About Lubricants

About Grease

Use this general purpose grease to lubricate most machinery.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.

Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is usually more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease.

Grease with lithium thickener offers good heat and moisture resistance. Grease with PTFE has small particles of PTFE that reduce friction and help the grease maintain its lubricity.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

Electrical resistivity is a measure of how well a material opposes the flow of electricity. The lower the rating, the more electricity it conducts.

Thermal conductivity measures a material’s ability to transfer heat. The higher the rating, the more heat it transfers.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

Solid and Paste Milling, Drilling, and Turning Coolants

An alternative to nearly dry machining, apply these coolants to tools before milling and machining to reduce heat with minimal cleanup. They’re often used with shallow drilling, reaming, and tapping, as well as on saw blades. Remove from tools and work surfaces with alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone, or a parts washer. They are chlorine free, for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern, and sulfur free. Use at full strength.

Coolant in a jar is a paste. It can also be used as a bending and forming paste.

Assembly Lubricants

Coat tight-fitting metal parts, such as gears, clutches, and press-fit assemblies, with these lubricants before sliding them together to make assembly easier. Once assembled, they provide initial lubrication in equipment before oil has a chance to flow.

Mineral-oil-based lubricants, derived from petroleum, are more economical than synthetic-oil-based lubricants. Synthetic-oil-based lubricants last longer than mineral-oil-based lubricants.

Lubricants with moly (molybdenum disulfide) withstand high-pressure applications and have excellent wear resistance. Lubricants with graphite have additional pressure resistance and excellent temperature resistance. All Dupont Molykote lubricants have a high load-carrying capacity. Molykote M-77 Paste is commonly used on brakes and clutches; it is compatible with material that is damaged by mineral oil, such as natural rubber, SBR, and EPDM. As a paste it lubricates to 445° F; after drying, it continues to lubricate at temperatures up to 660° F. Molykote G-Rapid Plus Paste is often used to assemble threaded spindles, gears, screws, and pumps. It can be used as an initial lubricant.

Powder and Flake Lubricants

Made of graphite, these powders and flakes lubricate under heavy loads and high temperatures. They resist most chemicals and conduct heat and electricity.

Flake lubricants conduct heat and electricity better than powder. Use them dry or mix with oil and grease to increase their load-carrying capacity or improve their ability to conduct heat and electricity.
