leled, consolidated source of lubricant
One Trusted Source for supply under one company name –
All Your Lubricant Needs a company you know and trust for
superior products and services. As a result, you can get all your lubricants,
application support, technical service and product information from one, trusted
source – Dow Corning!
From Mineral Oils to Synthetics
With Dow Corning, you get access to the most complete line of lubrication
products available, including mineral oils and state-of-the-art synthetic fluids.
In so doing, we help manage your lubricating maintenance requirements with
a comprehensive line of fluids and oils for every need. Marketed under the
Molykote® brand name, these products help keep hydraulic systems, air com-
pressors, pumps, gearboxes, chain drives, refrigeration compressors and other
plant mechanical systems operating at peak efficiency.
Our product line, which includes lubricants suited for food contact, is
particularly suited for use in food and beverage processing plants, as well
as steel, chemical, petrochemical and other industries.
Specialty Lubricants
Our offering also includes a complete line of high-performance specialty lubri-
cants that help reduce friction and wear, extend lubrication intervals and reduce
maintenance and replacement costs in applications with performance require-
ments that cannot be met by conventional oils and greases. These products are
formulated to withstand heavy loads; dirty, dusty or chemically harsh environ-
ments; and a wide range of temperatures and speeds under extreme conditions.
In addition to lubricating fluids, Dow Corning
offers five classes of specialty lubricants including
compounds, greases, pastes, anti-friction coatings
and dispersions. For more information about our
specialty lubricants, contact your local Dow Corning
representative.

3. Industrial Lubricants
High Quality, Better Value
Molykote High Performance Industrial Lubricants
from Dow Corning provide superior performance for
nearly every lubricating maintenance requirement in
your plant.
This line of Molykote lubricants and fluids meets
specifications over a wide temperature range due to
the high purity level of the base stocks. Oil drain
intervals can be extended because these fluids
survive high temperatures and continue to perform
as originally specified, which reduces costs associ-
AV04918
ated with lubricant consumption. In addition,
contrary to conventional mineral oils, Molykote products do not contain many of the by-products that cause lubricant
degradation. As a result, they help prevent buildup of “varnish” on internal parts, which helps extend equipment life
and prevent costly cleaning of fouled components. All these factors add up to more continuous trouble-free operation
and lower overall maintenance costs due to superior lubricant performance. This means you get the best value for your
lubricant dollar! Superior lubricant performance. Lower overall costs.
So remember, “… when it absolutely has to work, it has to be Molykote!”
High Performance Industrial Lubricating Fluids
Molykote synthetic oils are made by combining molecular “building blocks” to meet targeted performance specifica-
tions and to minimize impurities. Synthetic oils are formulated with new generation performance-enhancing additives.
Molykote mineral oils are produced in a patented hydrocracking process, which ensures that they are nearly free of
contaminants. Synthetic blends are comprised of synthetic and mineral oil base stocks.
Hydraulic Oils
Molykote hydraulic oils minimize formation of emulsions in contact with water due to the purity of
the base fluid. They will generally perform successfully in hydraulic systems far longer than conven-
tional hydraulic oils. Plants can gain significant savings from reduced oil consumption, reduced
disposal cost, labor savings and fewer interruptions to production. These non-toxic oils are derived
from hydrocracked or synthetic base stocks and can be used in systems designed for low pour point
or high flash point mineral oils.
