  • Compatible Cleaning Solvent
  • Defined Range of Molykote Coatings

Product Description

MOLYKOTE® L-13 Thinner is a transparent, solvent-based thinner used to adjust the application viscosity of selected solvent-based MOLYKOTE® Anti-Friction Coatings. It can also be used as a cleaning solvent for application tools and equipment associated with the specified compatible coatings. The product supports coating preparation and cleanup for several MOLYKOTE® formulations, including D-321 R, D-3484, 3400A, 3402-C, 106, PTFE-N UV, D-708, D-7080, and 7534. Addition level and mixing procedure should be determined from the instructions for the specific coating being applied.

Key features

  • Viscosity adjustment: Used to modify the application viscosity of selected solvent-based MOLYKOTE® Anti-Friction Coatings.
  • Cleaning capability: Suitable for cleaning tools and equipment used with the specified compatible coatings.
  • Transparent appearance: Supplied as a transparent solvent-based liquid.
  • Defined coating compatibility: Intended for use with specific MOLYKOTE® Anti-Friction Coating products.
  • Formulation statement: Contains no intentionally added PTFE or PFAS.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Diluting specified solvent-based MOLYKOTE® Anti-Friction Coatings
  • Adjusting coating viscosity for the intended application method
  • Cleaning coating-application tools and equipment
  • Use with compatible products such as MOLYKOTE® D-321 R, D-3484, 3400A, 3402-C, 106, PTFE-N UV, D-708, D-7080, and 7534 Anti-Friction Coatings

Diluting and cleaning solvent; not an in-service lubricant
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
