Molykote: low-friction coatings for components and equipment

Molykote is a range of low-friction coatings that improves the durability of your components.

They are high-performance treatments that provide much-needed lubrication to machine parts. They can be tailored according to load, environment, temperature and speed.

Often described as “lubricating paints,” the Molykote range contains solid lubricants dispersed through carefully selected resin blends and solvents.

When applied to a metal or plastic surface, the coating bonds to the material, providing a dry and clean lubricating film. This enables the surface to withstand friction, even when placed under extreme pressure.

The low-friction coatings help customers improve safety, reliability and performance by controlling friction and wear, preventing component failures, extending lubrication intervals, and reducing production and operating costs.

• dry, clean lubrication unaffected by dust, dirt and moisture

• lifetime lubrication without aging, evaporation or oxidation

• rust prevention without surface treatments (e.g., galvanizing)

• non-flammable, non-staining protection on metals, plastics and elastomers

• controlled film thickness for exact load-bearing capabilities

• fully effective lubrication, even after prolonged shutdown

Through time, the performance of your equipment reduces if it’s not maintained properly using corrosion-resistant, low-friction coatings.

Molykote ultimately saves energy, reduces maintenance and makes your equipment safer and more reliable – all of which improves your company’s productivity.

When it comes to applying Molykote, one size doesn’t fit all.

At Nexus Surface Treatments, we use a variety of application methods, including spraying, dipping and brushing, depending on the surface material.

We have advised a variety of companies over a range of different industries on the best use of Molykote for specific jobs to ensure the right application method is used at all times.

In order for Molykote to work effectively, a proper coating process needs to be followed. At Nexus, our experienced team can advise on the most effective way for the product to be applied to your surfaces.

At Nexus, we’re accredited to both ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 for quality and environmental. Our highly-trained team includes approved NORSOK technicians and AMPP/NACE inspectors.

If you need a dry-film lubricant that provides superior lubrication and can handle extreme working environments, then Molykote could be the surface coating that will protect your equipment.
