MOLYKOTE® is DuPont’s premium specialty lubricant brand with more than 75 years of proven experience in demanding industrial and automotive applications. The product portfolio includes performance greases, oils, anti-friction coatings, dispersions, and specialty compounds designed to improve reliability, efficiency, and durability under severe operating conditions. MOLYKOTE greases are formulated using high-performance base oils, advanced thickeners, and proprietary additive technologies to deliver outstanding friction reduction, wear protection, corrosion resistance, and long service life. These products are engineered to perform across a wide range of operating environments, including high and low temperatures, high loads, oscillating motion, and extended maintenance intervals. In the automotive industry, MOLYKOTE solutions are widely used in electric power steering (EPS), rear wheel steering (RWS), electro-mechanical braking (EMB), e-drive systems, gearboxes, actuators, bearings, chassis components, connectors, and sealing systems. The products help OEMs and Tier suppliers address critical performance requirements such as low friction, durability, noise and vibration reduction, wide-temperature functionality, material compatibility, and long-term reliability. Key technical advantages include: Wide operating temperature capability, typically from -50°C to above 180°C depending on the formulation. Excellent wear protection and load-carrying performance for metal-to-metal and mixed-material contact surfaces. Low friction characteristics that improve system efficiency and reduce power consumption. Strong resistance to oxidation, water washout, and harsh environmental conditions. Compatibility with engineering plastics, elastomers, and advanced automotive materials. Long service life supporting maintenance-free or lifetime lubrication strategies. MOLYKOTE is trusted by leading global automotive manufacturers and Tier suppliers for both conventional and next-generation mobility applications. Supported by DuPont’s global R&D resources, application laboratories, and regional technical teams, MOLYKOTE provides customers with comprehensive lubrication solutions from product selection and testing to validation and production implementation. By combining proven performance, innovation, and technical expertise, MOLYKOTE helps customers improve component reliability, extend equipment life, and accelerate the development of advanced automotive technologies including electric vehicles, intelligent chassis systems, and autonomous driving platforms.

MOLYKOTE® Anti-Friction Coatings (AFC) are advanced dry-film lubrication solutions designed to provide long-lasting friction reduction, wear protection, noise reduction, and enhanced durability for demanding automotive and industrial applications. Unlike conventional greases and oils, AFC technologies create a thin, uniform, and permanently bonded lubricating layer on component surfaces, enabling reliable performance throughout the product lifecycle. MOLYKOTE AFC coatings are formulated using specialized binder systems combined with high-performance solid lubricants, delivering excellent tribological performance under conditions where traditional lubricants may be difficult to apply, migrate away from the contact area, or fail due to severe operating environments. Typical coating thickness ranges from 5 to 30 microns, allowing precise lubrication control without affecting component tolerances. These coatings offer several key benefits: Consistent low-friction performance throughout component life. Excellent wear resistance for sliding, rotating, and oscillating contacts. Reduced stick-slip behavior and improved NVH performance. Enhanced corrosion protection and environmental resistance. Elimination of lubricant migration and contamination risks. Support for maintenance-free and lifetime-lubricated designs. Compatibility with automated high-volume manufacturing processes. In the automotive industry, MOLYKOTE AFC solutions are widely used in intelligent chassis systems, electric drive units, braking components, steering systems, connectors, locking mechanisms, actuators, seat systems, and various metal-to-metal or metal-to-plastic interfaces. The technology is particularly valuable for next-generation applications such as steer-by-wire (SBW), electro-mechanical brake (EMB), rear wheel steering (RWS), e-axles, and advanced motion control systems where durability, precision, and reliability are critical. As vehicle electrification and intelligent mobility continue to evolve, OEMs and Tier suppliers are increasingly seeking lubrication solutions that support higher efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements, and improved sustainability. MOLYKOTE AFC addresses these challenges by minimizing friction losses, extending component life, reducing noise, and enabling lightweight, compact mechanical designs. Backed by DuPont’s global materials expertise, advanced application laboratories, and local technical support teams, MOLYKOTE AFC provides customers with a complete solution from material selection and coating development to process optimization and production implementation, helping accelerate innovation in modern mobility systems.
