This air cured solid film lubricant is intended for use on steel,
titanium or aluminum bearing surfaces where moderate wear life and
corrosion protection are desired. It is useful where conventional
lubricants are difficult to apply or retain or where other lubricants
may be contaminated with dirt and dust. It is generally suitable for
sliding motion applications such as in plain spherical bearings, flap
tracks, hinges and cam surfaces, especially where it is
not feasible to use the type of solid film lubricant which requires
baking at an elevated temperature. This material, although intended for
air dry application may be heat cured at temperatures up to 120°C
(248°F). Use of manganese or zinc phosphate pretreatment on steel
bearing surfaces will enhance the wear life and corrosion protection
provided by this lubricant, which can be used to prevent scoring and
seizure on initial start up of new or heavily loaded equipment. The use
of this lubricant is not recommended on roller bearing elements or in
conjunction with oils or greases unless field use indicates otherwise.
This lubricant can be expected to provide corrosion protection for five
years in indoor storage and approximately two years protection in
outdoor storage when lubricant is applied over phosphated steel to a
thickness of 0.0005 inch. Where maximum corrosion protection on steel
is desired, the lubricant should be applied over phosphated steel to a
thickness of 0.001 inch. The heavier coating can be expected to provide
outdoor corrosion protection for approximately four years.
