MOLYKOTE® 41 Extreme High Temperature Grease
Non-Melting Silicone Grease for Extreme High-Temperature Applications
MOLYKOTE® 41 Extreme High Temperature Grease is a high-performance, NLGI Grade 2 silicone grease engineered for equipment operating at temperatures beyond the capabilities of conventional silicone greases. Its non-melting formulation provides excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and water resistance for reliable lubrication in demanding high-temperature environments.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Extreme High-Temperature Performance: Designed for service temperatures from -20°C to 290°C (-4°F to 554°F).
-
Non-Melting Formulation: Does not melt, even when exposed to extreme operating temperatures.
-
Excellent Thermal Stability: Helps maintain dependable lubrication during prolonged high-temperature service.
-
Superior Oxidation Resistance: Resists degradation caused by heat and oxidation for reliable long-term performance.
-
Water Resistant: Provides dependable lubrication where moisture or water exposure may be present.
-
Plastic and Rubber Compatibility: Offers good compatibility with many plastic and rubber materials.
Extreme Temperature Lubrication for Demanding Equipment
MOLYKOTE® 41 Extreme High Temperature Grease is formulated with a silicone base oil and carbon black thickener to provide dependable lubrication where conventional greases may soften, melt, or deteriorate. With a service temperature range extending up to 290°C (554°F), it is particularly suited for equipment exposed to sustained or extreme heat.
This high-temperature silicone grease can be used in applications including oven conveyors, kiln dollies, molten-salt evacuation pumps, steam-turbine regulator links, and knife-edge power breakers. Additional application areas include rolling-element bearings, plain bearings, bushings, sleeves, gears, gearboxes, pumps, power screw drives, slides, guides, and tracks where its performance characteristics meet equipment requirements.
MOLYKOTE 41 combines a non-melting consistency with excellent thermal and oxidation stability, making it a specialized solution for industrial maintenance and high-temperature lubrication applications. The formulation contains no intentionally added PTFE or PFAS.
