MOLYKOTE D-7409 Anti-Friction Coating
MOLYKOTE D-7409 is a heat-curable dry-film lubricant designed for metal-to-metal contact situations involving slow to moderately fast movement and moderate to high loads. This coating is particularly effective in high-stress sliding areas with low sliding speeds, oscillating motion, or intermittent operation. Its suitability extends to applications requiring permanent lubrication at high temperatures where the use of oils and greases is impractical. Application involves thorough surface cleaning and degreasing, with optional pre-treatments like phosphating or sandblasting for improved adhesion and longevity. The coating is applied evenly using methods such as spraying (3-5 bar air pressure), dipping, centrifuging, or brushing, aiming for a dry film thickness of 5-20 m.
The coating cures in 30 minutes at 220 C and provides exceptional lubrication alongside corrosion protection, high load-carrying capacity, and wear resistance. It exhibits resistance to high temperatures, oils, greases, and solvents, and effectively prevents fretting corrosion. The formulation includes solid lubricants, an organic binder, and organic solvents. The product has a shelf life of 36 months under proper storage conditions.
