MOLYKOTE® 55 O-Ring Grease is a silicone-based material that helps ensure positive lubrication and sealing by slightly swelling rubber O-rings and seals. This product is heat-stable and oxidation-resistant and is serviceable from approximately -65 to 175°C (-85 to 347°F). How to use MOLYKOTE® 55 O-Ring Grease should be applied using brush, grease gun, or automatic lubrication system. MOLYKOTE® 55 ORing Grease can be used in centralized lubrication systems. Do not mix with other greases. MOLYKOTE® 55 O-Ring Grease has been shown to swell natural rubber. However, compatibility of the lubricant may vary with the plasticizer content of specific materials (especially elastomers). Small-scale compatibility testing should be conducted prior to the use of this product in any application.MOLYKOTE® 55 O-Ring Grease should not be used with the following materials unless thoroughly tested for your specific application: • Silicone rubber (SR) • Polycarbonate (PC) • Acrylonitrile-butadiene- styrene (ABS) • Liquid oxygen (or other strong oxidizers)Typical properties Specification writers: These values are not intended for use in preparing specifications.
