Molytec Range — Quick Reference by Product Type
Molytec is the Australian industrial lubricant + chemical brand — anti-seize compounds, marine thread lubricants, multipurpose aerosols, food-grade silicones and zinc coatings. Formulated for mining, heavy manufacturing and process industries. Selection turns on the application environment (high-temp, marine, food-safe, electrical).

Q: What is Molytec?
Molytec is an Australian-owned lubricant manufacturer specialising in moly-fortified industrial greases, anti-seize compounds, and dry-film lubricants — similar product positioning to Molybond. Both brands serve the same Australian moly-grease market with overlapping product lines. Molytec products are stocked alongside Molybond at AIMS for workshop and industrial moly-lubrication applications. Both are Australian-made with technical support and parts compatible with industrial grease guns.
Q: Molytec vs Molybond — what's the difference?
Both are Australian moly-grease specialists with very similar product ranges. Choice often comes down to: customer preference, existing equipment compatibility (some workshops standardise on one), pricing at time of purchase, and stock availability. For practical workshop use, the two brands are interchangeable in most applications. AIMS stocks both — call us for current stock and pricing comparison.
Q: When do I need moly grease over standard grease?
Heavy load, slow speed: kingpin bushings, suspension pivot points, machinery articulating joints. Moly forms a sliding film that protects when speed is too low for normal hydrodynamic grease films. Shock load: equipment subject to impact (mining pivots, forging machinery). High pressure: bearings under static or near-static load. NOT for high-speed bearings — moly's solid particles cause friction at high speeds. Match grease to the actual operating conditions, not generic 'heavy duty' assumptions.
Q: Molytec anti-seize — silver, copper, or nickel?
Copper anti-seize: classic workshop standard, conducts heat well, suitable up to about 1100°C. NOT for use on stainless steel or aluminium (galvanic corrosion risk). Nickel anti-seize: works on stainless steel, higher temperature capability (~1400°C). Silver anti-seize: top tier — works on all materials including stainless and aluminium, highest temperature. Aluminium anti-seize: thermal-conductivity formulation. For exhaust manifolds: copper. For stainless: nickel or silver. For mixed-material assemblies: silver.
Q: How often do I need to regrease moly applications?
Depends on the application duty cycle and exposure. Light-duty workshop pivots: every 6-12 months. Heavy industrial articulating joints: every 100-500 operating hours depending on load and contamination. Wash-down environments (food, mining): more frequent regreasing as wash-down displaces grease. Visible signs of regrease needed: grease coming out is dry/dark/contaminated, mechanism shows resistance, audible squeaking. When in doubt, regrease — over-greasing washes contaminants out.
