Form:

This specification covers a coating consisting of finely-powdered graphite in a heat-resistant inorganic binder.

Application:

This coating has been used typically on metal parts and selected nonmetallic materials requiring a coating under 0.0001 inch (2.5 µm) thick for reducing wear or minimizing galling, but usage is not limited to such applications.

Aluminum, magnesium, and ferrous alloys, other than corrosion-resistant types, either coated or in contact with other parts having this coating, may be susceptible to corrosion.

This lubricating film has been shown to be compatible with such fluids as distilled water, MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluid, SAE phosphate ester test fluid #1, silicone fluid, UDMG-compatible grease, IFRNA-compatible grease, solid rocket propellants, nitrogen tetroxide, and liquid oxygen.

Safety - Hazardous Materials:

While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
