MOLYKOTE® G-Rapid Plus Paste is a solid lubricating paste with a particularly low friction coefficient for the assembly and running-in of metallic components. It consists of mineral oil and solid lubricants. It has a high pressure-absorption capacity, prevents seizure and scoring, suppresses stick-slip, reduces the formation of fretting corrosion, facilitates disassembly and provides emergency running performance. It is used for press-fitting all types of machine elements, running-in new machines and gears, permanent lubrication of machine elements with slight or intermittent movement, and drilling, sawing and thread-cutting.
Typical Properties
- Black; unworked penetration 255–275; density (20 °C) 1.40 g/ml
- Service temperature −35 to 450 °C
- Four-ball weld load 5300 N; Almen-Wieland OK load above 20,000 N
- Coefficient of friction (M12 bolted connection): thread 0.10, head 0.06; press-fit 0.05, no chatter
- Static water resistance (DIN 51 807) 1-90
Use and Storage
- Clean the sliding surfaces; apply thinly with a brush, cloth or sponge and rub into the metal; do not mix with greases or oils
- 60 months from production at 0–40 °C in the original unopened containers; spray 24 months at 5–35 °C
