MOLYKOTE® DX Paste is a light coloured grease-paste with solid lubricants for the assembly and long-term lubrication of metallic components. It reduces friction in low-speed, high-load applications by delivering white solid lubricants in a mineral oil carrier to the point of lubrication. It offers particularly high load-carrying capacity, good water and water washout resistance, prevents stick-slip and seizure, and protects against corrosion and galling while providing clean lubrication. It contains mineral oil, lithium soap, solid lubricants and a corrosion inhibitor. It is used in electrical and domestic appliances, packaging and office machinery, precision instruments and textile and plastics processing machinery.
