Product description
MOLYKOTE 44 Medium High Temperature Grease 5 kg is a high-temperature silicone grease for bearings and mechanisms operating across a wide temperature range. The “Medium” grade (NLGI 2) provides stable consistency, low start-up torque and resistance to oxidation and water washout in demanding industrial applications.
Benefits and unique features
- Wide service range: −40 °C to +204 °C – reliable lubrication at cold starts and elevated temperatures
- Low volatility and good oxidation resistance – extended service intervals
- Resistant to water washout – stable lubricating film
- NLGI 2 (Medium) – suitable consistency for typical ball bearings under light to moderate loads
- Compatible with many plastics and rubber – can lubricate plastic gears, bearings and cams
Properties and applications
- High-temperature bearings: kiln/furnace fans, blowers, radiator cooling fans, conveyor drives.
- Process equipment: textile driers and heaters, conveyors in hot zones.
- Precision mechanisms: lightly/moderately loaded gears and bearings, instrument drives.
- Application notes: not recommended for highly loaded ferrous sliding combinations; avoid applying to surfaces to be painted.

FAQ
1) What is the service temperature?
Typically −40 °C to +204 °C.
2) Medium vs Light?
Medium = NLGI 2 for a more stable consistency; Light = NLGI 1 for lower start-up resistance.
3) Compatible with plastics/rubber?
Yes – generally does not soften most plastics; suitable for plastic gears, bearings and cams.
4) ADR / classification?
It is not classified as hazardous and is not subject to ADR/IMDG/IATA.
5) Any limitations?
Not recommended for highly loaded ferrous sliding combinations; do not apply to surfaces to be painted.
