It is high-performance lubricants designed for the food and beverage industry. They are mineral-based lubricants thickened with aluminum complex and fortified with EP additives. They are an excellent choice where an NSF H1 status lubricant is required or when the product must be free of black particle contamination.

• Wide Temperature Range - Molykote G-0052 FM performs reliably from minus seventeen degrees to one hundred fifty degrees Celsius, validated through viscosity testing at forty degrees showing ninety nine centistokes and stable consistency under thermal cycling. This supports predictable friction levels in machines transitioning between chilled zones and heated sealing areas, helping maintain uniform torque and reducing wear throughout long production shifts.

  
  

• Oxidation Resistance - The lubricant shows strong resistance to oxidative thickening, demonstrated by controlled viscosity rise in warm air exposure tests compared with unfortified mineral oils. This minimizes sludge formation inside lubrication paths and preserves smooth movement in rubber and plastic components. Equipment operating continuously at elevated temperatures benefits from longer lubricant life and fewer maintenance interventions.

  
  

• Water Washout Resistance - Water washout evaluations confirm low grease loss under spray and moisture exposure, helping Molykote G-0052 FM maintain a stable lubricating film on seals, gears and sliding parts. This is valuable in production environments where equipment undergoes frequent cleaning or operates in high humidity. Reduced washout helps prevent corrosion initiation and friction spikes after washdown cycles.

  
  

• Material Compatibility - Compatibility tests with common elastomers and plastics show minimal swelling, hardness change or structural alteration after long term exposure at operational temperatures. This makes the grease suitable for polymer gears, O-rings and sealing components where dimensional integrity is essential. Maintaining material stability helps extend part life and reduce seal replacement frequency.

  
  

• Low Volatility - Evaporation tests at elevated temperatures demonstrate low mass loss, indicating strong base oil retention within the aluminum complex thickener. Low volatility avoids oil evaporation that could cause stiffening or premature drying. This supports long service intervals and helps maintain clean operating conditions by minimizing airborne or deposited residue in hygienic areas.

  
  

• Clean Lubrication Film - The white appearance and stable penetration consistency of Molykote G-0052 FM reduce risk of dark contamination in food processing environments. Its controlled oil bleed and uniform texture have been confirmed through worked penetration testing, making it suitable for equipment where lubricant visibility is part of hygiene monitoring or where product contact risk must remain minimal.

• Food and Beverage Processing - Molykote G-0052 FM is used on seals, gears and sliding components that may encounter incidental contact with processed products. Its NSF H1 suitability, white color and resistance to washdown help maintain clean operation. It supports mechanisms in filling, conveying and packaging lines where consistent motion and hygiene compliance are essential.

  
  

• Rubber and Elastomer Manufacturing - The grease is applied to rubber components and assembly interfaces to stabilize friction and prevent premature material degradation. Its compatibility with elastomers supports long service life and reduces torque variation during repetitive compression cycles. This is beneficial in equipment that manipulates or tests rubber components during production.

  
  

• Packaging Machinery - High speed packaging systems rely on Molykote G-0052 FM for smooth movement of plastic gears, cams and sealing parts. Its temperature stability and water resistance support extended lubrication cycles even under rapid mechanical cycling. This helps maintain precision indexing and operational efficiency across automated packaging lines.

  
  

• General Industrial Equipment - The lubricant is used in non food industrial environments requiring clean, material-safe lubrication. Bearings, sliding rails and small actuators benefit from its stable viscosity and compatibility with plastics. It supports consistent mechanical performance in equipment where contamination control and reliable motion are priorities.
