Molykote G-8101 is a fully fluorinated synthetic grease designed for plastic-to-plastic and plastic-to-metal interfaces where stable, clean, and predictable motion is required. It provides a smooth operating feel during assembly and use, allowing components to move consistently without stick-slip or residue formation. It's controlled friction, clean handling, and long-lasting lubrication, especially in mechanisms exposed to demanding environments where stable performance and minimal contamination are essential.

• Wide Temp Range - The Molykote® G-8101 operates reliably from minus twenty degrees up to two hundred eighty degrees Celsius, supported by penetration values near two hundred eighty millimetres per ten strokes that indicate structural uniformity under thermal stress. This ensures stable lubrication in devices exposed to sudden temperature swings, prolonged heat, or cold-start conditions, enabling consistent mechanical motion without hardening or excessive thinning.

  
  

• Oxidation Stability - Air-exposure tests show extremely low change in mass and minimal alteration in base-oil characteristics, demonstrating strong oxidative resistance. This reduces the formation of acidic byproducts and surface deposits, helping components maintain smooth operation through long service intervals. The enhanced resistance supports dependable performance in systems requiring extended durability.

  
  

• Moisture Resistance - Water-spray and humidity testing indicate that the grease retains its lubricating film and resists washout in wet conditions. This prevents moisture-initiated wear on plastic and metal surfaces and maintains stable friction characteristics in environments where condensation, humidity or occasional splashes are present, ensuring consistent operation without corrosion-related interference.

  
  

• Material Friendly - Compatibility assessments show that the grease performs safely with common engineering plastics, elastomers and metals. It does not cause swelling, cracking or surface stress, and maintains clean separation during service. This allows reliable lubrication in assemblies using varied materials such as polyacetal gears, rubber O-rings and precision metal parts.

  
  

• Low Volatility - Evaporation testing at elevated temperatures shows minimal weight loss, confirming controlled volatility. This reduces the risk of vapour deposition on sensitive surfaces and helps maintain a stable lubricating layer during long-term operation. Low volatility is particularly important for enclosed systems where cleanliness and long-lasting performance are required.

• Semiconductor Manufacturing - Used in wafer-processing tools, precision actuators and motion guides where extremely low contamination and stable lubrication are required. The grease supports repeatable motion and prevents particulate generation essential for controlled semiconductor fabrication environments.

  
  

• Cleanroom Equipment - Applied to robotic joints, automated handling systems and sealed enclosures. Its low volatility and stable film formation prevent airborne residue and support compliance with cleanroom cleanliness standards used in high-purity production environments.

  
  

• Electronics - Suitable for plastic gears, switches, sliders and connectors inside electronic devices. Its material compatibility prevents stress cracking while ensuring smooth tactile motion, reducing mechanical noise and improving long-term reliability of fine mechanisms.

  
  

• Vacuum Systems - Used in vacuum-compatible actuators, sealed joints and sliding interfaces requiring minimal outgassing. The grease maintains adhesion at low pressure and prevents micro leaks, supporting stable operation in laboratory and industrial vacuum environments.

  
  

• Chemical Processing - Applied to valves, metering devices and sliding components exposed to aggressive chemicals. Its fully fluorinated composition provides strong chemical inertness, ensuring reliable lubrication where conventional greases degrade or react.

  
  

• Aerospace - Used in cabin mechanisms, instrumentation and lightweight plastic-metal assemblies where thermal extremes, low volatility and precision motion control are essential. The grease supports stable behaviour during rapid temperature transitions and long missions.
