Protective Coatings
- Anti-friction: Molykote coatings can help to reduce friction between moving parts, which can lead to improved performance and longer lifespan. This makes them ideal for use in applications where high loads or speeds are involved, such as in machinery, engines, and brakes.
- Anti-seize: Molykote coatings can also help to prevent seizing, which is a condition that occurs when two metal surfaces weld together due to friction and heat. This can be a major problem in applications where components are frequently disassembled and reassembled, such as in engines and machine tools.
- Anti-corrosion: Molykote coatings can also help to protect metal surfaces from corrosion. This is because they form a barrier between the metal and the surrounding environment, which can help to prevent the formation of rust and other forms of corrosion. This makes them ideal for use in applications where the metal is exposed to moisture or other corrosive substances, such as in the marine industry and in the food processing industry.
- Dielectric strength: Molykote coatings also have good dielectric strength, which means that they can resist the flow of electricity. This makes them ideal for use in electrical applications, such as in connectors and switchgear.
Automotive
Molykote coatings are used on piston rings, valve stems, and other moving parts to reduce friction and wear.
This can help to improve fuel efficiency and extend the life of the engine.
Manufacturing
Molykote coatings are used on tools and dies to reduce friction and wear.
This can help to improve productivity and reduce the cost of manufacturing.
Aerospace
Molykote coatings are used on bearings, seals, and other components to protect them from corrosion and wear.
This is important because aerospace components must be able to withstand extreme conditions, such as high temperatures and vibration.
Oil and Gas
Molykote coatings are used on valves, pumps, and other equipment to protect them from corrosion and wear.
This is important because oil and gas equipment must be able to withstand harsh environments, such as high temperatures and corrosive chemicals.

Motech Engineering Ltd have been applying Molykote product to precision machined parts for Chirton Engineering to be used in the oil and gas industry for many years now.
Manufactured by ourselves, this product has to be applied precisely and skilfully to ensure the part can withstand all the rigours that it has to endure in its final fitting and we have found Motech to provide not only a quality product but an excellent service, often meeting tight deadlines.
We would highly recommend this company.
