Products for threaded connections
Designed exactly for the threaded connections, Molykote and Dow Corning products have the properties to meet virtually any possible operation conditions.
Typical functions of the products for threaded connections
1They provide smooth runnung, movement without jerks
2They protect from corrosion formation
3They prevent from seizure and jamming
4They enable to control tightening torque while mounting
5They operate at extremely low and high temperatures
6They make mounting and dismantling easier
Product types for threaded connections
1Anti-Friction Coatings
2Thread Pastes
3Lubricating materials with penetrating properties
4Protective Coatings
What are these products like?
Anti-friction coatings (AFC) are like paints but contain solid lubricant particles instead of dyeing pigment which are evenly distributed in the mixture of resins and solvents. Unlike conventional lubricants, these products are applied beforehand and are ready to use after cure cycle by forming a kind of coating of the finest solid lubricant particles in a polymer matrix.
Pastes are solid lubricating materials (graphite, molybdenum disulphide, oxides, hydroxides, metal phosphates, copper powders and special compositions) which are dispersed in oil to make applying process more convenient and to increase adhesion. Optimally selected ratio of the components allows to achieve their synergistic interaction and receive high performances of the whole composition while its cost is the lowest.
Products with high penetrating abilities have lubricating and anti-corrosion properties which are defined by the base oils, the solid lubricants, the inhibitors and the solvents in their composition.
Protective coatings are made on base of synthetic wax with corrosion inhibitors and have melt temperature up to +120°С. They have low friction coefficient, excellent adhesion, increased hardness, high corrosion resistance.
