FAQs
Is this product safe for use in commercial kitchens?
Yes, the MOLYSLIP MSS Specialist Silicone Spray Lubricant is NSF H1 certified, meaning it is approved for incidental food contact and is safe for use in food processing and preparation environments.
What is the operating temperature range for this silicone spray?
The spray maintains its performance effectively across a wide temperature range, from -50°C to +200°C (-58°F to +392°F).
Can I use this on metal-on-metal applications?
While it provides lubrication, it is optimized for plastics, rubbers, and resins as a release agent and anti-stick lubricant. For heavy-duty metal-on-metal applications, a dedicated industrial grease might be more suitable. However, it can be used on metal parts for hinges and slides.
How long does the lubricating film last?
The duration of the lubricating film depends on the application, environmental conditions, and frequency of use. It is designed to create a long-lasting protective layer that reduces wear.
Does this product leave a greasy residue?
No, it creates a light, non-stick gloss finish that is designed to resist dirt and grime rather than attracting it. It provides a dry lubrication effect.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the product typically has a shelf life of several years. Refer to the can for specific batch information.
Can this be used as a general-purpose lubricant for household items?
While it is a multi-purpose lubricant, its specialized NSF H1 food-grade nature and fine spray make it ideal for precision applications. For general household needs, other lubricants might be more cost-effective, but it can certainly be used effectively.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is blocked or not dispensing.
Ensure the can was shaken sufficiently before use. Turn the nozzle 180 degrees and try again. If blockage persists, remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water or a mild solvent, then dry thoroughly before reattaching.
Uneven spray pattern or streaking.
Ensure the can is held at the correct distance (15-30 cm) and moved in a steady, sweeping motion. Check that the nozzle is not clogged. Apply a second light coat after the first has dried if necessary.
Product does not appear to be releasing effectively.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and clean before application. Reapply a second, slightly heavier coat and allow it to cure fully. Verify that the temperature is within the effective range of -50°C to +200°C.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Food-grade and non-toxic, suitable for sensitive environments.
- Wide temperature range ensures performance in diverse conditions.
- Excellent anti-stick and release properties for molding applications.
- Provides a durable, protective lubricating film.
- Resistant to water and chemicals.
Cons
- Specialized product, may not be suitable for all general lubrication needs.
- Requires proper ventilation during application due to aerosol format.
- Effectiveness on certain heavy-duty industrial applications may vary compared to heavy greases.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from grease or oil.
- Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute before use.
- Hold the can approximately 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) from the surface.
- Apply a thin, even coat using the controlled fine spray nozzle. For intricate tooling, position the nozzle closer for precision.
- Allow the spray to dry completely before operating machinery or bringing surfaces into contact. Drying time varies with temperature and humidity.
Compatibility:
- Materials: Suitable for use on plastics, rubbers, and resins. It provides a non-stick gloss finish.
- Environments: Ideal for food, medical, and pharmaceutical industries due to its NSF H1 certification. Also suitable for general industrial applications requiring a temperature-stable, water, and chemical-resistant lubricant.
- Avoid: Not recommended for use on surfaces where paint adhesion is critical or on electrical contacts under load.
Care:
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep the can upright.
- Cleaning: If residue builds up on application equipment or treated surfaces, it can typically be wiped away with a clean cloth. For stubborn residue, a mild solvent may be used, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Maintenance: Reapply as needed, depending on the frequency of use and environmental conditions. For best results, ensure surfaces remain clean before reapplication.
