MOLYKOTE D-3484 Anti-Friction Coating
MOLYKOTE D-3484 Anti-Friction Coating is engineered for metal/metal combinations experiencing slow to moderately fast movements and moderate to high loads. It excels in providing permanent lubrication to friction pairs subjected to high compressive stress and low speeds, especially in scenarios where the use of oil or grease is impractical due to technical reasons or the risk of contamination. This coating combines exceptional lubricating capabilities with robust corrosion protection.
This gray-black coating is comprised of organic binders, solids, and solvents, incorporating MoS2 and graphite as solid lubricants. Its performance is notable for its high flash point, making it well-suited for series production operations. The coating demonstrates high compressive strength and abrasion resistance, contributing to an extended service life. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -70 C to 250 C and has a curing temperature range of 23-200 C. Critically, the formulation avoids the intentional use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The D-3484 coating is commonly used in applications such as pawls of safety cutouts, carburetor springs, lorry coupling sleeves, toothed gears, car safety belts, and car-boot lock parts. It is also appropriate for bolts and levers in tractors and construction machines. This coating can be applied during assembly and run-in processes and is suitable for coating plain bearings, bushings, sleeves, slides, guides, tracks, and threaded connections fasteners.
