Molykote® 3400A AERO Anti-Friction Coating

FEATURES 

Excellent lubrication

High load carrying capacity

Excellent adhesion to metals

Low coefficient of friction

High resistance to oils and fuels

Good corrosion protection

Meets requirements of SAE AS 5272 type I & II, SAE AS 1701 Class I, MIL-L-46010D type I & II, PWA 474 COMPOSITION

Solid lubricants

Organic binders

Organic solvents

Heat curing dry film lubricant for metal/metal material pairings involving slow to medium-fast movements and medium to heavy loads.

APPLICATIONS

Suitable for permanent lubrication, with simultaneous corrosion protection of friction contacts involving high loads and low speed.

Used wherever oils or greases cannot be used for technical reasons or are undesirable because of the risk of soiling.

Suitable for aviation applications where a performance according to SAE AS 1701 Class I, SAE AS 5272 type I & II, Pratt & Whitney PWA 474 (final approval pending) and MIL-L-46010D (type I & II) is required. It is recommended to customers to run specific testing on original components before setting specifications.
