Molykote Microsize 1kg lubricant in powder form, highly refined, purified, for metal/metal, metal/plastic connections, effective lubrication of metal surfaces under extreme loads
Description
Molykote Microsize
Molykote Microsize is a solid grease in powder form, which is characterized by excellent lubricating properties and reduction of friction and wear. This product is resistant to oxidation and has a very high resistance to extreme pressures. With its wide operating temperature range, Molykote Microsize is ideal for harsh environments such as high temperatures and loads.
Applications
- Used as a dry film lubricant on metal surfaces
- Lubricant additive for self-lubricating plastics and sintered metal parts
- Lubricant additive in metalworking compounds
