polyalphaolefin/mineral oil
(PAO/MO) based lubricants.
DESCRIPTION
Molykote®
 Gearbox and Chain Oils
help prevent wear and process
interruptions in power transmission
systems and components. Compared to
conventional oils, they also offer
greater resistance to oxidation and
stable performance at high
temperatures and under high loads.
Molykote Gearbox and Oils maximize
fill intervals and maintain viscosity
characteristics at wide temperature
ranges.
HOW TO USE
Follow equipment manufacturer’s
recommendations for maintenance
procedures and oil specifications.
To ensure the longest possible life
span for lubricating fluids, sample
analysis is recommended. When
utilized on a regular basis, sample
analysis can track normal aging and
depletion of antioxidants in lubricating
fluids. Moreover, sample analysis can
identify abnormal contamination that
may be limiting lubricant life. Contact
Dow Corning customer service for
additional information.
LISTING AND
SPECIFICATIONS
Molykote lubricating fluids are kosher
approved and conform to USDA
listing requirements under H-1 or H-2
designations (see Typical Properties
table). An H-1 designation indicates
the lubricated part can have incidental
food contact not to exceed 1 0 ppm.
An H-2 designation indicates the
lubricated part cannot have contact
with food.
