Product Information
Specialty
Lubricants
FEATURES
• Particularly suitable for long-term
lubrication by virtue of its
extremely low tendency towards
oxidation
• High drop point >250ºC (482ºF);
consequently reduced risk of
melting and run-out from
lubrication point
• Wide service temperature range,
-40ºC to +200ºC (-40ºF to +392ºF),
for short periods, up to 230ºC
(446ºF)
• High resistance to water and water
washout
• Resistant to mineral oil, fuels and
many chemicals
Molykote® 1292 Long Life
Bearing Grease
APPLICATIONS
• Lubricating grease for metal/metal combinations with slow to medium-fast
movements and medium loads over a wide temperature range.
