- -40 to 200 deg C Range
- Hand or Automated Application
Product Description
MOLYKOTE G-5511 Compound is a white NLGI 1-2 silicone-oil compound thickened with PTFE for water-tap and gas-valve lubrication. It is used between ceramic discs, rubber gaskets and plastic components and is suitable for hot water up to 85 deg C and cold-water service. The compound carries a service-temperature range of -40 to 200 deg C and may be applied by hand, brush or automated equipment. Typical properties include 320 unworked penetration and 1.3 g/ml density at 20 deg C, with water and oxidation resistance under defined laboratory conditions.
Key features
- Water-tap interface lubrication: Lubricates supported ceramic-disc, rubber-gasket and plastic-component contact points in water taps.
- -40 to 200 deg C service range: Has a broad temperature range for the supported lubrication applications.
- Hand or automated application: Can be applied manually, by brush or through supported automated equipment.
Applications
Applications include lubrication of ceramic discs, rubber gaskets and plastic components in water taps, plus supported gas-valve applications.
