Dow Corning's Molykote G-N Metal Assembly Paste is an extreme-pressure lubricant for assembly, press fitting, threaded connections, running-in and maintenance. Its composition is that of solid lubricants in mineral oil. In addition, this paste has a wide variety of applications which include: running-in lubricant (for new or rebuilt equipment, such as gears, splines, journal bearings, cams and ways); metalworking (helps prevent galling, welding and metal pickup on tools and dies in machining, stamping, and drawing operations, tube bending, thread rolling, cold heading, swaging and forging); assembly lubricant (reduces torque in tightening threaded fasteners and tension variation from bolt to bolt; eases disassembly and reduces chance of damage); press-fitting lubricant (allows press fitting without chatter or stick-slip in most cases; reduces the force required for interference fitting and minimizes distortion). This paste also helps prevent fretting wear and corrosion, and cold welding of bearing shafts, bushings and splines.
Approvals/References/Specification
Pratt & Whitney Canada Specification: PWC06-004
- Excellent protection against fretting wear and corrosion
- Extends service life
- Low friction
- Lubricate beyond the yield point of most metals in boundary applications, reducing wear and helping to prevent seizing, galling and excessive friction
- Aid run-in and reduce frictional force and surface damage
- Low coefficient of friction allows for effective conversion of torquing force into holding force; reduces the force required for disassembly of threaded fasteners
