MOLYKOTE® D-3484 Anti-Friction Coating

Permanent Dry Film Lubrication

Heat-cured coating bonds to metal surfaces to provide lifetime lubrication without the migration, evaporation, or degradation associated with wet lubricants, eliminating maintenance requirements and reducing total cost of ownership in sealed assemblies and inaccessible mechanisms.

Contamination-Free Operation

Solid film eliminates oil and grease seepage that attracts dirt, interferes with automated assembly processes, or contaminates adjacent components like brake pads, sensors, or electronic assemblies, ensuring clean production environments and reliable system performance.

Extreme Temperature Capability

Maintains lubrication effectiveness from -70°C to 250°C without thermal degradation, viscosity changes, or loss of friction reduction properties, providing reliable performance in underhood automotive applications and industrial equipment exposed to temperature extremes.

High Compressive Strength and Load Capacity

Molybdenum disulfide and graphite solid lubricants withstand extreme pressure conditions in heavily loaded friction pairs, preventing galling, seizure, and premature wear in threaded connections, gear teeth, and safety mechanism engagement surfaces.

Excellent Abrasion Resistance

Phenolic resin binder system creates a durable coating that resists mechanical wear from repeated cycling, extending service life in high-duty cycle applications like seatbelt retractors and safety pawl mechanisms.

Flexible Curing Profile

Heat cure temperature range from 25°C to 200°C enables integration into existing manufacturing processes with varying thermal budgets, from room-temperature air dry operations to high-temperature paint line curing systems.

Oil and Grease Contamination in Safety Mechanisms

Eliminates the lubricant migration and contamination that causes seatbelt webbing staining, sensor fouling, and brake system contamination when conventional greases migrate from adjacent mechanical components during vehicle operation and temperature cycling.

Threaded Fastener Galling and Inconsistent Torque

Provides consistent coefficient of friction in threaded connections to enable accurate torque-to-clamp relationships in critical automotive and machinery assemblies, preventing the galling, cold welding, and over-torquing that cause joint failure or thread stripping.

Production Line Contamination and Assembly Issues

Eliminates the grease contamination of robotic grippers, assembly fixtures, and painted surfaces that occurs when wet lubricants squeeze out during component assembly, reducing scrap rates and enabling automated manufacturing processes.

Lubrication Degradation in Sealed Mechanisms

Provides permanent lubrication in sealed assemblies like trunk locks and safety pawls where access for relubrication is impossible, eliminating the binding, noise, and functional failures that occur when initial factory grease dries out or degrades over vehicle lifetime.
