Cutting the Friction, Improving Performance

Dry film lubricants offer protection and better for parts used in extreme environmental conditions, often with high or low temperatures when liquids, oils, or grease can’t be used. The material prevents seizing and galling.

Benefits of Dry Film Lube

Effective moisture barrier
Unaffected by heat or cold
Appropriate for many materials – metal, plastics, and wood
Resistant to solvents
Simplifies lubricating inaccessible parts
Supports parts requiring frequent removal
Provides long-term protection

If it Slides, Turns, Moves, Connects

Many industries rely on dry film lube, also known as dry lubes or solid film lube, because of the coating’s effectiveness and versatile applications. We use various formulations to meet customer specifications for optimum performance.

FAQs

Dry film lube, also called dry lubes or solid film lube, is a coating that replaces the need for liquid, oils or grease lubrication, especially for parts used in extreme environmental conditions to prevent galling or seizing.

As a versatile coating, dry lube has many applications. Beyond reducing friction on moving parts, solid film lube, as it is also called, protects hydraulic assemblies, improves mold release, and treats fasteners, cables, and couplings for better operation.

Coating thickness of dry film lube varies depending on the intended result. Generally the coating is 0.1 – 0.2 mils.
