Antifriction coatings are dry lubricants that, in their formulation, resemble industrial paints. They contain solid lubricants such as pigments and resins, binding agents, and solvents. The primary components include MoS₂ (molybdenum disulfide), graphite, and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene).
Modern antifriction coatings meet various specific performance requirements, with an increasing application of nanotechnology. In addition to careful selection of raw materials, the volume concentration of lubricants plays a crucial role in ensuring lubrication efficiency and corrosion protection. For optimal performance, these coatings should be applied preferably via automated or electrostatic spraying.

Benefits and Applications of Antifriction and Wear-Resistant Coatings

• Friction and wear reduction
• Consistent coefficient of friction with minimal variation
• Suitable for extreme conditions involving temperature, vacuum, and dust
• Thermal resistance ranging from –200°C to +650°C, depending on the product
• In many cases, lifetime lubrication without the need for oils or greases
• Supports additional lubrication with oil and grease if required
• Compatible with multiple materials, including metals, plastics, elastomers, and wood
• **Option to create coatings resistant to mineral oils and chemical
• Thin, re-coatable layers ranging from 5–30 µm
• Not subject to hydrogen embrittlement
