Heavy load protection with Molykote

Practical benefits

Increased oil load capacity: You significantly improve the load-carrying capacity of mineral oils thanks to finely dispersed solid lubricants.
Reduced friction and wear: You minimize mechanical component wear and lower running noise across gearboxes and bearing assemblies.
Dependable emergency running performance: The formulation prevents gear pitting and provides reliable emergency lubrication if the primary oil film breaks.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With Molykote M 55 Plus oil additive, you increase the load-carrying capacity of mineral oils and protect heavily loaded machinery against wear and metal fatigue. Formulated with solid lubricants, it minimizes running noise, prevents gear pitting, and ensures reliable emergency lubrication if the oil film breaks down under peak loads. Simply mix 5% by volume into your lubricating or gear oils, or 10% under particularly severe conditions. Whether managing preventative maintenance on industrial gearboxes or running in new gears and bearings, this 5 l can helps you keep equipment running smoothly and reliably.
