Manufactured by Dow Corning, this premium lubricant is engineered for rolling bearings and high-stress components, delivering exceptional performance in extreme temperatures and harsh environments. Its advanced formulation combines oxidation resistance, water resistance, and long-lasting lubrication, making it a reliable choice for coating factories, disinfectant plants, and wood processing facilities. The Molykote 7348 silicone grease ensures smooth machinery operation, reduces wear and tear, and extends equipment lifespan—all while maintaining consistency in even the most challenging conditions.
Material
Crafted with a high-quality silicone-based formula, the Molykote 7348 features a robust composition designed for durability and performance. The silicone base provides superior thermal stability, allowing the grease to withstand high temperatures without breaking down. Infused with anti-oxidation additives, the material resists degradation over time, while its water-resistant properties protect against moisture-related damage. Compatible with bearing steel and other common industrial materials, this lubricant forms a stable film that adheres to surfaces, ensuring continuous protection even under heavy loads and prolonged use.
Product Advantages
Exceptional High Temperature Stability
The Molykote 7348 thrives in high-temperature environments, maintaining its lubricating properties even when exposed to extreme heat. This makes it ideal for machinery like drying machines and industrial ovens that operate at elevated temperatures.
Superior Oxidation Resistance
With low oxidation rates, the grease remains stable over long periods, preventing the formation of harmful deposits that can clog components or reduce efficiency. This oxidation resistance extends lubrication intervals and minimizes maintenance.
Long-Term Lubrication Performance
Designed for long-term lubrication, the Molykote 7348 reduces the need for frequent reapplication. Its low evaporation rate ensures consistent performance, even in continuous-operation machinery.
Excellent Water Resistance
The formulation repels water and moisture, protecting bearings and transmission chains from rust, corrosion, and lubricant degradation. This is critical for humid environments or machinery exposed to water during operation.
Reduced Wear & Tear
By minimizing friction between moving parts, the grease reduces wear on rolling bearings, transmission chains, and other components. This extends equipment lifespan and lowers replacement costs for businesses.
Applications
Rolling Bearing Lubrication
Specifically formulated for rolling bearings in industrial equipment, including motors, pumps, and conveyors. It provides reliable lubrication for both radial and thrust bearings, ensuring smooth rotation.
Coating Factory Machinery
Ideal for lubricating components in coating factories, such as conveyor systems, rollers, and mixing equipment. Its resistance to high temperatures and chemicals makes it suitable for paint and coating production lines.
Disinfectant Plant Equipment
Suitable for use in disinfectant plants, where machinery may be exposed to moisture and harsh chemicals. The water-resistant formula protects critical components from corrosion.
Wood Processing Drying Machines
Perfect for drying machines in wood processing facilities, where high temperatures and continuous operation demand a durable lubricant. It keeps transmission chains and bearings running efficiently.
High-Temperature Industrial Applications
Designed for any machinery operating in extreme heat, including furnaces, ovens, and heat-treated equipment. Its thermal stability ensures consistent performance in temperatures that would degrade standard lubricants.
Transmission Chain Lubrication
Effective for lubricating transmission chains in manufacturing lines, ensuring smooth power transfer and reducing chain wear. It works well for both light and heavy-duty chain systems.
