- Moisture-Resistant Seal Lubrication
- Rubber and Plastic Component Coverage
Product Description
MOLYKOTE G-804 Silicone Compound is a stiff, nonmelting silicone fluid thickened with silica for lubrication of rubber and plastic O-rings, gaskets, seals and bushings. It also functions as a chemical- and water-resistant barrier coating and as a sealant or release agent for transformer gaskets and equipment enclosures. The white-to-translucent compound remains serviceable from -40 to 204 deg C and has low volatility and very low vapor pressure. It may be applied manually, by supported automated equipment, or by brushing or wiping.
Key features
- Nonmelting high-temperature lubrication: Remains serviceable across the -40 to 204 deg C temperature range.
- Rubber and plastic seal coverage: Supports O-rings, gaskets, seals, bushings and supported automotive boot components.
- Moisture-resistant barrier and release: Serves as a barrier, sealant or release compound for supported gasket and enclosure applications.
Applications
Applications include rubber and plastic O-rings, gaskets, seals, bushings, automotive spark-plug boots, boot seals, transformer gaskets and equipment enclosures.
