x Inertness All three Molykote® Bearing Grease are used to lubricate ball bearings operating
x Good shear stability under light to moderate loads. These can be used for:
x Wide service temperature range: Molykote® 33 Extreme Low Temperature Bearing Grease
33 Extreme Low Temperature • Freezer cart casters and cold room conveyor equipment
Grease: -100 to 400°F (-73 to 204°C) • Utility disconnect switch contacts
41 Extreme High Temperature • Plastic electric clock motors
Grease: 0 to 550°F (-18 to 288°C) • Maximum-demand meters, power-factor meters, watt-hour meters
44 High Temperature Grease: -40 to • Windshield wiper motor gears
400°F (-40 to 204°C) • Photographic, optical and surveying equipment
x Compatible with many plastics • Oscillographs, geophysical and light, low-torque instruments
• Starter clutch drives
COMPOSITION
Molykote® 41 Extreme High Temperature Bearing Grease
x Lithium soap • Antifriction bearings of high-temperature equipment
x Phenylmethyl silicone oil • Oven conveyor bearings
• Wheel bearings of core oven carts
• Governor linkage of steam turbines
• Ball and socket connections of power insulators
Molykote® 44 High Temperature Bearing Grease
• Kiln preheater fans, oven fans, radiator cooling fans
• Textile slashers and driers
• Aircraft engine
• Conveyor systems
These greases do not soften or affect most plastics and are used to lubricate
plastic gears, bearings and cams, as well as metal and rubber parts. Because of
low torque requirements, Molykote® 33 Extreme Low Temperature Bearing
Grease is especially effective in equipment that must start in extreme cold.
Oxidation Resistance – Molykote® Bearing Greases are recommended for use in
units that must remain operable when subjected not only to low and high
operating temperatures, but also to severe weathering and oxidation.
