Molykote 111 Silicone Compound 150G

Molykote 111 Compound

Molykote 111 Compound is a one component, silicone oil that is used for damping, sealing, and lubricating outdoor equipment, pressure systems, electrical equipment, and used as an anti-stick. It provides low volatility, low vapor pressure, wide service temperature range, and water resistance.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Wide service temperature range (40° C/40°F to 200°C/392°F)
• Molykote 111 is used for lubrication, control and pressure plug valves, water softener and faucet valves
• Sealant for vacuum and pressure systems
• Low vapor pressure
• Low volatility
• Excellent water resistance
• Good Plastics & Rubber Compatibility
• Drinking Water Regulatory Approval
• Wide Service Temperature
• Good Oxidative Stability
• Good Thermal Stability
• Lubrication for control and pressure plug valves, water softener and faucet valves
• Sealant for vacuum and pressure systems
• Damping medium for dash pots in electrical and electronic equipment
• Rubber and plastic O-rings, gaskets and seals

APPLICATIONS

• Lubrication for control and pressure plug valves, water softener and faucet valves
• Sealant for vacuum and pressure systems
• Sealant for outdoor equipment (also shipboard) subject to washing and harsh environmental exposure: meters, electrical service entrance and underground connections
• Damping medium for dash pots in electrical and electronic equipment
• Molykote® 111 Compound is used as an anti-stick and a sealant for transformer gasket and equipment enclosures. It prevents gaskets from sticking to metal and resists weathering and water washout.
• Rubber and plastic O-rings, gaskets and seals

How to use/How to apply

MOLYKOTE® 111 Compound can be applied by hand, specially
designed automated equipment, brushing or wiping. Certain
designs of grease guns may seize up; test prior to use. A thinner
consistency can be achieved by dispersing in solvents such as
xylene, mineral spirits and methyl ethyl ketone. MOLYKOTE® 111
Compound can then be applied by brushing, dipping or spraying.
MOLYKOTE® 111 Compound should not be applied to any
surface that will be painted or finished. Such coatings may not
adhere to the silicone-treated surface. If contaminated by a
silicone coating, parts can be wiped or washed with solvent,
washed with detergent, or immersed in an alcoholic potassium
hydroxide solution and then rinsed in clear water before painting.

Chemical resistance

MOLYKOTE® 111 Compound is not greatly affected by mineral
oils, vegetable oils or air. It is generally resistant to dilute acids
and alkalines and to most aqueous solutions. Because each application may vary in chemical composition,
pressure, flow velocity, relubrication requirements and equipment
design, it is recommended that the silicone compound be tested
before adopting for regular use. MOLYKOTE® 111 Compound is not to be used with liquid oxygen
and should not be used in applications requiring LOX
compatibility.
