MICROLON 3300

MICROLON 3300 is a blend of fluorocarbon lubricants in an organic resin binder and solvent system designed for applications beyond the scope of conventional fluorocarbon coatings. Its low coefficient of friction, hardness, adhesion, resiliency, and cure conditions allow application of Microlon 3300 in a multitude of places where pure sintered Teflon coatings are unsuitable.  Coatings for Microlon 3300 wear longer than pure Teflon, offer superior chemical resistance (see data below), and can be repaired without removing the existing coating. The coating combines the toughness of the support resin with the surface properties of pure Teflon.

Specific Advantages of MICROLON 3300

  • low coefficient of friction: 0.09 (static); 0.09 (kinetic)
  • one component, ready for use
  • forms a clean, dry, tenacious film
  • lower temperature cure than pure Teflon
  • longer wear life than pure Teflon
  • thin film-- 0.001 to 0.0015 inches (0.025 to 0.038 millimeters)
  • not subject to cold flow
  • doesn't require primers
  • easy to apply
  • can be overcoated
  • resists chemicals, corrosion, humidity and abrasion

This superior coating material offers lifetime lubrication for heat-sensitive substrates, complex machined precision steel parts, light metals (copper, aluminum), and some nonmetallic materials.
