Dry Film Lubricants
KECO’s dry film lubricant coating is designed to provide dry film lubrication for a variety of industrial, commercial, and military applications. The coatings provide solid film lubrication to meet the requirements for chemical resistance, anti-galling, and wear resistance of military specifications Mil-L-8937C and Mil-L-46010A. These coatings address critical performance needs, ensuring operational reliability and longevity for demanding environments such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery industries.
Dry film lubricants like KECO’s offer superior performance in extreme conditions where traditional liquid lubricants fail. With the ability to withstand high temperatures and intense pressures, they play a vital role in reducing friction and wear across various moving components. Because they are derived from resin-bonded technology, these coatings adhere to surfaces with precision and create a smooth, durable finish. Their chemical-resistant properties further enhance performance under corrosive conditions, particularly where exposure to fuel, water, or chemicals is inevitable.
KECO 500: This resin-bonded lubricant coating is designed to provide dry film lubrication for a variety of industrial, commercial, and military applications. Offering solid film lubrication, it meets requirements for chemical resistance, anti-galling, and wear resistance of military specifications. One of the key advantages of KECO 500 lies in its adaptability; it operates effectively under diverse temperature ranges, ensuring seamless performance from sub-zero conditions to extreme heat. Providing lifetime lubrication for components that are inaccessible after assembly, it functions reliably even after long periods with no maintenance. Effective performance is achieved even with thin films, .0003 inches (8 microns) thick, so there is little interference with operating tolerances. This precision makes it an ideal choice for critical components in aviation and defense applications, where every thousandth of an inch matters to maintain compatibility and efficiency. Designed primarily for turbines, jet engine parts, piston skirts, and gears, KECO 500 provides excellent salt spray resistance. Click here for Product Data Sheet.
Dry film lubricant spray options are available for applications requiring ease of use and controlled application. These sprays ensure that even hard-to-reach areas receive uniform coverage, enhancing protection across complex geometries or intricate assemblies. By using a spray application method, industries can ensure consistency without compromising quality or thickness.
One of the most innovative aspects of KECO’s resin-bonded lubricant coatings is their ability to resist galling and fretting, which are common challenges in high-stress environments. Galling, often caused by adhesive wear during metal-on-metal contact, can severely degrade component surfaces. KECO 500’s anti-galling properties reduce surface damage, ensuring components remain intact and fully functional across extended periods of operation. Additionally, its wear-resistant capabilities shield against mechanical abrasion, providing an additional layer of durability in even the harshest operational conditions.
By employing KECO’s dry film lubricant solutions, industries gain access to cutting-edge protective technology tailored to meet demanding operational requirements. Whether it’s for aerospace turbine blades, automotive engine components, or industrial equipment, KECO’s resin-bonded lubricant coatings provide reliable performance and longevity. These advancements are a result of years of research, innovation, and a commitment to excellence in surface treatment technology.
For applications requiring frequent assembly and disassembly, KECO’s dry film lubricants excel by preventing seizure of fasteners and fittings. This is especially crucial in environments where downtime must be minimized and equipment must remain operational without failure. The coatings’ ability to maintain their properties after repeated use ensures consistent protection throughout the product lifecycle.
Backed by a dedication to quality and performance, KECO’s resin-bonded lubricant coatings align with industry-leading standards to deliver measurable results. Browse our dry film lubricant options, and work with our professionals to find the solution that ensures excellent durability.
