Molykote D-6818 Anti-Friction Coating

A sprayable anti-friction coating with excellent wearing resistance to withstand extremely high loading pressure under low viscosity oil condition.

Features & benefits

• Suitable for spray coating

Applications

For metal/metal combinations involving slow to medium speeds and low to medium loads. Suitable for lubrication of heavily loaded friction contacts involving low to high speeds, in direct contact with motor oils, gasoline, diesel or grease. Used in automotive or industrial applications like metal parts for engine bearing, plain bearing, washer, etc.

Composition

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

Available pack sizes

• 1.1 kg can - 10 per carton

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.
