MOLYKOTE® HP-300 Grease for Hydrogen: The key to efficiency and safety for the energy transition.

MOLYKOTE® HP-300 Grease, a proven reference for applications utilizing hydrogen to ensure functionality, even after prolonged exposure.

Hydrogen, a promising fuel for the future, is expected to play a crucial role in energy transition. Green hydrogen production from water through renewable energy provides a zero-emission solution, making hydrogen a significant contribution to climate goals. Throughout the hydrogen value chain, many applications are exposed to hydrogen, requiring proper lubrication to ensure long-term functionality.

Lubricants used in these applications must not only resist hydrogen but also avoid any contamination, especially in fuel cells. Additionally, they must maintain performance at low temperatures (-40°C), considering the cooling process before hydrogen distribution at fueling stations. Furthermore, these lubricants must be compatible with substrates, such as elastomer seals, and not promote hydrogen embrittlement.

This is where MOLYKOTE® HP-300 Grease comes into play, meeting these requirements perfectly and being widely adopted in various industries, including automotive and railways.

MOLYKOTE® HP-300, specialized lubricants, ensure the functionality of hydrogen-exposed applications.

MOLYKOTE® HP-300 Grease contributes to the safety of hydrogen filling stations by enabling proper detachment in case of emergencies. This lubricant is also ideal for lubricating valve seals along hydrogen pipes, as its lubricating capacity and hydrogen inertness reduce the risk of leaks due to manufacturing or assembly errors.

Moreover, using MOLYKOTE® HP-300 Grease for gearbox lubrication enhances the durability of electronic valve actuators.
