Dry film and powder coatings, typically formulated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and molybdenum disulfide, are often chosen for their ability to reduce friction. They provide excellent adhesion to steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and a wide variety of plastic substrates, including acetal/POM. They are weather, chemical, and solvent resistant, and they can be used alone or in combination with greases and oils. Recommended uses include: sliding motion mechanisms, hinges, threads, washers, gears, and other applications.
