PST-558 is a silicone grease that’s designed for demanding applications where contacting surfaces are under light-to-medium loads, and where wide temperature ranges are expected. This PTFE-filled silicone grease is comparable to Dow Corning Molykote 44 bearing grease (DC-44) and to Novagard G351 silicone lubricant.
PST-558 has an operating range of −40°F to 400°F and an unworked penetration in the 260 to 310 range with a typical value of 290. This general-purpose silicone grease is water repellent and non-corrosive with minimal separation, excellent stability and dispersion, and low volatility. PST-558 silicone lubricating grease is non-corrosive to plastics and is ideal for conditions where long term lubrication is required.
Applications for PST-558 silicone grease include:
This PTFE-filled silicone compound is also used as a plastics gear lubricant, valve lubricant, corrosion inhibitor, and mold release. Additional uses include chain drives, starter motor overrun clutches and caliper guide pins.
PST-558 silicone lubricating grease is supplied in drums, plastic pails, jars, cartridges, and aluminum tubes. Private labeling and custom packaging are available to meet special requirements. Contact PolySi Technologies for more information.
