Enhancing Performance and Lifetime: The Importance of Lubricating Plastic Gears

MOLYKOTE® G-4500

Table of Contents

Plastic gears, despite their lightweight and cost-effective nature, still require careful attention when it comes to maintenance. By incorporating a suitable lubricant, we can unlock a range of benefits, from reducing friction and increasing efficiency to minimizing wear. Molykote G-4500 is a high-performance synthetic lubricating grease that combines the advantages of working temperature range and compatibility with a variety of materials.

Why is MOLYKOTE® G-4500 FM Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease the perfect fit for plastic gears systems

  • Meets FDA Regulation 21 CFR 178.3570 and USDA H1 classifications for incidental food contact i.e., no issue if coffee accidentally gets contaminated with the grease.
  • Provides excellent plastic compatibility (mechanical properties of POM gears are not impacted).
  • Lowers friction between gears which reduces operational temperatures and therefore prevents overheating/downtimes.
  • Controls perfectly the torque transmitted between the gears, and as a result prevents damage of tooth flanks of the gears respectively deformation/cracking of the gears.
