Molykote D-321R 400ml

MOLYKOTE D 321 R Anti-friction Coating Gray-Black is an air-curing, solid, dry lubricant that is used for metal to metal applications that have high loads and slow to medium fast movements. It can also be used to improve the running-in process, permanently lubricating stressed sliding guides, or on high voltage switches. It provides resistance against ageing and stick-slips.

APPLICATIONS

• For metal/metal combinations with slow to medium fast movements and high
  loads.
• Suitable for the permanent lubrication of highly stressed sliding guides with
  low sliding speeds, oscillating movements or intermittent operation.
• Improving the running-in process and for lubrication under high vacuum and
  at extreme temperatures.
• Used successfully for cylinder-head bolts, toaster guides, car mirror
  adjustment mechanisms, high voltage switches, for the running-in of highly
  stressed gear wheel.
• Emergency lubricant for parts of the rotor head of wind energy installations
  and for groove-free cold extrusion of steel.

  brushing. Recommended dry film thickness: 5 to 20 µm.

Drying Time

• After 5 minutes at 23°C the applied film of Molykote D-321 R AntiFriction Coating is touch-dry; this
  process time can be reduced to 1 minute exposing the coated part to hot air at 80°C

Curing time

• After a curing time period of 2 hours at 23°C the dry film of Molykote
  D-321 R Anti-Friction Coating can perform the best lubrication
  properties.

Solubility

• Thinning can be carried out using
  Molykote® L 13 Thinner.
