MOLYKOTE PAO grease G-1041 offers excellent corrosion protection
CASE STUDYProven performance: MOLYKOTE G-1041 Grease offers excellent corrosion protectionThe application:Copper contacts of motorcycle ignition locks.Problem:During daily use, ignition locks are subject to corrosion, which forms surface compounds such as oxides, sulfates or sulfides. The customer’s existing grease was not of stable quality and could not meet the ASTM D4048 1A Copper Corrosion standard, which resulted in increased contact resistance.The increased resistance affected the ...
MOLYKOTE Multipurpose Grease Quadruples Kiln Seal Replacement Service Life
CASE STUDYApplicationMaintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) operations for sliding runners and kiln seals in a cement operation. Operational parameters (LETS)Load: High, with shock loadingEnvironment: Outdoors; dustyTemperature: -40 to +130°C Speed: Up to 1.5 m/sProcess description: Centralized lubrication system (lubrication on the sliding surface)ChallengeThe grease was quickly oxidizing from constantly being heated to +130°C and being exposed to coke dust. There was wear on the ...
MOLYKOTE HP-300 Grease Protects Critical Inverter Electrical Connections
CASE STUDYThe applicationElectric vehicles depend on AC/DC power inverters to change the direct current (DC) electrical output from the vehicle’s battery into alternating current (AC) to power the engine and other components. These batteries supply 500 volts of power and a maximum current of 500 amps, so reliable inverter operation is key to protecting battery life and the vehicle’s motor.The challengePower cables with O-ring seals made from various rubbers – including EPDM or silicone ...
MOLYKOTE M-77 Paste reduces noise in electric vehicle battery pack
CASE STUDYThe applicationAs the transportation industry electrifies and consumer demand for electric vehicles (EVs) grows, battery manufacturers are finding opportunities in meeting the needs of the expanding market. EV and battery manufacturers seek lighter weight, yet more compact, solutions to gain additional energy density and reduce cost. One immediate route to achieving these goals is eliminating the housings of battery modules and instead bonding individual cells directly to the cooling ...
