Plastics & Rubber Compatibility

Some lubricants can cause plastics and rubber to discolor, swell and crack over time, so it is important to use the proper lubricant to avoid long-term damage. MOLYKOTE^® has lubricants tailored for substrate compatibility, whether you’re working with metals, plastics, elastomers or a combination of materials at high and low temperatures. 

Additionally, MOLYKOTE^® offers several specialty lubricant products that excel in plastic-on-plastic and plastic-on-metal applications. When oil spreading or migration is undesirable, low-bleed lubricants are recommended. Where a wet solution is undesirable, dry-film lubricants are available.
