Increases in automated production and assembly makes
solid film lubricants ever more important. They make it
possible to provide many structural components with
dry, efficient lubrication and, compared with conventio-
nal lubricants, permit designs to be simpler. They
improve the running-in of highly-stressed machinery
components, simplify installation processes and,
in many instances, guarantee maintenance-free
lifetime lubrication.
Solid film lubricants manufactured by FUCHS LUBRITECH
are "state-of-the-art" and meet the increasing technical
demands made by diverse sectors such as industrial and
plant technology, metal-processing industry, machinery
construction and the commodity goods and automotive
industries.
In addition to their outstanding technical properties, thesolid film lubricants made by FUCHS LUBRITECH also
comply with the ever-increasing demands to address
environmental issues.
In many instances, if it's a question of dry film
lubrication, solid film lubricants are the optimum
choice. Solid lubricant coating has proved its
worth many times over and today provides a reli-
able and indispensable design element.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONOF SOLID FILM LUBRICANTS
The fundamental difference compared with normal industrial varnishes
is that they contain solid lubricants instead of colour pigments.Apart from the main components – binders, solid lubricants and
solvents – solid film lubricants may also contain functional additives
such as corrosion inhibitors or UV active components.

STRIBECK DIAGRAM: MODEL OF THE FRICTION AREASDURING FLUID LUBRICATION
Initial smoothing of the surface of the solid film
lubricant takes place as a result of the relative
movement of the opposing surfaces.
A partial discharge of material from the solid film
lubricant layer creates a "transfer" film on the
opposite surface. The build-up of lubricating film
between the two surfaces leads to a reduction in
the coefficient of friction.
The solid film lubricant provides the dual advantage
of dry and clean lubrication and in many instances
can replace the use of greases and fluid lubricants,
particularly where slow sliding movements are
involved. In addition solid film lubricants can be
used in combination with fluid or pastes. Solid film
lubricants enhance the lubrication of components
in the boundary friction region, when there is
no hydrodynamic lubrication and direct contact
between the surfaces occurs.
After drying and curing, solid film lubricants form a
strong dry coating several microns thick, by adhe-
ring firmly to the substrate. The film reduces both
wear and friction as well as acting as a parting
agent and provides lubrication between the oppo-
sing surfaces.

PERFORMANCE RANGE OF SOLID FILM LUBRICANSolid film lubricants enable to pre-treat and store lubricated parts ready for assembly.
They are characterised by extremely high resistance to pressure and to temperatures; they neither age nor become
resinous and at the same time are clean to handle. FUCHS LUBRITECH's solid film lubricants possess outstanding
lubricating and protective properties:
SOLID FILM LUBRICANTS
make dry and clean lubrication possible
are resistant to contamination
protect against corrosion
lubricate under extreme conditions
(high and low temperatures, vacuum, radiation)
are suitable for the surface refinement of a number
of materials (metals, plastics, elastomers, ceramics,
glass etc.)
SOLID FILM LUBRICANTS
make assembly and dismantling of fitted parts simpler
optimise the running-in performance of highly-stressed components
make maintenance-free lifetime lubrication possible
prevent the occurrence of "stick-slip" and thus reduce noise
attain precise coefficients of friction with low variables for fasteners
when combined with oil and grease lubrication guarantee additional
safety through emergency lubrication.

PRE-TREATMENTSurface preparation of the parts to be coated plays an
important role during solid film lubricant coating.
Good adhesion and therefore long lifetime can only be
achieved with a pre-treatment which is customised forthe particular part and solid film lubricant. Thorough
removal of all grease residues, dust, dirt, rust and scale is
a fundamental part of the pre-treatment of the work
piece surface.
PLASTIC PARTS:
De-greasing of plastics and elastomers can be achieved
with aqueous cleaners or solvents. When using solvents,
however, attention should be paid to compatibility with
the plastics to be cleaned.
The adhesion of the solid film lubricants can be impro-
ved by roughing the surface, for example. Suitable
methods are grinding or blasting with CO 2 or sand.
Deformation of the parts or surface damage must be
avoided. Alternatively, physical methods such as plasma
activation, corona or flame treatment can be used for
the pre-treatment of plastics.
METAL PARTS:
De-greasing can usually be done by using organic
solvents, such as, for example, hydrocarbon, acetone etc.
A more environmentally and user-friendly result can be
achieved by using alkaline or neutral aqueous cleaners.
The effectiveness of the cleaners can usually be inten-
sified when combined with ultrasound or heat.
Rust and scale can be removed mechanically or chemi-
cally. Grinding or blasting are suitable mechanical
pre-treatment methods. Rust and scale can be removed
chemically through pickling in acids or lyes.
Phosphatising can give significantly improved adhesion
of the solid film lubricant onto the metal surface.
Phosphating improves both the mechanical propertiesand corrosion protection of the parts to be coated.
Normally, zinc or manganese phosphating is used.

DRUM COATING
Coating in drums is particularly suitable for bulk goods,
which have simple shapes (e.g. washers, bolts, pins,
O-rings). An advantage of this process is the surface
smoothing that occurs due to the friction between the
coated parts in the drum and so homogenous layer
surfaces can be achieved. By combining it with a spray
coating in so-called "spraying drums" the thickness of
product deposited can be controlled precisely, thereby
giving an improved coating.
HARDENINGAir-drying solid film lubricants are dried at room tem-
perature before being subjected to frictional load, while
heat-cured solid film lubricants are cured after coating.
Normal curing temperatures are in the region of approx.
100-200ºC. More detailed information about the solid
film lubricants made by FUCHS LUBRITECH can be
obtained from the relevant product information sheets.
QUALITY CONTROLThe general criteria used for the quality control of solid
film lubricant layers are the surface finish, the coating
thickness and adhesion to the surface of the component.
Transparent solid film lubricants usually contain
a special UV indicator which can be made visible with a
UV lamp and allows "Yes/No" control.
Further control parameters are determined by the shape
of the component and the requirements of the coating
applied. Quality control statistical analysis usingappropriate test rigs is rarely required.

The selection of a suitable solid film lubricant requires a
high degree of professional competence and is mainly
determined by these factors: type of component,
purpose of the coating, surrounding conditions and
quality management requirements.
Solid film lubricants manufactured by FUCHS LUBRITECH
have proved themselves in many fields and represent the
optimum solution for dry and clean lubrication. Thus, forexample, they can provide installation-compatible
lubrication for screw connections, fitted parts and
O-rings, help to minimise wear on gear components
and provide lifetime lubrication for components
essential to safety.
The assessment as to whether a solid film lubricant is suit-
able for providing lifetime lubrication for a component
must usually be proved through trials on suitable test
rigs. Generally solid film lubricants have a limited service
life, which will be indicated in the trial by an increase in
the coefficient of friction and the appearance of wearphenomena. Thus, it should be noted that load and
sliding speed of the component can have a great
influence on the performance of the solid film lubricant.

Apart from numerous industrial applications, the
versatility of solid film lubrication can be seen
from the automotive applications outlined below.
Solid film lubricants ease the assembly of sealing and
bolting elements, contribute to interior noise reduction,
provide the best possible performance under extreme
conditions (e.g. engine compartment, exhaust system)and guarantee safe and reliable lubrication of
components.
