Molykote D-3484 Anti-Friction Coating

Heat-hardening anti-friction coating

Features & benefits

• Combines excellent lubricating effect with good corrosion protection

Applications

Sliding coating for metal/metal combinations with slow to moderately fast movements and moderate to high loads. Suitable for the permanent lubrication of friction pairs with high compressive stress and low speeds and also where – for technical reasons or because the risk of soiling is unacceptable – oil or Grease cannot be used. Used successfully for pawls of safety cutouts, carburetor springs, lorry coupling sleeves, toothed gears, and parts of car safety belts and car-boot lock parts. Bolts and levers in tractors and construction machines.

Composition

• Technology: Organic Binder, Solids, Solvent
• Solid lubricants: MoS2, graphite

Available pack sizes

• 500 g can - 10 per carton
• 5 kg pail

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.
