Anti Friction Coatings
BECHEM’s range of Anti Friction coatings are developed with combination of high quality solid lubricants, organic/inorganic binding agents, solvents and high performance additives.
Dry film lubricants is advantageous over wet (oil and grease) when adhesion, lifetime lubrication and appearance, are crucial requirements of the application. Dry lubricants perform exceedingly well at elevated high temperatures extreme pressures and in vacuum. Also, dry film lubricants are environmentally friendlier as there is no after use disposal involved as with wet lubricants.
