MOLYKOTE 112 High Performance Lube/Sealant
Reliable Lubrication and Sealing in Demanding Environments
When conventional greases struggle with heat, water exposure or chemical contact, MOLYKOTE® 112 High Performance Lube/Sealant provides a more stable silicone-based alternative.
The grease-like compound combines selected silicone fluids with an inert silica thickener. Its stiff consistency helps the lubricant remain in position, making it suitable for components where both lubrication and sealing are required.
Key Product Advantages
- NLGI Grade 3 consistency for high mechanical stability
- Wide service temperature range: approximately -40°C to 232°C
- Non-melting silicone formulation
- Low volatility for long-term applications
- Strong resistance to water and oil
- Good resistance to many chemicals, dilute acids and alkalis
- Good compatibility with many plastic and rubber components
- High adhesion helps maintain lubricant coverage
- Suitable for applications requiring both lubrication and sealing
Typical Applications
MOLYKOTE® 112 can be considered for a variety of industrial components, including:
Valve Lubrication & Sealing
Suitable for valve stems, seats, plug valves, control valves and other valve components where stable lubrication and sealing are important.
O-Rings & Rubber Seals
The silicone-based formulation can be used for selected rubber and plastic sealing components where compatibility and moisture resistance are required.
Vacuum & Pressure Systems
Its low-volatility characteristics and sealing capability make it useful for selected vacuum and pressure sealing applications.
Chemical Processing Equipment
Good resistance to many chemical environments makes it suitable for certain valves, seals and components used around aggressive process media.
Industrial & Electrical Components
The material can also be considered for selected damping, sealing and lubrication applications where thermal stability and electrical insulation are important.
Why Choose MOLYKOTE® 112?
For maintenance teams and equipment manufacturers, the main value of MOLYKOTE® 112 is not simply lubrication. It combines lubricating, sealing and protective functions in one silicone-based compound.
Its high consistency helps it stay where applied, while its resistance to water, oils and many chemical substances makes it useful in equipment exposed to demanding operating conditions. Compared with lower-stability silicone compounds, MOLYKOTE® 112 is particularly attractive when mechanical stability is an important requirement.
