Molykote G-1502FM, a highly rated product of Dow Corning, has been formulated to provide solutions to the problems and challenges faced by the equipment. In an environment with a lot of water content, the proper maintenance of mechanical equipment becomes a challenge and special lubrication is required to make them tenacious and tough for efficient performance. It is required for the mechanical equipment to be prevented from corrosion and wear and tear and simultaneously water spray should also be resisted. In addition, good grade grease with proper lubrication will improve the durability and reliability of the equipment by decreasing the risks of surface degradation.


Molykote G-1502FM provides a solution of proper lubrication meeting all these demands and challenges faced by the mechanical equipment. This gear grease and synthetic bearing solution extend the life of the equipment by simplifying it and helps in cost reduction. It is a technology driven product that can be used for numerous applications.

    Some of the basic objectives for which this product can be used include:
  • water resistance
  • rust protection
  • corrosion resistance
  • high pressure wash down
  • bearing grease for industrial purposes
  • good grade grease
  • gear grease
  • food and beverage grease
  • wet environment grease
  • industrial chain grease
  • waste water treatment grease
  • tacky grease
  • FDA approved grease
  • H1 rated grease, and
  • food contact grease
Thus, G-1502FM is a versatile and popular product of Dow Corning that can be used as gear grease and synthetic bearing. Understanding the needs of the mechanical equipment, DC Molykote G-1502FM is also popularly known as ‘Tenaciously Tacky’ product as given by the manufacturer. Some of the basic industries and applications of this product are food and beverages, waste water treatment, and wet operating environments.

The applications requiring tacky grease should use Molykote G-1502FM in the equipment such as open gears, chains, valves, sprockets and cams where it is difficult to wash off water and it is not possible to tolerate that grease would sling off. . Molykote G-1502FMhas remarkable features offering excellent resistance and adhesion to water spray off and wash out. It has fully synthetic base oil preventing corrosion, rust and oxidation and the grease is water resistant. This product of Dow Corning is approved by NSF HI and meets the regulation of FDA for the incidental applications related to food contact, such as good grade grease.
The additional benefits offered by G-1502FM include good compatibility with engineering and industrial substrates, such as rubber and plastic, higher capability of load carrying, wide range of service temperature and provides longer service life. This product should be stored in original containers that are unopened at a temperature range of 95°F to 32°F (35°C to 0°C) and it has usable life of 5 years from the production date.
