Overview
Unique finishes engineered to provide exceptional dry lubrication, and often serve as a more robust product alternative to traditional lubricants and anti-seizing agents such as superficial oils. Depending on your application requirements or desired military or industry specification, dry/solid film lubricants provide benefits by protecting tooling from galling, resist seizure, fretting or corrosion, for a variety of extreme conditions.
Dry film lubricants can be utilized in applications with extreme temperature ranges (from sub-zero to 1200° F) and resist out-gassing under vacuum for use in the aerospace and military industries. We offer a range of these thin film coatings to satisfy your application requirements.
