DRY FILM LUBE
One of the obvious reasons for using a lubricating coating is to reduce friction, which improves wear, extends part life and frees up H.P. normally lost to friction. A second major benefit is a reduction in part temperature. This is especially important to such parts as valve springs. Here the pigment choice is critical as certain ingredients can trap heat in a part. Not all coatings are created equal. It is recommended by FOXFIRE COATINGS that coatings using PTFE be avoided in these cases. Contact us before choosing a dry film lubricant.

Dry film lubricants, also known as solid film lubricants, provide a
lubricating film that reduces friction, inhibits galling and seizing and
in some instances can aid in dispersing heat. The appearance is
generally a charcoal gray and takes on a sheen upon burnishing. They are
slippery and provide an extremely low coefficient of friction.
