Food Industry Assembly Lubricants
For use in food-processing and preparation areas, these lubricants are rated for incidental food contact. Coat tight-fitting parts with them before sliding together to make assembly easier.
Mineral-oil-based lubricants have a high load-carrying capacity and can lubricate sliding loads at low-to-medium speeds. Synthetic-oil-based lubricants have excellent moisture resistance.

Assembly Lubricants for Rubber and Plastic
For hoses and other tight-fitting parts, apply these lubricants to rubber or plastic before assembling and disassembling. After drying, they lose their lubricity, so parts stay together. They leave no residue on assembled parts.
Semisynthetic-oil-based lubricants are a mix of synthetic and vegetable oil and are compatible with most plastic and rubber. They’re frequently used with hoses, O-rings, seals, and rubber grips. Water-based lubricants are designed for use with polyurethane and vinyl conveyor roller covers.

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. Lubricants with zinc prevent corrosion.
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. Molykote DX Paste has good corrosion resistance. It provides long-lasting lubrication after assembly.
Lubriplate No. 105 is often used to assemble motor and engine components. It has excellent moisture resistance.
