• Heat-hardening, MoS₂/graphite dry-film coating – Solid lubricants in an organic/phenolic binder form a thin, adherent film that delivers stable friction and high load-carrying capacity in boundary and mixed lubrication regimes.
• Designed for metal/metal sliding under high compressive stress – Formulated specifically for metal-to-metal contacts with slow to moderately fast movement and moderate to high loads, such as gears, couplings, springs, and pawls.
• Wide service temperature range (-70 °C to +250 °C) – Maintains lubricity and film integrity from deep cold through elevated operating temperatures, supporting global platforms and underbody/chassis duty cycles.
• High load-carrying and wear resistance – Falex pressure resistance above 12,000 N and strong LFW-1 performance deliver long life under high contact pressures, shock loads, and oscillating motion.
• Excellent friction plus corrosion protection – Combines low-friction dry-film lubrication with meaningful corrosion resistance (18-hour salt spray) to keep sliding surfaces moving freely instead of rusting or galling.
• High flash point and series-production friendly curing – High flash point formulation with 10-minute cure at 170 °C (or 5 minutes at 200 °C) enables safe, fast processing in automated lines and shared ovens.
• Thin, clean, gray-black film – Dry film avoids dirt pickup and oil sling, with a consistent gray-black appearance that supports visual QA checks on treated parts.
• Application flexibility – Can be applied by spray, dip, centrifuge, or brush and thinned with MOLYKOTE^® L-13, allowing easy integration into different manufacturing and rebuild processes.
• No intentional PTFE or PFAS – Helps OEMs and tier suppliers meet internal and external restrictions on fluorinated materials while still achieving high-load, wide-temperature dry-film lubrication.
• Long storage stability – Up to 60-month usable life in unopened containers stored at or below 20 °C simplifies global supply and reduces write-offs.

Lubrication where oils and greases are not acceptable (contamination risk, dirt pickup, or re-lube access) - D-3484 provides a permanent, dry-film lubrication layer for friction pairs where the risk of soiling is unacceptable or where relubrication is impractical, such as safety cutout pawls, seat-belt hardware, and interior lock mechanisms.

High-load metal/metal contacts that gall, fret, or seize under boundary lubrication - The MoS₂/graphite solid lubricant package and high load-carrying capacity protect heavily loaded sliding contacts—like lorry coupling sleeves, toothed gears, and tractor levers—from scuffing and seizure under slow or oscillating motion.

Inconsistent clamp load and thread damage in bolts and fasteners exposed to harsh environments - As a dry anti-friction coating for threaded connections, D-3484 helps deliver defined, repeatable friction coefficients while also providing corrosion protection on bolts, studs, and nuts used in chassis, tractors, and construction machinery.

Cold-weather or high-temperature failures where conventional greases lose performance - With a -70 °C to +250 °C service range and good oxidation and wear resistance, D-3484 maintains lubrication from cold soak to elevated operating temperatures, reducing torque shift and sticking in couplings, springs, and latch mechanisms.

Need to standardize on a fluorine-free dry-film coating across automotive and off-highway platforms - D-3484 offers high load capacity, corrosion protection, and a wide temperature window with no intentional PTFE or PFAS, making it easier to standardize specifications across safety hardware, threaded fasteners, and sliding metal interfaces without introducing restricted fluorinated chemistries.
