Emralon 330 –
Product Description
Product Description: A coating of Emralon 330 offers clean, dry, long lasting, solvent resistant lubrication for sliding, rubbing or rolling surfaces. Emralon 330 is a resin-bonded PTFE lubricant supplied as one component in ready-for-use form. Its low temperature cure of 150°C (300°F) does not affect heat-sensitive substrates such as light metals, wood, rubber and some plastics. The extremely thin coating of Emralon 330 necessary to achieve maximum lubrication (from 0.0003 to 0.0007 inch, or 0.008 to 0.018 millimeter) allows post-treatment of parts while maintaining original part dimensions without redesign. In many cases, an Emralon 330 coating can replace metal plating or finishing and offers improved performance at lower cost.

Emralon 333 –
Product Description
Emralon 333 is a blend of fluorocarbon lubricants in an organic resin binder and solvent system designed for applications beyond the scope of conventional fluorocarbon coatings. Its low coefficient of friction, hardness, adhesion, resiliency, and cure conditions allow application of Emralon 333 in a multitude of places where pure sintered PTFE coatings are unsuitable. Coatings of Emralon 333 wear longer than pure PTFE, offer superior chemical resistance (see data below), and can be repaired without removing the existing coating. Emralon 333 combines the toughness of the support resin with the surface properties of pure PTFE.
