CRC DRY LUBE

Ref. : 10255

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A Dry Surface Lubricant containing PTFE. CRC Dry Lube is a fast drying, fluorotelomer

dispersion of white, waxy particles of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). When applied to a

variety of surfaces, the product exhibits outstanding lubricity and antistick or release

properties. The low molecular weight of PTFE gives thermal and chemical stability. As a

lubricant, CRC Dry Lube is most effective where low speeds and light loads are involved.

2. FEATURES

• Clean, dry and non-oily.

• Functions under a wide variety of conditions, ranging from cryogenic temperatures to

260°C.

• Produces extremely low coefficient of friction.

• Reduces 'stick-slip' problems to a minimum.

• Most effective where low speeds and light loads are involved.

• Thermal stability: can be heated above its melting point before appreciable decomposition

starts.

• Chemical stability: resistant to most acids and hydroxides (HNO

conc., HCl conc., H

conc., NaOH 30%, KOH 30%) at room temperature.

• Room temperature drying.

• User friendly operation.

• Delivered in an aerosol for convenience.

3. APPLICATIONS

a. As a Dry Lubricant

CRC Dry Lube is extensively used as a dry surface lubricant in electronic switches, window

hardware, military equipment and many others:

• Leather, plastics, and elastomers used in drive belts, gaskets, packings, gears, bearings

and sleeves, and chain drives.

• Metal, fabric and thread, as well as cord, twine, rope and cable made from natural or

synthetic fibers.

• Machine parts and fittings, including nuts and bolts linkage and connectors, locks, power

saw blades machine mechanisms, electrical equipment, instruments and office machines.

• Extrusion, rolling, drawing, sizing, and other metalworking operations.

• Musical instruments, magnetic recording tapes, camera shutters and film.

• Glass and paper.

• Door hinges, locks and catches, window guides, slide channels on storm window sashes

and screens, furniture and cabinet drawers and guides, zippers, and many other

household items.

b. As a Release Agent

Used extensively as a release agent in the moulding of rubber and plastic parts. CRC Dry

Lube is virtually unaffected by either the mould's material or the products being moulded.

TECHNICAL DATA 2/2 CRC DRY LUBE Ref. : 10255 Transfer of CRC Dry Lube to moulded parts is negligible, minimizing interference with post finishing operations. An ideal release agent for: • Moulded rubber parts, moulded plastics, conveyor belts, chutes and slides, paper, leather, industrial blenders, tanks, bins, spray booths, hosiery forms, pressure sensitive labels, gaskets, seals, hardboard plywood and other laminated wood products. 4. DIRECTIONS • Apply on a clean, dry surface.
