MOLYKOTE 7348 1 kg, high-temperature silicone bearing grease, NLGI 2, −20 °C to +230 °C
Description
MOLYKOTE 7348 Silicone Grease 1 kg is a high-temperature NLGI 2 silicone grease for rolling-element bearings and applications exposed to elevated heat. It provides long-term lubrication, oxidation and water resistance, and low volatility in demanding process conditions.
Benefits and unique features
- Long-term lubrication at high temperatures (up to +230 °C, short-term up to +250 °C)
- Low evaporation and high oxidation resistance – stable bearing operation
- High drop point (>290 °C) and good water resistance
- NLGI 2 – versatile consistency for ball and roller bearings
- Suitable for centralized lubrication systems
Properties and applications
- High-temperature bearings: driers, sterilizers, furnace fans, drives in hot zones.
- Transport and finishing lines: conveyor chains in wood-coating plants.
- Humid environments: good resistance to water and condensate – stable lubricating film.
- Safety note: avoid strong oxidizers; above ~150 °C in air, trace formaldehyde vapors may form – ensure adequate ventilation.
