Molykote Valve Lubricant and Sealant 5.3 oz. Tube

Perfect for gaskets.

Excellent stuff. Just a tiny drop is enough to keep my cams and lever nice and lubricated. Food safe, heat tolerant, and nice and slippery. Works well for ball-and-socket joints, too, like steam wands, etc. if they get old and sticky.

great for lubricating a zacconi espresso machine

Worked great on my ECM Synchronika. For my machine, this is how I applied. 1. set brew lever at midway point between on and off 2. unscrew the screw at the end of brew lever and be careful with lock washer that is hiding inside 3. unscrew the outer piece that sits around the cam making sure to work on the nut closest to brew group head 4. pull out the cam, lube with molykote 111 taking care in particular with the wear points. 5) This is where my machine differed with what I saw online. The videos I saw were able to put the cam right back in but I could not get the cam in the original position it was in. So: unscrew lower portion of brew group head and let it drop all the way down 5. insert cam into position 6. push up from bottom of lower group piece and screw back in making sure cam stays in position 7. lube the entire cam arm with a tiny bit of molykote

Dow Corning 111, now packaged and marketed as MolyKote 111, is a product with many uses. Whether you want to use it as lubricatant, or make sure that nut / bolt comes off easily the next time you access it, or even make sure your O-Rings stay lubricated and not dry out... this is a good solution. You can also use this on your air guns (if you have any) - anywhere there is metal to metal contact that you want to operate smoothly with as little friction as possible to prevent wear. My most recent use was to lubricate the rubber / silicone seals and other moving parts on my manual lever espresso machine. I also put it on the nut and bolt combinations in the machine to make them come apart more readily; this will make sure they don't "freeze up". Note this is also "Food Grade" so using it on kitchen appliances to keep them lubed up is also possible. I also use this on the valve stems / caps on my bike tires which have a tendency to freeze up and lock on. This keeps the stem moist, and makes the cap come off with a simple turn. Realize this product used to be packaged / sold as Dow Corning 111, and came in a dark green tube. Now, Dow has changed the name and markets and sells this as Molykote 111 with different color packaging. It is the same product - they used to sell MolyKote 111 to the European market, and Dow 111 to the US market - but they were always essentially the same product. Thanks for reading... UPDATE Jan 2016: The uses for this product seem to grow by the day. I bought one of these tubes thinking I had a "lifetime" supply, but the tube is half gone at this point. Recently, I did a brake job on my Chevy Suburban and Silverado, and the brake caliper pins require silicone grease for lube - turns out Molykote 111 is ideal for this application, and even recommended. Next, I changed the rubber suspension bushings from rubber to polyurethane on three of my vehicles, and changed out the stabilizer links for rubber to poly bushings also. When changing over to poly bushings, if you put them in dry, them metal to poly contact will "squeak, squeak" inevitably.... so the recommendation is to grease the contact points. Many of the auto shops use standard grease to do this, the problem is standard grease dries up over time and becomes hardened in this application - this is where Molykote 111 comes in. It is perfect of lubing up the poly bushings and giving the metal to poly contact points a nice, slick and lubricated surface.... Just a couple more uses for Molykote 111...

I researched a lot of lubricants for my water catchment system. Use this on the seals of my filters. It worked great and this time using this, no cracking sounds when I screwed it back together. Just slid and tightened easily with no leaks. Will last me a long time, only takes a tiny bit on seals. I would recommend.

Have bought atleast 5 dozen over years. Tubes come in random shades of seafoam color and random openings and caps. Not picture shown. I can't complain about actual lube, mostly same consistency. Packaging and tube should be identical

So I am a SCUBA diver and of the opinion that if I can rebuild an engine or a hydraulic pump and cylinder why not use my skills to rebuild my own equipment. I am also a geek and work on computers and electronic projects so am very meticulous to the point where I probably do better work than most shops. So far I have used this on a Scubapro MK5 from the 1970's along with a 109 from the same era. As well as a MK20 and a G250 while also lubing my Gen 4 Air2. It has worked great and have no issues with things staying in working condition. I actually ended up helping to save a guy's dive when his inflator was acting up, just put some of the lube into the input line and then applied pressure. The lube was able to work in and get things freed up fairly fast and then by the end of the dive it was working like new. Some manufacturer's recommend Christo-Lube but they are so similar that it's not a huge deal and it seems Molykote is available in larger sizes more readily for less money. Doing the math says what I need to know there and this is rated up to 40% O2 as well so should work just fine as a replacement.

Dny buy very bad products

I bought this for my hubby to repair a squeaking lever on our coffee machine. It works brilliantly! He spent an hour or so pulling the lever apart and putting the Molykote on it and no my squeak! I'm super happy about that.

I used this on my lever espresso machine inside the piston and it works perfectly. The piston moves up and down smoothly, and the sealant doesn't impart any kind of taste into the coffee. I routinely clean and lube my machine every 3 months and this is a must-have when doing regular maintenance. You only need a small amount of this to be effective, so a tube should last many years. Highly recommended if you have a lever espresso machine where you need a food-safe lubricant that can withstand high heat.

Best grease for valves water etc. mix with moly powder if load bearing required. Been using since 1970 originally Dow Corning. big range of specialty lubricants. Dry and wet.
