I watched a webinar on Molykote's new dry lubricant yesterday. It's quite an advance. Although it's oriented towards production applications, it may be of interest to some members here. I was interested in the possible applications for Stirling engines, which have a real problem with liquid lubricants.

That's old Molykote, which has been around for years. The new product is the same company but it's much, much tougher and longer lasting.

So they tell us. But these are the Molykote folks. They probably know what they're doing.

As I mentioned, the product is made mostly for production applications. When I want something like that, I call the company and ask for a sample, as I did a few years ago with dry anti-rust coatings, and a few years before that with a new synthetic oil. I usually get a lifetime supply. g

Good luck. I can't help by telling them I'm a manufacturing magazine editor thinking about writing a story anymore, or I'd see what I could do for you..

Aren't you a ex-magazine editor, now a Web publishing freelancer
looking at writing an article on some of the latest lubricants your
followers may be interested in...

Dead tree magazines are so 20th century now ;-)

I don't remember the specific brands, but, in general, they were good if nothing touched them. g

I wasn't impressed.
