Product Summary
The KTX Dip uses fast-evaporating
HCFC-
141b as the carrier, with 1.5% solids. Usually
found in high-volume applications involving
metal components, this is Micro Care’s least
expensive dry lube option. KTX is recommended when
cost control is critical and universal materials
compatibility is not essential. Not ozone-safe.
Product Details: the KTX Dry Lubricant Dip
The KTX Dip uses 1.5% solids and a fast-drying carrying agent
to produce a high-quality, low-cost coating. The product is
most often recommended for metal parts, but has been successfully
used on glass, ceramics, strong plastics and other
advanced materials. This lubricant film is non-migrating, nonflammable,
nonconductive and essentially non-toxic. This is
Micro Care’s lowest-cost microdispersion product.
While the lubricant is completely inert on all types of plastics,
the mixture relies on a highly affordable carrying agent
which is not plastic-safe. The carrying agent is dichlorofluoroethane
(HCFC-141b) which is a non-toxic, nonflammable
liquid which dries almost instantly at room temperatures.
The carrier is a Class II ozone-depleting material. Test thoroughly before widespread deployment.
