Slickote® Solid Film Lubricants

Apply iaw Solid Film Lubricant, Mil-L-46010E Ty  I

Slickote Dry Lube100 is a heat cured, resin bonded solid film lubricant coating to be applied iaw Mil-L-46010E type I.

To reduce wear and prevent galling, corrosion and seizure of metals.

Where conventional lubricants are difficult to apply or retain, or where other lubricants may be easily contaminated with dirt and dust.

For sliding motion applications such as plain and spherical bearings, flap tracks, hinges, threads and cam surfaces.

Where temperature ranges are from -68 deg C to 204 deg C, intermittent exposure to 260 deg C

When mechanisms are operated at infrequent intervals or are lubricated for life.

Where long term corrosion protection is required under static conditions.

Where solvent resistance is required

Where extremely heavy loaded lubrication is required including initial start up of heavy loaded mechanisms designed for fluid lubrication.

As a touch up to worn surfaces previously coated with solid film lubrication
