Dicronite® dry lubrication overview

Dicronite dry lubrication is a precision thin film (maximum 0.5 micron thickness) lubricant widely used in space, aerospace, plastics, semiconductor and mechanical applications. Dicronite dry lubrication reduces friction, heat and wear with a very low coefficient of friction (0.0.30) over a wide temperature range (+538C to -188C) on all metallic substrates. Dicronite dry lubrication is applied at near ambient temperatures and does not flake or chip off. Dicronite dry lubrication does not utilize carriers or binders and is environmentally friendly. Meeting Military Specification DOD-L-85645 and biocompatibility specification ISO-10993, Dicronite dry lubrication is well proven. Dicronite dry lubrication reduces friction and wear in the Mars Explorer Rover and United States Space Shuttle due to it’s low outgassing in high temperature and hard vacuum conditions. Dicronite dry lubrication is also widely used in the military and commercial aircraft on fasteners, couplings, bushings, bearings and spools. The plastics industry relies on Dicronite dry lubrication for mold release and to reduce friction, heat and wear on mold components and ejector pins. The plastics industry values the thin film thickness, non contaminating, and wide functional temperature range of Dicronite dry lubrication. The semiconductor equipment industry utilizes Dicronite dry lubrication to address challenging issues in precision tolerances and vacuum operating conditions under cleanroom environments. Dicronite dry lubrication is utilized to reduce friction, heat and wear in high technology equipment. Dicronite dry lubrication is widely used to reduce friction, heat and wear in roller and linear bearings, gears, roller screws, splines, valves, sleeves and rings in various types of mechanical equipment. Dicronite dry lubrication is also used as co-lubricant with traditional oils and greases.
