MOLYKOTE 1122 is a black, high-viscosity chain and open gear grease formulated with a synthetic base oil, inorganic thickener, and solid lubricants including MoS₂ and graphite. It is designed for heavy-duty lubrication where components operate under high contact pressure, slow speeds, and exposed conditions. This NLGI Grade 2-3 grease has high tack and adhesion properties, reducing migration or sling-off, and is certified for NSF H2 applications. 

• Extreme Pressure Stability - MOLYKOTE 1122 maintains a stable lubricating film under high surface pressures generated by heavily loaded chains and open gears. With NLGI Grade 2–3 consistency and solid lubricants such as MoS₂ and graphite, the grease supports boundary lubrication where metal contact pressure exceeds the load capacity of oil-only films.

  
  

• High Adhesion Strength - MOLYKOTE 1122 exhibits strong tackiness that allows it to adhere firmly to metal surfaces during operation. With a base oil viscosity of approximately 1,500 mm²/s at 40°C, the grease resists centrifugal throw-off on moving chains and gears, maintaining lubrication coverage in continuous motion systems.

  
  

• Solid Lubricant Support - MOLYKOTE 1122 contains a combination of molybdenum disulfide and graphite, providing emergency lubrication under extreme load or momentary lubricant starvation. These solids continue to reduce friction and wear when oil films are disrupted, supporting surface protection during start-up or shock loading.

  
  

• Water Resistance - MOLYKOTE 1122 demonstrates strong resistance to water exposure, helping maintain lubrication integrity in humid or wash-down environments. The grease structure limits water washout and emulsification, supporting consistent lubrication performance where moisture or condensation is present around chains and open gear drives.

  
  

• Temperature Performance - MOLYKOTE 1122 operates effectively within a service temperature range of 0°C to 160°C, maintaining grease structure and adhesion across typical industrial operating conditions. This temperature capability supports use in heated conveyors, drying equipment, and process machinery without excessive softening or oil separation.

• Heavily Loaded Chains - MOLYKOTE 1122 is applied directly to roller and conveyor chains operating under high load and slow speed. The grease is brushed or sprayed onto chain surfaces during maintenance to ensure penetration into joints, supporting continuous lubrication where re-lubrication intervals are extended.

  
  

• Open Gear Drives - MOLYKOTE 1122 is used on open gear sets in industrial machinery where gears are exposed and subject to high surface pressure. The grease is applied evenly along the gear teeth to maintain a protective lubricating layer during meshing, reducing wear under high load conditions.

  
  

• Textile Machinery Chains - MOLYKOTE 1122 is applied to tenter frame clamp chains in textile drying equipment. The grease is selected for its adhesion and temperature stability, allowing it to remain in place during continuous operation in heated environments without excessive sling-off or contamination.

  
  

• Food Sterilizer Conveyors - MOLYKOTE 1122 is used on conveyor chains in food sterilization systems where NSF H2 compliance is required. The grease is applied during scheduled maintenance to provide lubrication under heat and moisture while meeting incidental food contact requirements.

  
  

• Sliding Bearings - MOLYKOTE 1122 is applied to sliding bearings operating at low speeds and high temperatures. The grease is introduced into bearing contact zones to support boundary lubrication where oil films are insufficient, reducing wear during continuous load-bearing operation.
