MOLYKOTE®P-3700: Lubricating and anti-seize paste for threaded connections
MOLYKOTE®P-3700 is an efficient anti-seize and lubricating paste of high purity. This is mainly used for threaded connections working in high temperature environments including gas steam turbines and turbochargers.
MOLYKOTE®P-3700 anti-seize paste: key features.
- During assembly it provides controlled friction to support exact tension levels
- Paste with excellent anti-seize properties: Allows easy removal of screws, even after exposure to high temperatures
- Applicable to chromium alloys, even at high temperatures
- Free of calcium-containing ingredients
- High purity paste (regular monitoring of sulfur, calcium and halogen impurities)
- Meets environmental, health and safety requirements
Response to market needs and the trend toward more sustainable products
Threaded connections in high-temperature applications, such as turbines and turbochargers, need good lubrication to prevent seizing and provide adequate torque. MOLYKOTE® P-3700 offers these features over a wide service temperature range, from -30°C to 900°C, allowing maintenance after long periods of time at elevated temperatures to minimize material use and waste. In addition, MOLYKOTE® P-3700 lubricating paste complies with the EHS environmental, health and safety policy and also ensures high performance under stress.
Results of screw tests
Tests with the Schatz screw tester show that the MOLYKOTE® P-3700 provides consistent and repeatable forces across multiple screw types, regardless of screw type.
The formation of hexavalent chromium
MOLYKOTE® P-3700 lubricating paste successfully suppresses the formation of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) at high temperatures, one of the most dangerous environmental contaminants. while maintaining a fully functional anti-seize property.
