2. Molykote® lasts 5 times as longer
and more
In applications where conventional mineral oils
gave a life of x, Molykote® gave 5x.
In the following page, you will see how.
It does make sense to look at the total cost (labour
costs, downtime costs, machine breakdown and
repair costs, etc) which does not increase when
shifting to pure hydrocracked base fluids from
Molykote®.

4. Benefits of Molykote® for Indian
Conditions
High humidity results in water contamination. This
dissolved water is not visible but can do lot of
insidious damage. Molykote formulated from
hydrocracked base stocks with proprietary additive
technology can –
Outlast the service life of conventional mineral oils by 5 times
due to its resistance to emulsification, as it can defers the
ageing process by not providing any site for the oxidant to
bond on the lubricating molecules. This protects equipment
from premature wear.
