Molykote D-10-GBL Anti-Friction Coating

A heat cured anti-friction coating filled with graphite.

Features & benefits

• Excellent resistance to oil, Grease, gasoline, diesel and solvents

Applications

For metal/metal combinations involving slow to medium speeds and low to medium loads. Suitable for the permanent lubrication of heavily loaded friction contacts involving low to high speeds, in direct contact with motor oils, gasoline, diesel or Grease. Used in automotive applications like pistons of internal gasoline and diesel combustion engines, compressors and piston pumps, pneumatic and hydraulic systems; and other applications that require help to reduce piston and cylinder wall wear during break-in, cold-start and ongoing operation situations.

Composition

• Technology: Organic Binder, Solids, Solvent
• Solid lubricants: Graphite

Available pack sizes

• 5 kg pail
• 1KG-CAN-10CTN

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.
