Release Coatings: Reduced Friction Coefficient

Release Coatings reduce friction and helps extend life cycle of product.

Coating reduces friction of coefficient, and helps extend life cycle of product.

The application of dry film coatings offers design versatility when traditional lubrication (grease, oil, graphite) is not feasible. Many dry film coatings and non stick coatings include fluoropolymers such as PTFE, FEP, PFA, and PPS suspended in a high performance resin. The benefits of these types of release coatings can offer a reduced coefficient of friction and the reduction or elimination of noise:

Where transferring of lubricants to mating parts is desirable for optimal results, we also apply coatings rich with MOS2 (molydisulfide) and graphite.

*Several dry film coatings are also known to behave well in corrosive, chemical, and extreme temperature environments.

From furniture, to the automotive industry, friction is a killer. Improve your product’s performance through the application of friction reduction coatings like dry film coatings and release coatings.
