Dicronite Southwest

Dicronite® is the original proven, precision dry film lubricant.  It is the first Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) dry lubricant developed for NASA and patented in 1965. Registered as DL5®, Dicronite is dry air applied at ambient temperatures, requiring no cure time, binders, adhesives or carriers. It provides an ultra-low coefficient of friction and a maximum thickness of 0.5 microns which does not affect precision tolerances. 

Increases the performance of bearings, connectors, sleeves, and other rotating/sliding components in extreme conditions.
Eliminates fretting/galling and improves plastic mold performance.

Ultra-low coefficient of friction (u=0.030)
Precision film thickness of 0.5 microns maximum (0.000020 inches)
Wide functional temperature span – 188C to +538C (up to +1316C in vacuum)


Friction and wear reduction
Anti-seize / anti-galling / anti-fretting
Plastic mold release and flow enhancement
In place of conventional lubricants in high-vacuum/temperature situations
