KFX Dry Film Lubricant Using Vertrel®

Product Summary

KFX 9% Concentrate features a fast-evaporating HFC carrier with 9% solids. It is formulated for high speed, high-volume applications where universal materials compatibility is essential. The concentrate can be customized by dilution with additional carrying agent (see Packaging, below). Select KFX when a unique concentration is required and/or when universal materials compatibility is desirable.

Product Details: KFX Concentrate

KFX 9% Concentrate is loaded with 9% solids, so the product normally is tailored to client’s unique production requirements by diluting the concentrate with additional carrying agent. Customers can reduce the solids content to as low as 0.5% solids, but the recommended range is 1.5-3.0%.

The mixture is completely plastic-safe on all normal materials of construction. The carrier is an ozone-safe, nonflammable hydrofluorocarbon solvent with a small proportion of alcohol. This mixture is safe for people, safe for the environment, nonflammable and completely inert on all types of plastics. KFX is the best choice for engineers needing customized dry coatings.

The material is available at the 9% concentration suitable for dilution by the customer, or at customized blends prepared to the client’s requirements.
