Dry lube

Motion without grease.

Dry-film coatings for sliding parts that cannot run oil. Less pick-up. Less galling. Same Allenton shop that coats food equipment every day.

Rows of matte black coated industrial pins

What it does

The job on the metal.

Some parts need slip and cannot live with wet lube. Food rooms. Clean assemblies. Places where oil collects dirt or product.

A dry film stays on the metal. It cuts friction. It keeps the part from picking up what it slides through.

Typical parts

What we see.

Pins, slides, and small machined lots. Pump and industrial hardware that has to move dry. Repeat batches where every piece needs the same film.

If the part also has to release product, say so. Release and dry lube are neighbors. They are not the same film.

Resins, in generic terms

Named for the chemistry. Not a consumer can.

Dry-film systems and fluoropolymer blends, chosen for load and temperature. PTFE when a low-friction fluoropolymer skin is the right call. We talk in generic resins, not licensed names.

  • PTFE
  • PFA
  • FEP
  • ETFE

Send the part. We will tell you if we coat it.

Name, photo, or a short description is enough to start. Call if the part is already on a truck.
