Lubricants & Torque modifiers
These coatings are often more economical than the resin bonded dry film lubricants and can be applied to a large number of standard finishes. Typical lubricants/waxes that can be applied are:
• Rustarest - Oil
• Gleitmo
• Torque N Tension 11 or 15
• A3 Wax
• Wax 47/60
In a number of cases, A3 wax has been used to give the lubricity performance of cadmium under high pressure applications. Also similar waxes have been used to ensure that self drilling screws can give their desired performance. In some instances, e.g. to dampen noise when inserting certain types of thread locking screw, the wax can be applied only to a portion of the thread of a fastener.
Dry Film Lubricants
Dry film lubricants usually consist of a resin, used to bond a dry lubricant on to the surface of a component. The lubricants used are, in the main, P.T.F.E., Molybdenum Disulphide or Graphite, either individually or combined, to impart any of the following attributes.
• Low coefficients of friction.
• Good performance under high surface pressure conditions.
• High temperature, low temperature performance.
• Reusability.
A number of these lubricants are supplied as standard by the Anochrome Group, which include Torque Tip 28® (TT28), Molykote 321®, Molydag 709®, Molydal 1870® and other lubricants and blends according to the requirement of the part. The typical applications of these products are on:
• Turbo charger bolts.
• Carburettor parts.
• Lock parts.
• Hinge pins.
• Seat belt bolts and parts.
• Brake and clutch pivots.
• Bolts with special locking features.
• Clutch locking rings.
• High temperature nuts.
• Gearbox input shafts.
• Machine slides.
• Stainless steel threads.
If necessary, these coatings can be applied to local areas of components. In most cases these coatings will enhance corrosion resistance if applied as a top coat and also have corrosion resistance properties in their own right. These coatings can be applied in bulk, on parts up to 0.5 kg. wt. or 150 mm long. Longer parts can be spray coated.
