Description
About MOLYKOTE® 3402-C LF Anti-Friction Coating (500g)
OVERVIEW:
MOLYKOTE® 3402-C LF is a heat-curing, high-performance anti-friction coating (solid film lubricant) designed for metal/metal combinations under high load, slow to medium-speed sliding conditions. It forms a dry, wear-resistant lubricating film that provides excellent friction reduction and wear protection even in extreme operating environments. 3402-C LF is particularly suited for applications where clean, dry lubrication is required and conventional greases or oils are unsuitable.
KEY FEATURES:
High Load-Carrying Capacity
Provides excellent wear protection and load-carrying performance for components exposed to high mechanical stress and shock loads.
Low Coefficient of Friction
Reduces friction effectively, supporting smooth operation and extended component life.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Performs effectively from approximately -200°C to +450°C, enabling use in extreme temperature environments.
Dry, Clean Lubrication
Forms a dry, solid lubricating film that resists attracting dust and contaminants, making it ideal for clean or dusty environments.
Corrosion Protection
Offers excellent protection against corrosion, helping extend the service life of metal components.
Excellent Adhesion
Adheres strongly to properly prepared metal surfaces, ensuring durable and reliable lubrication.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Sliding Guides and Tracks – Lubrication of guide rails, cams, sliding bearings, and tracks under high load and harsh conditions.
-
Threaded Connections – Applied to bolts, screws, and fasteners to prevent seizure and facilitate future disassembly.
-
Plain Bearings and Bushings – Suitable for dry lubrication of plain bearings and bushings where oil or grease is impractical.
-
Press-Fit Components – Prevents stick-slip and fretting corrosion during assembly and operation.
-
Heavy-Duty Industrial and Aerospace Applications – Used in components subject to extreme temperatures, heavy loads, or corrosive environments.
PACKAGING:
MOLYKOTE® 3402-C LF is typically supplied in 500g cans and other packaging formats depending on regional availability and application needs.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
-
Surface Preparation: Clean and degrease surfaces thoroughly. For optimal adhesion and performance, mechanically roughen surfaces (e.g., by grit blasting).
-
Application: Apply the coating by spraying, brushing, or dipping to achieve a thin, uniform film.
-
Curing: Allow the coating to air dry, then heat-cure according to the recommended curing schedule to develop full performance characteristics.
-
Maintenance: Inspect periodically and reapply as needed depending on wear and operating conditions.
SAFETY AND HANDLING:
MOLYKOTE® 3402-C LF contains organic solvents and should be used in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles. Keep away from open flames and sources of ignition. Refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety, handling, and disposal information.
