ROCOL Dry Moly Spray 400ml (Model 10025)

1. Product Overview

The ROCOL Dry Moly Spray is an aerosol-applied, thin, dry film lubricant formulated with resin-bonded Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2). This product is designed to withstand high loads and temperatures, providing effective lubrication without attracting dirt and dust. It is suitable for use as a dry film lubricant on various components and as an anti-seize compound for precision threaded assemblies.

An orange aerosol can with a yellow cap. The label reads 'ROCOL DRY MOLY Spray Extreme load dry film lubricant' and 'ANTI-SEIZE & ASSEMBLY'. This image illustrates the product packaging.

2. Safety Information

Always read the product label and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before use. Observe all local regulations concerning the storage, handling, and disposal of aerosol products.

• Flammable: Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. No smoking.
• Pressurized Container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use.
• Ventilation: Use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing spray mist.
• Eye Contact: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
• Skin Contact: Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight and away from children. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F).

3. Setup and Preparation

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, and other contaminants. Degreasing agents may be used if necessary, followed by thorough drying.
2. Shake Can: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball is heard. This ensures proper dispersion of the Molybdenum Disulfide particles.
3. Test Spray: Before applying to the intended surface, perform a short test spray on an inconspicuous area to ensure proper function and spray pattern.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective application of ROCOL Dry Moly Spray:

1. Hold Can: Hold the aerosol can approximately 15-25 cm (6-10 inches) from the surface.
2. Apply Evenly: Apply a thin, even coat to the desired area. Avoid over-application, as a thin film is sufficient for effective lubrication.
3. Drying Time: Allow the applied film to dry completely. Drying time may vary depending on ambient temperature and humidity, typically ranging from 15-30 minutes. The film will appear dry to the touch when ready.
4. Re-application: For applications requiring continuous lubrication or in high-wear environments, periodic re-application may be necessary.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of the product and its application:

• Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle becomes blocked, invert the can and spray briefly until only propellant emerges. If blockage persists, remove the nozzle and clean it with a suitable solvent.
• Storage: Store the can upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Ensure the cap is securely fitted.
• Disposal: Dispose of empty cans and any unused product according to local environmental regulations. Do not puncture or incinerate.

6. Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions:

• Poor Coverage/Uneven Spray:
  • Ensure the can is shaken vigorously before and during use.
  • Check for nozzle blockage and clean if necessary (refer to Maintenance section).
  • Ensure the can is held at the recommended distance from the surface.
• Film Not Drying:
  • Verify that the surface was clean and dry before application. Contaminants can interfere with drying.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation in the application area.
  • Avoid applying excessively thick coats. A thin, even layer is most effective.
• Reduced Lubrication Performance:
  • Re-evaluate the application frequency for the specific operating conditions.
  • Ensure the product is suitable for the extreme load and temperature conditions.
  • Check for surface contamination that might be degrading the lubricant film.
