Description

MOLY with ANTIFRICTION TREATMENT is a superior quality extreme pressure grease that outperforms similar greases on the market.

Characteristics and Benefits

MOLY has a unique formulation combining the following elements:

- 5% molybdenum disulfide complex
- Overbased calcium sulfonate complex
- PROLAB's ANTIFRICTION TREATMENT
- High-quality mineral base oil

This exclusive formula makes MOLY a grease with exceptional performance:

- Very adhesive
- Reduces friction
- Protects against rust, corrosion and oxidation
- Offers exceptional resistance to load, shock and impact
- Offers exceptional resistance to water and washout
- Superior mechanical stability

MOLY's excellent properties help to extend lubrication intervals and save on maintenance costs. Available in three N.L.G.I. grades, MOLY can be used in all seasons.

Types of Applications

MOLY is essential in any business, from the smallest to the largest, regardless of its sector of activity. Highly adhesive, it is recommended for any application where resistance to load and washout is paramount.

It is particularly effective for lubricating pins, joints and slides.
