Esnalube® 382 is a low VOC, thermally cured, MoS2 based solid film lubricant with a silicate binder system. This coating is designed to provide anti-seize and anti-galling properties in fastener related applications. Esnalube® 382 also provides an extremely low coefficient of friction, very good chemical resistance properties and performs best over a wide range of loads. Specifications for Esnalube® 382 is approved/qualified to many aerospace and industrial specification.
