About this type of lubricant

An anti-friction coating is a bonded dry film: solid lubricant particles held in a resin binder, applied like a paint and then cured, air-dried or heat-cured. Once cured it is a permanent dry lubricating layer, typically 5-20 µm thick, that does not attract dust, does not migrate and does not need re-application.

How to choose

Choose a coating where oil or grease cannot be used or cannot be maintained: dusty and abrasive environments, clean assemblies, sealed-for-life mechanisms, plastic-on-metal contact, and points that are inaccessible after assembly. Surface preparation determines whether the coating lasts at all — the substrate must be clean and, for heat-cured grades, correctly pretreated. Check the cure temperature against what the component can survive before specifying; air-cured grades exist precisely for parts that cannot be baked.

How to order

Specify the pack size and, where more than one grade shares a name, the exact grade on the RFQ. Indus Hydraulics is an authorised distributor and quotes MOLYKOTE® from Dubai stock where the grade is held; less common grades ship to order. Our engineers will confirm the grade against your application and operating conditions before you commit.
