2. Molykote® Product Selection Guide
To determine which grease is right for your application, start at the left of the selection guide, and follow your Molykote® Bearing Grease Product Specifications
criteria until you reach a Molykote bearing grease. If you have multiple criteria (i.e., low temp and food grade), select
the most important criteria and continue until you reach the Molykote grease designed for your application. Name Description Color Temperature Range Thickener/Base oil Base oil viscosity
