricants Mineral oil Thickener Powdered metal 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.

DESCRIPTION Molykote® 1000 Solid Lubricant Paste is a lead and nickel free anti-seize paste used to reduce wear and optimize friction of threaded fasteners, or other metal-to-metal joints, enabling non-destructive dismantling, even after long exposure to high temperatures. It offers good corrosion protection, under high loads, over a wide temperature range. HOW TO USE How to Apply If possible, clean the thread and the bolt with a wire brush. Spread an adequate amount of the paste on the thread, right up to its root in order to obtain a good seal. In order not to alter the properties, the...
