MOLYKOTE® automotive specialty lubricants are engineered to solve the small but critical friction problems inside modern vehicles – from seat tracks and window regulators to starter motor gears, control cables, switches, seals, and constant-velocity joints. These applications share the same challenge: components must run quietly and consistently over the life of the vehicle, often under wide temperature swings, vibration, and exposure to moisture, dust, and chemicals. DuPont’s MOLYKOTE® brand has been used for decades to reduce friction, wear, noise, and corrosion in powertrain, chassis, electrical, interior, and exterior systems for global OEMs and Tier suppliers.  

This product line combines synthetic and silicone-based greases, dielectric greases, and specialty lubricants that are compatible with common automotive plastics, elastomers, and metals, making them ideal for plastic-on-metal and plastic-on-plastic interfaces in body and interior components. MOLYKOTE® automotive lubricants are available in multiple NLGI grades and chemistries, including polyalphaolefin (PAO), mineral, and silicone technologies with lithium or other thickener systems and tailored additive packages. These formulations are matched to specific design needs such as very low startup torque at cold temperatures, resistance to water washout, long-term noise control, or protection in high-load, high-vibration joints.  

For engineers, MOLYKOTE® automotive grades help meet NVH, durability, and lifetime lubrication targets without sacrificing feel or packaging flexibility. For MRO and production teams, ChemPoint provides these lubricants in cartridges, pails, and drums to support both line fill and ongoing maintenance programs, consolidating sourcing for automotive greases and related specialty lubricants. Whether you are specifying grease for new actuator designs or looking for a reliable replacement for legacy lubricants, MOLYKOTE® automotive products provide tested solutions across vehicle powertrain, body, electrical, and interior systems.
