MOLYKOTE P-40 Paste V1 Metal-Free Adhesive Lubricating Paste
MOLYKOTE P-40 Paste V1 Metal-Free Lubricating Paste
Product Overview
MOLYKOTE P-40 Paste V1 is a metal-free adhesive lubricating paste based on semi-synthetic polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil and white solid lubricants. It is designed for assembly, fastening and continuous lubrication applications where reliable adhesion and resistance to water wash-out are important.
Its high-tack consistency helps the lubricant remain on treated surfaces, making it suitable for components exposed to humidity, moisture and splash water. This metal-free lubricating paste can be considered for threaded connections, spline shafts, bearing mountings, brake components and selected industrial or marine machinery.
With a stated operating temperature range of -40°C to +121°C for the complete paste, MOLYKOTE P-40 Paste V1 is intended for applications requiring dependable lubrication under challenging environmental conditions.
