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

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.
