MOLYKOTE EM-50L
Harmonization Code : 3403.19 | Lubricating Preparations (With 70% or More Petroleum Oils) For Automotive and Other Uses
Main features
- Broad Plastic Compatibility
- 100% Silicone-Free PAO Grease
- Low-Seepage Long-Service Lubrication
Product Description
MOLYKOTE® EM-50L Grease is an NLGI 1 lubricating grease specially developed for plastic components and precision equipment. Formulated with a polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base oil and a lithium soap thickener, this translucent white grease is highly effective at acting as a damper grease to reduce noise in moving parts, such as plastic gears. Furthermore, its completely silicone-free composition ensures it will not cause contact point failures in sensitive electrical applications.
Key features
- Plastic compatibility and noise reduction: Highly compatible with most plastics and specifically formulated to dampen and reduce noise generated by plastic gears.
- Silicone-free formulation: Does not contain silicone, preventing the widespread issue of contact point failures in nearby electrical components.
- Clean, long-life lubrication: Designed for long service life with low seepage, making it ideal for applications where cleanliness is strictly required.
Applications / Suitable for
- Automobiles and electrical appliances containing plastic parts
- Precision equipment, audio equipment, and office equipment
- Use as a damper grease to reduce noise in moving components
