Specialty Coatings include assorted dry film lubricants and heat shedding products. Dry film lubricants which are commonly referred to as “Teflon Coatings” are designed to reduce friction, heat and wear on any rigid or semi rigid surface exposed to sliding, rotating or oscillating friction. They are designed to carry loads in excess of 350,000 psi as well as lubricate at temperatures beyond 1600F. Some of the most common applications would include piston skirts, bearing surfaces, gears, valves, springs and helixes. The cured film thickness is typically .001” or less but there are also “high build” lubricants that can be used to build up part size like that of a piston skirt.
