PTFE 100X
An alternative to e-coating under GMW 14671 Ty F: applied over the anodize finish, it adds 1000-hour salt spray protection, dry lubricity, and a decorative black-anodized appearance in one step.

Industrial coating applications.
Component examples and coating options for automotive, aerospace, commercial and industrial equipment.
Application study
Automotive
Anodized castings & moving hardware.
Automotive and heavy-vehicle components use coated surfaces for dry lubrication, corrosion protection and a uniform finish. The coating choice depends on the substrate and the specified preparation system.
Coating options
PTFE 200X
Where automotive hardware slides or threads, MoS₂ reinforcement helps resist galling and seizure while meeting the same GMW 14671 Ty F application route.
AnoCeramic
Cast aluminum brackets and covers take on the appearance of machined alloy parts — with chemical resistance and >1000 hrs salt spray per ASTM B117.
Application study
Aerospace & Defense
Bearings, pivots & precision hardware.
Solid film lubricants are used at sliding, pivoting and threaded interfaces. For aerospace and defense hardware, coating selection must also match the program specification and approved application process.
Coating options
PTFE 100X
Low gloss black for guns, rifles, and armaments — 1000 hrs salt spray with impact resistance per MIL-A-63576 Ty3, plus a dry lubricating surface.
PTFE 200X
MoS₂-reinforced PTFE for actions and mating surfaces where galling and seizure end service life.
DL 100
Solid film lubrication for flap tracks, hinges, plain and spherical bearings — sliding-motion hardware where wet lubricants can't be retained or would contaminate.
AnoCeramic
Ceramic protection for weapons and taser hardware, with high voltage resistivity where insulation is part of the job.
Application study
Commercial
Lighting housings & architectural metal.
Sealed lighting fixtures require attention to heat dissipation and outgassing. Architectural castings and exposed hardware have different finish, chemical-resistance and corrosion requirements.
Coating options
ThermKote 100Z
Used by lighting manufacturers inside sealed fixtures: dissipates heat without outgassing to reduce fogging when fixtures run hot — with resistance to thermal shock.
AnoCeramic
Architectural metalwork gets a hard, cosmetically uniform ceramic finish that resists chemicals and corrosion in public service.
PTFE 100X
Consumer-facing hardware gets a decorative black-anodized appearance with chemical and solvent resistance built into the film.
Application study
Industrial
Sliding guides & machine components.
Bonded dry films provide lubrication for guides, bearings and threads where oil or grease cannot be retained or would collect contamination. Thermal and insulating coatings serve different functions in the same equipment.
Coating options
DL 100
Bearings, threads, and cam surfaces run dry on a bonded MoS₂ film where oil and grease would collect dirt and dust.
AnoCeramic
Electrical insulators get high voltage resistivity with >1000 hrs salt spray per ASTM B117.
PTFE 100X
Metal surfaces get chemical and solvent resistance with a low-friction, dry-lubricating finish.
ThermKote 100Z
Heat-generating assemblies shed thermal load through a graphite film that doesn't outgas.
