Dry Film Lubricant

APPLICATION

• Pre-treatment for assembly and running in.
• Lubrication of gears, splined shafts, pivot pins, cams, pistons, screw jacks, toggle joints, coil mechanisms, stainless steel threaded fasteners and hinges.
• Press fitting lubricant for bushes, liners and shafts.
• Dry Lubricant for extrusion of aluminium sections.
• Long life service lubricant for textile and vending machines, computers, business machines, tumbler locks and instruments. In many cases it provides lifetime lubrication for the mechanisms.
• Antiseize for stainless steel threaded fasteners.

BENEFITS

• Requires little or no surface treatment.
• Fast room temperature cure without need for baking or sintering.
• Easy application by brush, spray or dip.
• Excellent adhesion to most substrates especially metals.
• Low coefficient of friction.
• Prevents stick slip
• Halts fretting corrosion on both dynamic and static applications
• High load carrying capacity
• Thin films of 5 microns to 15microns may be used alone or to reinforce oil, or grease lubrication systems.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

• Lubricant: Molybdenum Disulphide
• Binder: Thermoplastic resin
• Typical Coverage: 12 sq M per Kg @ 10 microns coating
• Maximum Service Temp: Continuous: 340oC after run in. Intermittent: 400 oC after run in Fuel and Oil resistance: Good

METHOD OF USE

SURFACE PREPARATION: Substrates must be clean and dry. A solvent wipe or vapour degreasing followed by air drying is usually sufficient. Grit blasting phosphating or chemical etching improves adhesion and wear properties.

MIXING AND DILUTION: Stir the concentrate thoroughly before dilution. The dilution ratio and diluent for each application should be determined by small scale testing. Specific recommendations will be provided upon request.

APPLICATION: Application by spray gun using an externally atomizing spray gun with a nozzle diameter of 0.8 to 1.5 micron and air pressure of 2-3 bar. Brushing, dipping or aerosol are alternative methods of application.

CURING: Coatings air dry in 5-10 minutes depending on the type of diluent used. Maximum coating hardness is achieved after approximately 4 hours at room temperature. Alternatively curing can be accelerated by simply warming or blowing air upon cooled pieces or heating the components to temperature between 80 oC and 100 oC for 10 minutes
