    New Molykote G-3407


    Caliper Pin Grease
    Reduce fretting corrosion and wear on caliper guide pins at high brake temperatures

    Customer: Tier 1 supplier manufacturing


    disc brakes for a global OEM small-car
    platform.
    Problem: Excessive corrosion and wear
    of caliper pins in vehicle durability testing
    is traced to improper metal-to-metal
    lubrication using a silicone grease with
    PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) from a
    Dow Corning competitor.
    Solution: Dow Corning application
    engineering developed a new hightemperature PAG (polyalkylene glycol)
    grease. Tests proved superior corrosion
    and wear performance over the previous
    lubricant.
    Product: Molykote G-3407 Caliper Pin
    Grease is OEM-approved and specified
    as the caliper-pin lubricant for the highvolume global vehicle program.

    Todays automotive braking systems are precisely matched to each vehicle application.
    Disc brake calipers are integrated and work in harmony with other brake-system
    components to:
    Optimize pedal feel and braking performance
    Limit abnormal pad and rotor wear
    Control NVH (noise, vibration, harshness)
    Prevent brake sticking or unbalanced
    application
    Each caliper has two guide pins in a
    slide mechanism that applies and releases
    the brake pads. Durable caliper-pin
    lubrication helps reduce or eliminate
    these potential problems:
    Fretting corrosion and possible
    sticking, binding or grabbing
    Excessive pin wear and resulting
    noise and operation issues
    High-temperature seizure and loss
    of braking power

    Fretting Corrosion

    Excessive fretting corrosion and wear on


    caliper guide pins can result from using the
    improper guide pin lubricant.

    Caliper-pin fretting tests showed that Molykote


    G-3407 Caliper Pin Grease maintained lower
    frictional force than either a silicone with PTFE
    or a silicone with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2).

    Molykote G-3407 Caliper Pin Grease is especially formulated for durable metal/metal
    lubrication. This PAG-based grease can help reduce fretting corrosion and wear on
    caliper guide pins exposed to high braking temperatures. It offers disc-brake designers
    these proven advantages:
    Enhanced thermal stability at high temperatures
    Wide service temperature range, from -40 to 200C (-40 to 392F)
    Good corrosion resistance
    Excellent anti-fretting performance
    Enhanced elastomer compatibility at 150C (302F)
    OEM-specified for global vehicle platform
    Molykote G-3407 Caliper Pin Grease maintains low frictional force between the
    caliper pin and its bore in the anchor bracket. Very quick micro-sliding movements
    are prevented from causing fretting corrosion and excessive wear. It also is an
    effective lubricant for caliper pins with elastomeric boots or sleeves.
