Wood Applications
Using dry lubricants like Emralon for wood surfaces and wooden pieces such as hinges or other connectors is common. The reason for this is that it offers all of the benefits of a typical lubricant, but without being sticky or oily, meaning it does not attract dust or other particulate matter. This means getting the benefits of better lubrication without sacrificing the appearance – which is also helped by Emralon’s ability to form a translucent coating. This way, none of the color or character of a wooden surface is lost.

These benefits also apply across a range of other applications, including rubber, plastic, and glass. Being able to coat or lubricate without attracting dust or other particles is a major benefit when used in so many different household items and applications that involve a variety of materials.
Metal Applications
A dry film lubricant for metal surfaces and pieces has a range of benefits, too. Much like with wood, plastic or other materials, this type of lubricant is ideal for metallic moving parts that regularly slide or rotate. Dry film lubricants such as Emralon go a long way in greatly extending the life of metallic moving parts and pieces of equipment, significantly reducing wear.
What’s the Difference?
So, is there a difference in using a dry film lubricant on wood, metal or any other material? Ultimately, no – the benefits of a coating material such as this stretch across a range of applications, which is one of the reasons their use is so common. Not only do they offer versatility, but a simplicity of use which means they can be used in both industrial and at-home tasks.
