I've picked up a near-free 100g tube of Molykote 55, thinking I could use it in the future for my ECM Classica, when the time comes (as well as a Fluval Aquarium filter o-ring).
Despite reading the data sheets etc. I'm not quite sure whether I should go and get a tube of Molykote 111 instead?
It seems that Moly 111 is better suited, but given the application, is Moly 55 really going to be harmful in some way? I have noticed that both products are available from coffee equipment suppliers - including some site sponsors.
Moly 55 - 175C temp, Silicone oil, Ester, Lithium Soap
Moly 111 - 200C temp, Inorganic thickener, Meets several global standards forwater contact

) Ester is also slightly water soluble, so it may taint the water.
