Low Temperature Performance

Select MOLYKOTE® lubricants can handle low temperature applications by making use of synthetic fluids which have a very high Viscosity Index (VI) such as phenyl methyl silicone base oils which can operate in temperatures near -73 C. The lubricants are sometimes tested for low temperature torque values at these extreme environmental conditions and continue to perform where many other lubricant chemistries thicken to the point of turning solid and inhibiting any movement.
