Consistent Friction Enables Repeatable Assembly Results
Threaded connections are the most widely used detachable fastening method in mechanical and plant engineering. To ensure reliable long-term performance, defined friction characteristics and repeatable preload forces are essential. MOLYKOTE® P-3300 is a modern white anti-seize paste specifically developed to meet these requirements while also offering a PFAS-free, user-friendly formulation.
Defined Friction Characteristics Form the Basis for Safe and Efficient Assembly
Uniform friction between the bolt, thread and bearing surface is essential to ensure that the applied tightening torque is reliably converted into the required clamping force. Without proper lubrication, excessive friction losses can result in insufficient preload, potentially compromising operational safety. At the same time, the risk of thread seizure increases, making future maintenance and disassembly significantly more difficult.
MOLYKOTE® P-3300 provides consistent and repeatable friction characteristics over multiple tightening cycles, regardless of the bolt material used. This helps create safer, more reliable assembly processes while reducing the risk of installation errors and improving overall process stability.
Reliable Corrosion Protection Prevents Seizure Under Demanding Operating Conditions
In addition to delivering defined friction characteristics, MOLYKOTE® P-3300 offers excellent corrosion protection. Salt spray testing has shown that threaded connections protected with the paste remain free of corrosion on the treated surfaces even after prolonged exposure, whereas unlubricated fasteners exhibit significant rust formation.
The anti-seize paste also provides excellent water resistance, adheres securely to metal surfaces and resists washout even under severe moisture exposure. These properties make it particularly well suited for applications in wet or corrosive environments.
A Wide Operating Temperature Range Ensures Reliable Performance Under Extreme Conditions
With a service temperature range from -30 °C to +540 °C, MOLYKOTE® P-3300 is suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications. Its solid lubricant system remains stable at temperatures of up to 1,350 °C, providing reliable protection against seizure and wear even under extreme thermal loads.
PFAS-Free Formulation Supports Compliance with Future Regulatory Requirements
In addition to its outstanding technical performance, MOLYKOTE® P-3300 also meets today’s environmental and occupational safety expectations. The formulation contains no intentionally added polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), no other per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and no intentionally added calcium compounds. Furthermore, its low-hazard formulation supports safe handling while helping manufacturers prepare for future regulatory requirements.
Designed for Automated Dispensing Systems to Improve Process Efficiency
MOLYKOTE® P-3300 has been developed for efficient application in both manual and automated production environments. The paste is suitable for modern dispensing technologies such as pulsed and spray application, enabling uniform and repeatable lubrication in automated manufacturing processes.
A Modern Anti-Seize Paste for the Highest Demands in Mechanical Engineering
MOLYKOTE® P-3300 provides design engineers, maintenance professionals and manufacturers with a high-performance anti-seize paste that combines repeatable assembly results, reliable corrosion protection and outstanding temperature resistance. Its PFAS-free formulation and compatibility with automated dispensing systems make it a future-proof solution for demanding industrial threaded connections.
