Dispersion of molybdenum disulfide in mineral oil used in extreme pressure applications. It is compatible with most gear oils and has little effect on their viscosity or oxidation stability.
Molykote M Gear Oil Additive is a premium, multi-purpose product to enhance the extreme pressure capacity for a range of petroleum-based oils & lubricnats. Engineered from high-purity mineral oil base and includes solid molybdenum (MOS2) lubricants dispersed that exhibit excellent surface protection in heavy load conditions.
Primary Use – Industrial gear oil additive; reducing friction in gearboxes; reducing wear and lowering operating temperatures.
Special Characteristics – High load-carrying capacity at slow to moderate speeds; compatible with most petroleum gear oils; resists foaming; reduces friction and wear.
Physical Form – Black, liquid dispersion of MoS 2 in mineral oil.
Applications – MOLYKOTE® M Gear Oil Additive is primarily designed as an extreme-pressure lubrication additive for petroleum oils. Typical applications include: • Gears – Gears at slow speeds and extreme pressures. • Bearings – Oil-lubricated plane bearings. • Machine tools – Added to oil reservoir for machine ways, slides, screws, servo mechanisms, transmissions and power-feed systems. (For non-oil-lubricated components, use MOLYKOTE® G-n Metal Assembly Paste or Spray.)
Temperature Range – From 0 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to 121 degrees Celsius), depending on oil to which it is added.
Limitations – Not recommended for use in synthetic oils or water-soluble cutting oils; not for use with wet clutches or other friction-controlled devices.
