MOLYKOTE^® solvent-based lubricants

Solvents typically are used in anti-friction coating (AFC) formulations as carrier fluids for solid lubricants and resin binder systems and to deliver lubricant to the precise location where it is required for specific applications.

The low flashpoints of solvents allow them to be driven off during the cure process of the resin system. They are mainly organic-based and produce varying levels of volatile organic content (VOC), but can also be water- or VOC-exempt.

Solvent-based lubricants also can be used to thin or adjust the viscosity of existing formulations.
