MOLYKOTE® 112 High Performance Lubricant/Sealant Compound is a silicone-based, general-purpose lubricant with high shear and thermal stability performance.
MOLYKOTE® 112 High Performance Lube/Sealant is a high-performance greaselike lubricant engineered from specialty polydimethyl silicone fluids and an inert amorphous silica filler. MOLYKOTE® 112 High Performance Lubricant is nonvolatile and nonmelting and exhibits excellent water and oil resistance.
Translucent white in color, MOLYKOTE® 112 exhibits incredible longevity even in extreme temperatures and in the presence of harsh chemistries. This specialty lubricant is insoluble in water, methanol, ethanol, glycol, and glycerine and resistant to a number of inorganic salt solutions, acids, and alkalis for unrivaled versatility. This combination allows MOLYKOTE® 112 High Performance Lubricant to not carbonize at service temperatures, and any hardening or melting due to exposure to high temperatures is reduced.
