Chain Oil Resists Oxidation And Degradation

    March 22, 2007
    Molykote L-1428 high-temperature chain oil is a synthetic lubricant formulated to resist oxidation and thermal degradation while maintaining stable performance and lubricity under heavy loads and over a wide temperature range.

    The oil reduces chain drag and wear, extends oil drain intervals, helps prevent process interruptions, has extremely low volatility, and will not smoke or form carbon deposits. It is also suitable for high-temperature bearing applications.
