6. Molykote G-0103 Application Areas
Slip Seal Mechanisms in sponge iron industry
Key Characteristics of Desired Lubrication
1.High quality base oil with high viscosity.
2.Good Pumpability through centralized lubrication systems.
3.High drop point to address high temperature requirements.
4.High load carrying capacity to resist extreme pressures,
minimize friction and minimize wear.
5.Good film forming capacity to provide a sealing effect in the
seal segments.
6.Environmental friendly, should not emit toxic fumes into the
atmosphere.

7. Molykote G-0103 Application Areas
Slip Seal Mechanisms in sponge iron industry
Molykote® G-0103 Grease designed for Slip Seal Lubrication
1. Base oil viscosity VG 460 with calcium sulphonate thickener and high
performance additives provides a sealing effect with very good film forming
capacity and shear/mechanical stability.
2. Pumpable through centralized lubrication systems. No chocking of system
mechanisms.
3. Service temperature of +180 degree C and drop point of 280 deg C minimum
makes it ideal for high temperatures encountered in slip seals and extend
relubrication interval.
4. Excellent load handling capacity (4 Ball Weld Load ASTM D2596 400 kg min)
and very good extreme pressure resistance to minimize friction and wear.
5. Environmentally friendly calcium sulphonate thickeners allows reliable
operation at high temperatures and avoid fumes emission.

Trends in Electrical
Motor Lubrication
1. Polyurea greases as it is
2. non-conductive
3. Moly/ Graphite greases
induce currents to travel
through bearing causing
pitting, spalling or
producing hot spots which
burn the grease or induce
high pitch squealing noise.
4. Low vibration low noise
greases
