  • Key Properties

    Air dry, translucent, silicone-based coating for reduced sticking and temporary wear reduction.

  • Applications

    Can be used:

    • In steel production, where it can increase slitter-blade life, resulting in clean, square edges
    • In aluminum production, where it can lengthen the life of tools and dies, improve surface finish, lubricate sliding surfaces and surfaces during extruding, deep drawing or spinning
    • In machine shops, where it can improve surface finishes; extend the life of cutting tools, taps, dies, drills, slitters, and forming tools; reduce wear and reduce stick-slip or metal seizure on bearings, slides, cams adjusting screws, guides and ways
    • For textile, paper and woodworking industries, where it can reduce wear and friction and reduce product staining from spinning frames, knives, scissors, punches, chain, conveyors or material-handling equipment
    • For rubber and plastic industries, where it can reduce sticking, pickup or product contamination from handling equipment, knives, conveyors or sliding surfaces
