LUBRICANT COATINGS > WSX

WSX is a unique powdered lubricant for use on surfaces that cannot be coated with a liquid coating or that cannot withstand oven curing. WSX can be bonded to most metals, plastics, composites and rubbers. No thermal curing is required as the bond between the WSX particles and the substrate is formed when pressure is applied through a buffing action. Mechanical buffing is preferred since increased pressure and speed determine the strength of the bond. Bonding by impingement forces created by a blasting machine can be used. It enhances lubrication when buffed on to cured dry film lubricant coatings.
