- Silicone Base Oil
Product Description
MOLYKOTE® PG-54 Plastislip Grease is a white, silicone-oil-based grease developed for long-term lubrication of metal-to-plastic, plastic-to-plastic, and reinforced-rubber contact combinations. The NLGI Grade 2–3 formulation uses a lithium-complex thickener and PTFE solid lubricant to support low-friction movement, corrosion protection, and operation from −50°C to 180°C. It is suitable for bushings, gears, chains, sealing rings, sliding tracks, switches, and flexible control cables used in automotive systems, electric motors, gearboxes, and household or garden equipment.
Key features
- Plastic and rubber compatibility: Intended for long-term lubrication of plastic, reinforced-rubber, and mixed metal-to-plastic contacts.
- Wide operating-temperature range: Supports service from −50°C to 180°C.
- Low-friction operation: Formulated for moving rubber and plastic components requiring controlled sliding behavior.
- Corrosion protection: Provides supplier-documented corrosion protection for lubricated components.
- Silicone-based formulation: Uses silicone base oil with a lithium-complex thickener.
- Long-term lubrication: Suitable for extended lubrication of supported material combinations under appropriate service conditions.
Applications / Suitable for
- Plastic and reinforced-rubber bearing bushings
- Plastic gears and chains
- Sealing rings, switches, sliding tracks, and guides
- Flexible control cables and Bowden cable systems
- Electric motors and gearboxes
- Automotive brake and clutch systems
