Molykote® 111 Compound is a heavy-consistency, silicone‑oil-based NLGI Grade 3–4 lubricant and sealant ideal for valves, O‑rings, and gaskets in demanding temperature and water‑contact applications.
Molykote® 111 Compound is a heavy-consistency silicone compound formulated to deliver long-term sealing and lubrication under extreme pressure and temperature fluctuations. It is highly effective in preventing water ingress and resisting degradation in both hot and cold water, as well as many chemical environments. Its compatibility with a variety of elastomers and plastics makes it a go-to solution in industrial, municipal, and food-grade processing systems.
