In the Oil & Gas industry, especially on offshore installations where atmospheric conditions are very critical and where equipment reliability is absolutely imperative, special lubricants specially formulated for these heavy-duty uses are needed.
Molykote® P-40 is a metal-free adhesive lubricating paste that can be used for all continuous assembly and lubrication applications, especially those exposed to corrosive environments such as splashing water, including salt water, humidity and frequent temperature changes.
Effective under high loads and adverse conditions Molykote® P-40, a pumpable grease-like paste, is used by major OEMs on flexible offshore torque arms to improve reliability and reduce downtime and production interruptions.
Main applications are threaded connections, splined shafts, flat and rolling bearings, cams, gears, etc . Molykote® P-40 is also particularly suitable for continuous lubrication.
- Excellent adhesion
- Excellent corrosion protection
- Good water resistance
- Good resistance to “fretting corrosion”
