Anti-friction coating takes many forms. Within the aviation, defense, semiconductor, and similar industries, a dry coating is necessary. Valves, flanges, and couplings are a few major applications for this type of coating. Some of the most advanced anti-friction coatings are dry types that bond with mechanical pieces. One of the major coatings for large industries is a type of modified tungsten disulfide. Tungsten disulfide can be branded under different manufacturers’ names, and it is heavily used to prevent corrosive build-up on equipment.
Industries with semiconductors, plastic molding manufacturing, and food processing also rely on very thin, durable coatings to keep equipment functional. Most of these industries work with precision measurement, and it is important that any coating within the industry does not inhibit the quality assurance of precision tolerances or their measurement.
Modified tungsten disulfide is a unique type of lubricant coating. It is applied in dry air conditions to many different substrates, and it does not require any type of curing or adhesive. There is no stripping or prep required to reapply it, including during additional coating layers. This makes applying the tungsten during field operations efficient for companies of many sizes and types.
Given the heating and cooling fluctuations of many industries, lubricant coatings must withstand extreme temperatures. Modified tungsten disulfide is reliable within a huge range of temperatures that include both extreme subzero conditions and typical baking temperatures.
It is also important to note that modified tungsten disulfide, like all performance coatings, also resists flaking and deterioration due to radiation.
