SILICONE-BASED O-RING GREASE – MOLYKOTE 55 O-RING GREASE
Molykote 55 O-Ring Grease is a silicone-based lubricating grease thickened with lithium soap and designed for O-rings, seals, and rubber/metal interfaces. It provides excellent performance over a wide temperature range and enhances sealing by slightly swelling elastomer materials.
Applications:
-
O-rings, seals, and gaskets
-
Pneumatic systems, valves, and regulators
-
Automotive, aerospace, and industrial sealing systems
-
Low- and high-temperature rubber/metal contact areas
