Harmonization Code : 3403.19 | Lubricating Preparations (With 70% or More Petroleum Oils) For Automotive and Other Uses
Main features
- NLGI 00 Automatic Dispensing
- NSF H1 Incidental-Contact Lubrication
- Multipurpose Machine-Element Coverage
Product Description
MOLYKOTE G-4000 FM Semi-Fluid Synthetic Grease is a white NLGI 00 semi-fluid grease based on PAO oil, an aluminum-complex thickener, PTFE and other lubricating solids. Its low consistency supports automatic dispensing to rolling and plain bearings, cams, guides, ways and compatible gearboxes other than hypoid or worm units. The grease has NSF H1 approval and complies with FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 for incidental food-contact lubrication. Typical properties include 220 cSt base-oil viscosity at 40 deg C, 410 to 440 penetration, and a 0.60 mm four-ball wear scar. The estimated temperature range is -40 to 149 deg C.
Key features
- NLGI 00 automatic dispensing: Provides semi-fluid consistency for supported manual and automated grease-delivery methods.
- NSF H1 incidental-contact lubrication: Lubricates supported machinery where incidental food contact may occur.
- Multipurpose machine-element coverage: Fits supported bearings, cams, guides, ways and compatible gearbox configurations.
Applications
Applications include rolling and plain bearings, cams, guides, ways and compatible gearboxes, excluding hypoid and worm gearboxes.
