When oil or grease is applied to a bearing or gear, it can create a protective fluid film. This solid dry film lubricant in Cleveland protects the bearing or gear from wear, migration, and debris. However, when machinery is exposed to extreme temperatures, load, or wear, the liquid can change its fluid state and no longer offer protection. Reduced Wear and Friction Dry film lubricants offer a durable alternative to greases and oils. They have low coefficients of friction and can operate at higher temperatures than oil or grease. They are commonly used for metal-to-metal contact applications that require tribological protection from seizing and galling, as well as in release coatings. They also have excellent chemical and corrosion resistance. These coatings are made up of a resin matrix that binds lubricating powders like graphite, MoS2, and PTFE to the substrate surface. They form a layer of lubricant that can be applied in thin films to prevent friction between mating surfaces and ...
