MOLYKOTE® lubricants are engineered to withstand the harshest outdoor environments without loss of performance or protection. These specialty lubricants can withstand long-term exposure to sunlight, salt spray, abrasive sand and other airborne contaminants while providing the necessary lubrication performance.
Within the oil & gas industry, there are thousands of different processes requiring various levels of extreme cold or hot operating environments. The MOLYKOTE® family of performance lubricants provide a suite of solutions with robust thermal stability. The table of solutions below includes useful operating temperature ranges for reference.
MOLYKOTE® Specialty Lubricants are an ideal solution for the refinery industry due to their chemical stability and reliability when exposed to fuels, solvents, and other harmful & corrosive chemistries integral to the refinery processes.
MOLYKOTE® is well known for the powerful solutions against friction, wear, corrosion, galling fretting & more. These performance lubricants can help optimize the production environment by providing:
