Slickote / Industries
Made for the
world at work.
Behind every finished product, there are surfaces doing essential work. We help protect them.
Real demands. Purposeful finishes.Application study
Automotive
Built to move. Finished to last.
From anodized castings to sliding hardware, the finish has a job to do. Bring corrosion protection, dry lubricity, and a consistent appearance to the parts behind every drive.

PTFE 100XDry lubricity over anodized aluminumPTFE 200XGalling resistance for mating surfacesAnoCeramicA uniform, corrosion-resistant finishApplication & specification notes
PTFE 100XAn 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.
PTFE 200XWhere automotive hardware slides or threads, MoS₂ reinforcement helps resist galling and seizure while meeting the same GMW 14671 Ty F application route.
AnoCeramicCast aluminum brackets and covers take on the appearance of machined alloy parts — with chemical resistance and >1000 hrs salt spray per ASTM B117.

Aerospace & Defense
The smallest interface matters.
Pivots, bearings, and precision hardware depend on the surfaces between them. Explore bonded finishes for dry lubrication, corrosion resistance, and a controlled working appearance.

PTFE 100XLow-gloss protection over anodizePTFE 200XMoS₂ reinforcement for mating surfacesDL 100Bonded lubrication for sliding motionAnoCeramicCeramic protection and electrical resistivityApplication & specification notes
PTFE 100XLow 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 200XMoS₂-reinforced PTFE for actions and mating surfaces where galling and seizure end service life.
DL 100Solid film lubrication for flap tracks, hinges, plain and spherical bearings — sliding-motion hardware where wet lubricants can't be retained or would contaminate.
AnoCeramicCeramic protection for weapons and taser hardware, with high voltage resistivity where insulation is part of the job.

Application study
Commercial
Designed for everyday exposure.
Fixtures run hot. Architectural hardware faces the weather. Protect the details people see and touch with finishes selected for the environment around them.

ThermKote 100ZHeat management without outgassingAnoCeramicDurable finishes for architectural metalPTFE 100XA protective black-anodized appearanceApplication & specification notes
ThermKote 100ZUsed by lighting manufacturers inside sealed fixtures: dissipates heat without outgassing to reduce fogging when fixtures run hot — with resistance to thermal shock.
AnoCeramicArchitectural metalwork gets a hard, cosmetically uniform ceramic finish that resists chemicals and corrosion in public service.
PTFE 100XConsumer-facing hardware gets a decorative black-anodized appearance with chemical and solvent resistance built into the film.

Industrial
Keep the working surfaces working.
Load, dust, and repeated motion put machinery to the test. A bonded film stays on the part, bringing dry lubrication and protection to the surfaces doing the work.

DL 100Dry lubrication where grease collects dustAnoCeramicElectrical and corrosion protectionPTFE 100XLow friction with chemical resistanceThermKote 100ZA graphite film for thermal managementApplication & specification notes
DL 100Bearings, threads, and cam surfaces run dry on a bonded MoS₂ film where oil and grease would collect dirt and dust.
AnoCeramicElectrical insulators get high voltage resistivity with >1000 hrs salt spray per ASTM B117.
PTFE 100XMetal surfaces get chemical and solvent resistance with a low-friction, dry-lubricating finish.
ThermKote 100ZHeat-generating assemblies shed thermal load through a graphite film that doesn't outgas.
