Extreme Lubricants for Extreme Conditions

Where ordinary lubricants fail, DuPont offers a specially formulated line of extreme-load MOLYKOTE® Specialty Lubricants for open-cast mining customers.

Modern open-pit mining requires the use of large mechanical equipment that can perform reliably in demanding environments. Because of the heavy load capacities and possible extremes of environments in open-cast mining operations, lubricants should offer special properties, such as:

  • Protection from extreme environments (heat and cold)
  • Performance in dusty environments
  • Heavy load capacity
  • Ability to meet OEM specifications
  • Environmental friendliness
  • Minimal product leakage from machine to environment

MOLYKOTE® brand lubricants resist squeeze-out, fling-off and water washout to extend equipment life and reduce unwanted downtime and maintenance costs. Less lubricant is needed to maintain superior performance, which increases productivity while saving energy and money for mining industry customers.
