The oil & gas industry truly powers all other industries. Therefore, it is critical that these facilities are kept operating at peak performance and protected with reliable and robust lubrication. MOLYKOTE® provides an industry leading portfolio of performance greases, pastes, anti-friction coating, oils and more for a wide variety of applications in the refinery, drilling and Oil & Gas industries. Learn how the MOLYKOTE® Industrial Lubricants provide long-lasting and high performing protection.
Why Use MOLYKOTE® Specialty Lubricants in the Oil & Gas Industry?
Extreme Exposure Resistance
MOLYKOTE® lubricants are engineered to withstand the harshest outdoor environments without loss of performance or protection. These specialty lubricants can withstand long-term exposure to sunlight, salt spray, abrasive sand and other airborne contaminants while providing the necessary lubrication performance.
Exceptional Thermal Stability
Within the oil & gas industry, there are thousands of different processes requiring various levels of extreme cold or hot operating environments. The MOLYKOTE® family of performance lubricants provide a suite of solutions with robust thermal stability. The table of solutions below includes useful operating temperature ranges for reference.
Excellent Chemical Stability
MOLYKOTE® Specialty Lubricants are an ideal solution for the refinery industry due to their chemical stability and reliability when exposed to fuels, solvents, and other harmful & corrosive chemistries integral to the refinery processes.
Unrivaled Protection & Performance
MOLYKOTE® is well known for the powerful solutions against friction, wear, corrosion, galling fretting & more. These performance lubricants can help optimize the production environment by providing:
Multipurpose penetrating lubricant for loosening rusted parts; stopping squeaks; and providing corrosion protection, water displacement and long-term lubrication
For use where tacky grease is preferred or required, such as chains, cams, open gears, valves, and sprockets where water wash-off or grease sling-off is problematic
Typical applications include serving as an additive to oil-lubricated gears, bearings, machine tools and metalworking; used in extreme-pressure applications
Prevent seizure & damage of threaded connections during assembly/disassembly after high-temp exposure; compatible with stainless steel & other high-alloys, drilling equipment
For use in harsh chemical environments, (HCl, methyl chloride, etc.); Used in flooded screw compressors and vacuum pumps in process gas applications; recommended for process gas oil and non-air/non-hydrocarbon gas compression
