 | Wear Coatings
Normally wear is associated with material loss, which can deteriorate the function of the component. Abrasive wear is quite common. It can be prevented or reduced by hardening the surfaces, providing a lubricant (either wet or dry), and preparing the surface finish (RMS) to meet the needs of the forces, stresses and environment of the application. NASA, Lewis Lab, has actually found the too smooth a surface can increase wear by increasing the contact of two surfaces (RMS finishes under 4-5 on loaded planes increases frictional contact and produces more wear than 8-10 finish). Corrosive wear caused by oxidation of chemical attacks, can be prevented and reduced by encapsulating the component. Most often, there is a combination of the mechanical and chemical processes operating separately or together which produce wear. The synergism between the two conditions causes severe material loss much greater than taken alone. |
 | Microlon 1010 Coatings
This resin matrix bonded coating provides the optimum combination of wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, and excellent nonstick (AKA ′′release′′). Microlon 1010 is unaffected by or resistant to most chemicals and corrosive agents. It has an operating temperature to 500°F (260°C) continuous and 600°F (315°C) intermittent.
Microlon 1010 is an excellent lubricant and can withstand loads up to 50,000 psi. For this reason it has been successfully used in the automotive industry on pistons, rocker arms, wrist pins and other bearing surface applications. It may be used to prevent scoring and galling, or provide secondary lubrication due to the failure of the primary (conventional) lubricant. Additionally, Microlon 1010 has good abrasion resistance and therefore, may be used to solve varying problems from release to friction reduction. |
 | Microlon 2610 Coatings
Microlon 2610 is a resin-bonded dry film lubricant which is used to a variety of industrial and consumer applications. The coating is a codispersion of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and a matrix of other lubricants in a thermosetting resin solution. Microlon 2610 is designed to produce a tough, low friction coating with high wear resistance and is capable of withstanding continuous service temperatures of up to 500°F (260°C).
Microlon 2610 provides exceptional lubricity and wear resistance for metal to metal applications. It can be applied to any metal surface and may be combined with a zinc phosphate pretreatment for added corrosion resistance and better wear properties. |
 | Microlon 8700 Coatings
MICROLON 8700 is a multiple coat system which combines fluorocarbons with ceramic reinforcers in a resin binder. This unique process meet USDA requirements and is used successfully in food and pharmaceutical applications. The coating system provides a low coefficient of friction, hardness adhesion to all metals, chemical resistance to wash downs, and corrosion protection.
Microlon 8700 wears longer than pure PTFE, offer superior resiliency and has toughness not normally found in resin systems. The nano size ceramic additive reduces abrasion problems and delivers a non-stick surface with tenacious adhesion. |

Our variety of guns and 5 ovens allow us to be flexible and attentive to your needs to produce a top-quality finish. Also, our experienced applicators and 2 shifts give us the ability to give you a quick turnaround time so that you can meet your production schedules. |
 | Lubricity Coatings
Lubrication for bearings is a major portion of our coatings business. The WS2 is an excellent coating for bearings where conventional lubricants cannot be used or where the application requires the insurance of a permanent lubricant for extended wear life as in gear motors or transmissions. From miniature bearings used in dental hand pieces to large bearings for electrical power plants, the WS2 coating extends wear life between 2 to 5 times.
Several coatings can be used for lubrication. Dry lubricants such as MoS2 or WS2 are used most often but in different applications. The WS2 is used where close tolerances, high heat, or clean room environments are present. The MoS2 coating is used more as a sacrificial coating where ′′wear in′′ is necessary and a thicker coating is desirable. Micro Lube and our line of greases are excellent products, designed for heavy industrial applications or the food grades for processing situations. Normal wash down solutions do not remove the grease from bearing applications. |
