Dry / Solid Film Lubricants
Dry film lubricants are an attractive alternative to fluid lubricants for minimizing friction and preventing seizing and galling, especially in high or low temperature environments where fluids may freeze or vaporize. Metal Coatings Corp offers a wide range of lubricant coating options, protecting items from the smallest fasteners to massive industrial components that require a coating to reduce friction. Our solid film lubricant coating operation focuses on three types of lubricating materials For help in choosing the best option from the coatings below, click Contact Us to discuss your coating application with a coating professional.
- Fluoropolymer coatings are superior dry film lubricants that produce a smooth, hard and slick finish. These coatings are applied using a one coat system that fuses the coating to the substrate for remarkable adhesion. In addition to very low coefficients of friction, fluoropolymers offer exceptional resistance to heat, cold, corrosion and chemical infiltration.
- Xylan is a combination of low-friction fluoropolymer compounds in a matrix of strong, stabile organic polymers. This fluoropolymer coating exhibits excellent surface wear characteristics along with the resistance to friction, heat, cold, corrosion and chemicals.
- Molybdenum Disulfide provides friction protection in high load bearing applications. The surface of a coated item can maintain lubricant qualities up to 250,000 psi. Most MoS2 coatings include additional high-performance resins to enhance bonding to the base metal of the coated part
