Using Dry Film Lubricants instead of Liquid Lubricants

Dry film lubricants are used in arduous applications where the use of liquid lubricants (oils, greases etc) has proven unsuccessful.

Liquid lubricants perform well in specified conditions when there are sufficient quantities of lubricant present at all times. Liquid lubricants fail due to migration, excessive loads, excessive temperature or neglecting servicing etc. Dry film bonded lubricants remain in place and are effective in extreme and adverse conditions.

What are Dry Film Lubricants?

Dry film lubricants are based on molybdenum disulphide, graphite, fluorocarbons and fluoropolymers combined with high performance resins and binders which are tailored to suit a wide range of performance requirements.

Molybdenum disulphide based coatings are used for friction reduction and control particularly where high loads and low speed are a factor. The reduction in friction and consistency of lubrication improves resistance to wear that naturally results from two surfaces moving in contact with one another.

We are approved applicators for the following coatings:

Acheson Molydag®   Dow Corning Molykote®  Everslik®  
Everlube®  Klubertop®
