Molykote® P-74 is a high-load, metal-free lubricating and anti-seize paste developed for threaded joints, sliding assemblies, and interfaces requiring stable friction control. It provides a uniform lubricating layer that supports predictable torque, prevents cold welding, and enables smooth assembly and disassembly even under demanding mechanical conditions.

• Wide Temperature Range – Molykote® P-74 operates reliably from −40 to 200°C, maintaining structure and lubricity under thermal cycling and intermittent heating. Temperature stability is verified through penetration and viscosity retention measurements, which show minimal deviation across the rated range. This ensures predictable torque behavior and reduced risk of galling during assembly in varying environments.

  
  

• Oxidation Control – The formulation resists degradation when exposed to air and elevated temperatures, confirmed through controlled oxidation testing that demonstrates slower viscosity increase compared to conventional pastes. This protection ensures stable lubrication over extended intervals and reduces maintenance actions associated with hardened or degraded materials.

  
  

• Water Resistance – Molykote® P-74 maintains its functional film in humid, wet, or splash-loaded environments. Water-washout test data show low mass loss, confirming reliable adhesion of the lubricating layer. This characteristic helps protect threaded fasteners and sliding parts from moisture-related performance loss.

  
  

• Material Compatibility – The paste is compatible with many plastics, elastomers, and metallic materials, reducing risks of swelling, stress cracking, or chemical reactions. Compatibility assessments involving elastomer volume-change measurements and plastic stress-resistance tests confirm its suitability for mixed-material assemblies found in industrial, automotive, and aerospace use.

  
  

• Low Volatility – Low evaporative loss supports long-term lubrication in sealed and semi-sealed systems. Volatility testing under elevated temperature demonstrates minimal mass reduction, which prevents residue formation and preserves lubrication thickness. This stability enhances the durability of connections exposed to continuous heat or operational cycling.

• Automotive – Molykote® P-74 is applied to threaded fasteners, brake system hardware, seat mechanisms, and connecting components that require stable torque behavior. It prevents seizure in vibration-prone environments and supports consistent assembly line performance.

  
  

• Industrial Machinery – The product is used on bolts, couplings, and sliding joints in pumps, gear-driven systems, and high-load industrial assemblies. It minimizes teardown difficulty and reduces wear in equipment subjected to heavy loads and repetitive motion cycles.

  
  

• Power Generation – Molykote® P-74 supports lubrication of turbine casing bolts, high-temperature fasteners, and auxiliary mechanical connections. Its oxidation stability and controlled friction performance enhance reliability during maintenance intervals in thermal and renewable power facilities.

  
  

• Aerospace – The paste is used in aircraft assembly operations for threaded and sliding interfaces where predictable torque and metal-free lubrication are required. It helps prevent cold welding and supports safe disassembly during scheduled service operations in demanding environmental conditions.

  
  

• Maintenance & Repair – Technicians use Molykote® P-74 for MRO tasks involving seized fasteners, machinery reassembly, and corrosion-prone interfaces. Its ability to prevent galling and facilitate smooth disengagement reduces repair times and improves long-term service reliability.
