Product Overview
Molykote 1000paste is a premium high-temperature anti-sticking agent designed for metal bolts and threaded connections, manufactured by Dow Corning (Germany). As a versatile bolt lubricant and anti-bite solution, it plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of threaded components even in extreme conditions.
Formulated with a unique blend of mineral oil, thickener, metal powder, and graphite solid lubricant, this brown-colored paste delivers exceptional performance across a wide temperature range. It operates reliably from -30°C to 650°C, making it ideal for environments where temperature fluctuations and corrosion are constant challenges.
Packaged as 1KG per can with 10 cans per box, Molykote 1000paste is engineered to support frequent disassembly and tightening of fasteners without compromising their functionality. Its robust composition ensures long-term effectiveness, with a shelf life of 60 months when stored unopened at temperatures below 20°C.
Key Features
Exceptional Temperature Resistance
One of its standout attributes is its ability to perform consistently in extreme heat. Whether exposed to high-temperature industrial processes or cold ambient conditions, the paste maintains its lubricating and anti-sticking properties, preventing seizing even after prolonged exposure to 650°C.
Enhanced Thread Integrity
It significantly improves thread tightness, reducing the risk of loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion. This ensures that bolts, nuts, and studs remain securely fastened, minimizing maintenance downtime and operational hazards.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
The advanced formula provides a protective barrier against moisture, chemicals, and oxidation, making it suitable for use in corrosive environments such as chemical plants, steel mills, and marine applications.
High Load-Carrying Capacity
Designed to handle heavy loads, Molykote 1000paste ensures that threaded connections can bear substantial mechanical stress without degrading, extending the lifespan of components.
Stable Torque-Tension Relationship
Even after repeated disassembly and tightening cycles, the paste maintains a consistent relationship between torque and tension. This stability simplifies maintenance procedures and ensures precise fastening every time.
Applications
Industrial Machinery
Widely used in steel industry equipment, rolling mills, and industrial compressors, where high temperatures and heavy loads are common. It prevents seizing of bolts in furnace components, conveyor systems, and pressure vessels.
Automotive and Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Ideal for truck wheel bearings, exhaust system bolts, and engine components that endure extreme heat. It ensures easy removal of fasteners during repairs, even after prolonged exposure to high operating temperatures.
Energy Sector
In power plants (thermal, nuclear, and renewable), it is applied to turbine bolts, boiler connections, and pipeline flanges, where resistance to high heat and corrosion is critical for safety and reliability.
Marine and Offshore
Protects threaded connections in ship engines, offshore drilling equipment, and coastal infrastructure from saltwater corrosion and temperature variations.
Construction and Mining
Used in construction machinery (excavators, cranes) and mining equipment, where bolts and studs are exposed to dust, moisture, and heavy loads. It prevents rust and seizing, reducing maintenance costs.

FAQ
What is the shelf life of Molykote 1000paste?
When stored unopened at temperatures below 20°C, the product has a shelf life of 60 months from the date of production.
Can it be used on non-metal materials?
No, Molykote 1000paste is specifically formulated for metal bolts and threaded connections. It is not recommended for plastic or rubber components.
How does it differ from regular lubricants?
Unlike standard lubricants, it combines anti-sticking, anti-corrosion, and high-temperature resistance in one formula, making it suitable for extreme environments where regular lubricants would degrade or fail.
Is it compatible with all metal types?
Yes, it works effectively with carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and most other common metals used in industrial fasteners.
How should it be applied?
Clean the threaded surfaces thoroughly, then apply a thin, uniform layer of the paste to the threads before assembly. Avoid over-application, as excess paste may attract dirt.
Molykote 1000paste stands out as a reliable solution for maintaining threaded connections in demanding environments, combining durability, versatility, and performance to meet the needs of diverse industries.
