- Application Methods
Formulated specifically for medical device mold release and component-assembly uses, the aerosol packaged Duraglide Dry Lubricant is ready-to-use and calibrated with a concentration of PTFE optimized for most lubrication needs. Normal precautions (safety glasses, etc.) should be used when using this product. See product SDS prior to use for full details on health and safety.
Treated surfaces should be clean and dry prior to the application of the lubricant. To ensure the lubricant dispenses uniformly when sprayed, shake the can and make certain the mixer ball contained inside the can moves freely before each use. Hold the can 10 - 12 inches (25 - 30 cm) from the surface to be treated. For the best results, apply a thin mist. The coating dries in seconds and can be seen on the part. A single treatment is adequate for most applications.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Heat Treatment
Coated parts can be heat treated for greater coating durability. Heat-treatment offers enhanced durability by melting the coating onto the substrate of the part. The process is simple and involves heating the part surface to 300-315℃ (575-600℉). Measure the surface temperature directly with a thermocouple. The coating appearance may change from opaque white to a darker translucent surface and finally appear clear wet. Maintain the surface temperature of the coated part (not the temperature of the ambient air) at recommended temperature for 5 - 10 minutes. If a white residue remains, buff with a soft cloth after cooling. No further treatment is required.
