Heavy-duty protection with Molykote

Practical benefits

Reduced friction and wear: You protect metal components from premature surface damage and significantly extend the lifespan of your gears.
Increased load carrying capacity: You enhance the load resistance of mineral lubricating oils and prevent pitting under demanding mechanical stress.
Quieter running and safety: You reduce operating noise while providing critical emergency lubrication properties during sudden heavy loads.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With Molykote M 55 Plus oil additive, you effectively protect heavily loaded gearboxes, bearings, and industrial drive systems from friction and mechanical wear. This solid MoS2 lubricant dispersion substantially increases the load-carrying capacity of mineral lubricating oils, preventing scuffing and pitting on metal contact surfaces. Simply add 5% by volume to your oil, or up to 10% under extreme operating stress, to achieve smoother and quieter machinery operation. It also provides dependable emergency running properties in the event of temporary oil starvation or sudden peak loads. Compatible with drip-feed oilers and centralized lubrication units, this additive comes in a convenient 1 L tin.
