MOLYKOTE

Hydraulic Oils

Molykote hydraulic oils minimize formation of emulsions in contact with water due to the purity of the base fluid. They will generally perform successfully in hydraulic systems far longer than conventional hydraulic oils. Plants can gain significant savings from reduced oil consumption, reduced disposal cost, labor savings and fewer interruptions to production. These non-toxic oils are derived from hydrocracked or synthetic base stocks and can be used in systems designed for low pour point or high flash point mineral oils.

Compressor and Vacuum Pump Oils

Molykote compressor and pump fluids are formulated to meet or exceed the performance of comparable OEM fill products. With the exception of L-3232 and L-3246, these fluids are all compatible with mineral oils and systems designed for mineral oil lubrication. Dow Corning can perform oil analysis to ensure that the right product is used for each application and that product life is maximized.

Special Purpose Oils

Molykote special purpose oils have been designed for unique purposes or applications within industrial processes. Depending on the application, your Dow Corning representative can help select the right oil for your special requirements. Molykote Process Gas Oils have been specially formulated for use in chemical process gas streams consisting of harsh corrosive gasses such as HCl, HBr or methyl chloride. These oils will not form sludge or gel in the presence of many harsh gas streams that would destroy conventional vacuum pump or compressor lubricants. A special corrosion inhibitor inhibits acidic corrosion.

Multi-purpose Oils

Molykote multi-purpose oils provide protection and lubrication for a wide range of moving components in industrial systems. Depending on the application, your Dow Corning representative can help select the right oil from a range of viscosities, additive packages and pour points.

Gearbox and Chain Oils

Molykote gearbox and chain lubricants help prevent wear and process interruptions in power transmission systems and components. Compared to conventional oils they also offer greater resistance to oxidation and stable performance at high temperatures and under high loads. gearbox oils maximize fill intervals and maintain viscosity characteristics at wide temperature ranges. gearbox oils meet AGMA 9005-E02. In addition to AGMA, L-21XX series gearbox oils also meet DIN 51 517 Part 3, US Steel 224, Flender, Cincinnati Machine, David Brown SL.53.101.
