LPS Force 842 Dry Moly Lubricant, 11 oz
LPS
Description
LPS Force 842 Dry Moly Lubricant, 02516 is an extreme-conditions dry film lubricant fortified with molybdenumdisulfide. It provides a quick-drying, thin lubricating film that protects against surface-to-surface friction, helps prevent seizure, and resists dust and dirt.
Force 842 is designed for high-temperature and high-pressure applications, operating at temperatures up to 842°F (450°C) and pressures up to 100,000 psi (6,890 bar). Manufacturer-listed applications include aircraft landing gear, brake adjustment screws, forklift channels, oven chains and cables, fire doors and overhead crane rails.
Part number 02516 is supplied as an 11 wt oz (312 g) aerosol.
