In the oil & gas industry, equipment and components face extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, corrosive environments and intense pressures. To ensure reliability and operational efficiency, it is essential to use high-performance lubricating oils and greases. With more than 120 years of experience, Mascherpa offers a full range of Molykote industrial lubricants including specialtylubricating oils, bearinglubricating greases and lubricating pastes. Molykote products meet industry-specific needs, improving equipment life and optimizing processes.
Key applications: valves, flanges and downhole equipment
Valve lubricating pastes and greases
Valves play a crucial role in the oil industry. Choosing specific lubricating greases or lubricating pastes ensures longer life and reliability:
- D-321 R Anti-Friction Coating: Ideal for dusty environments, prevents wear and does not attract dust particles.
- 3452 Chemical Resistant Valve Lubricant: Optimal for harsh petrochemical conditions.
Lubricating pastes for flanges and downhole equipment
Threaded connections need lubricating pastes and gear lubricating greases to ensure effective lubrication even under extreme conditions:
- P-37 Paste: known to ensure constant torque and release, even under high temperature conditions. This paste prevents galling and corrosion, simplifying disassembly and extending equipment life.
- 1000 Paste: an ideal solution for flanges, with anti-seize properties that improve maintenance efficiency and reliability.
Lubricating greases for bearings and chains
We offer specific solutions for the lubrication of critical components:
- BR-2 Plus High-Performance Grease: designed for rolling bearings subjected to high loads, offers exceptional protection against wear.
- 1122 Chain and Open Gear Grease: ensures reliable performance even under extreme operating conditions.
The LETS protocol for optimal choice
To address the challenges of the oil industry, Molykote uses the LETS (Load, Environment, Temperature, Speed) protocol to identify the best lubricating oil or grease for each application. This approach ensures optimal performance, increased sustainability, and reduced maintenance costs.
Sustainability and innovation in industrial lubrication
Specialty lubricants ensure the highest quality performance, providing numerous key benefits for oil & gas operators from both ecological and application perspectives:
- Corrosion resistance: products such as P-3300 Paste protect threaded connections in underwater environments.
- Temperature extremes: high temperature lubricating greases, such as HP-300, ensure reliable performance in the harshest applications.
- Environmentally friendly alternatives: new formulations, such as P-1042 Adhesive Grease Paste, meet regulatory targets and offer superior performance.
- Increased uptime: reducing wear and ensuring smooth operation, Molykote special lubricants maximize equipment availability.
- Simplified maintenance: anti-seize pastes and advanced packaging options, such as aerosols, simplify application and disassembly.
- Increased sustainability: environmentally friendly formulations are in line with industry regulations to reduce environmental impact.
- Tailored solutions: with a full range of greases, oils, pastes and coatings, Mascherpa with its Molykote product range meets the specific needs of oil and gas equipment.
