This air drying solid film lubricant is intended for use on steel, titanium or aluminum bearing surfaces where moderate wear life and corrosion protection are desire. It is useful where conventional lubricants are difficult to apply or retain or where other 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 application 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.
