INTENDED USE & SUGGESTED APPLICATION

INTENDED USE

Intended Use As originally conceived, the Vitro-Lube coating was intended for use as a high temperature lubricant (to +650°F) in plain journal (bushings) and plain spherical bearings applications involving low velocity oscillatory motion at high units stress loads (10,000 to 50,000 psi). It was to be used in applications where more conventional grease type lubricants or TFE liners were not suitable either because of temperature limitations or other design considerations. As more test data was accumulated, the exceptional cryogenic and room temperature capabilities of the coating became apparent and its use is no longer limited to high temperature applications. The very stringent quality control necessary for the manufacture and processing of this coating provides a more reliable product in applications where conventional resin bonded coatings have been used in the past. Vitro-Lube is that very special lubricant that should be specified after the greases, TFE liners, and conventional dry film lubricants have proven inadequate.

SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS

The following list indicates some of the successful applications for Vitro-Lube:

We do not infer success in all applications, but we can state that if a solid film dry lubricant will satisfy your requirements, Vitro-Lube would be the lubricant most likely to provide optimum performance over a wide temperature range and substantially longer wear life.
