Hydrocracked mineral oil (MO) and
polyalphaolefin/mineral oil
(PAO/MO), based lubricants.
DESCRIPTION
Molykote® hydraulic oils minimize
formation of emulsions in contact with
water due to the purity of the base
fluid. They will generally perform
successfully in hydraulic systems far
longer than conventional hydraulic
oils. Plants can gain significant
savings from reduced oil consumption,
reduced disposal cost, labor savings
and fewer interruptions to production.
These non-toxic oils are derived from
hydrocracked or synthetic base stocks
and can be used in systems designed
for low pour point or high flash point
mineral oils.
HOW TO USE
Follow equipment manufacturer’s
recommendations for maintenance
procedures and oil specifications.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Product safety information required
for safe use is not included. Before
handling, read product and safety data
sheets and container labels for safe
use, physical and health hazard
information. The material safety data
sheet is available on the Dow Corning
website at www.dowcorning.com. You
can also obtain a copy from your local
Dow Corning sales representative or
Distributor or by calling your local
Dow Corning Global Connection.
USABLE LIFE AND
STORAGE
Molykote hydraulic oils have a shelf
life of 60 months from date of
manufacture. Refer to product
packaging for use-by date.
PACKAGING
To ensure the longest possible life for
lubricating fluids, sample analysis is
recommended. When utilized on a
regular basis, sample analysis can
track normal aging and depletion of
antioxidants in lubricating fluids.
Sample analysis can identify abnormal
contamination that may be limiting
lubricant life. Contact Dow Corning
customer service for additional
information.
