COMPOSITION AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
DESCRIPTION
Sandstrom 9A Dry Film Lubricant is a paint-like coating
containing molybdenum disulfide and corrosion inhibiting
pigments. This Heat Curing material prevents corrosion,
galling, seizing, and fretting. It is a low-friction coating which
exhibits long wear life when operated at -3200F to +5000F
under loads exceeding 100,000 psi.
9A should be applied where maximum wear life and corrosion
protection from a dry film lubricant are required.
Once Sandstrom 9A has been heat cured, it is virtually
unaffected by atmospheric and fretting corrosion, solvents,
acids, oils, degreasers, and is not resoftened again at elevated
temperatures.
9A can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces by spraying
or dipping. Complete application instructions are on the
reverse of this sheet.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES/BENEFITS
Excellent Corrosion Protection, Chemical Resistance, and
Long Wear Life are its outstanding characteristics.
SANDSTROM 9A CONTAINS NO GRAPHITE
Use Sandstrom "099" as an alternative to 9A where low VOC
and no lead is preferred. 099's performance is comparable
to 9A.
TYPICAL USES
Sandstrom 9A is an excellent solution to the problem of lubricating
parts:
• That will be operated in corrosive atmospheres
