Performance Features
High-Temperature Resistance
The lubricant maintains its lubricating properties even at extreme temperatures, making it ideal for plasma cutting applications where components are exposed to intense heat. It withstands temperatures up to 200°C without degradation, with some formulations capable of handling up to 316°C.
Moisture and Water Resistance
Silicone-based formula creates a protective barrier that repels water and moisture, preventing rust and corrosion on metal surfaces. This hydrophobic property ensures long-lasting protection even in damp environments.
Chemical Stability
Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkhens, solvents, and fuels. The chemically inert formulation does not react with metals, plastics, or rubber components.
Low Friction Coefficient
Reduces friction between moving parts, minimizing wear and tear while reducing noise and energy consumption. The dry film provides even coverage without staining.
Applications
Plasma Cutting Torch Maintenance
-
Electrode Holder Lubrication: Apply to the electrode holder to ensure smooth movement and prevent sticking
-
O-Ring Protection: Lubricate O-rings on torch components to extend their lifespan
-
