MOLYKOTE® EM-60L Grease
MOLYKOTE® EM-60L is a synthetic, low-temperature grease formulated using a PAO (polyalphaolefin) base, thickened with lithium soap and blended with solid lubricants (e.g., PTFE). It’s specifically engineered for lubrication of plastic, metal, and mixed-material components operating under low torque and low-temperature conditions.
Key Features
Outstanding low-temperature performance: Extremely low torque requirements even at very cold temperatures.
High load & oxidational stability: Built to endure prolonged operation with minimal breakdown.
Wide material compatibility: Safe for use on plastics, metals, and mixed interfaces—silicone-free to prevent compatibility issues.
Clean & long-lasting: Features low seepage and is suited for environments demanding cleanliness.
Broad operating temperature range: Functional from –60 °C up to +130 °C.
