CONT

[Air-cured resin-bonded solid lubricants consist] of a lubricating powder... in an air-curing binder material. The lubricating pigment is usually mdybdenum disulfide... The resin or binder serves only as a means of improving the adhesion of the powder to the surface to the lubricated. This type of solid film lubricant usually contains a lower total solid content than [the heat-cured type]. This reduction in solids results in a film with a shortened wear life.

OBS

The terms, "solid film lubricant", "bonded solid film lubricant" and "bonded solid lubricant" also refer to the liquid mixture which may be applied by spraying, brushing or dipping.

OBS

bonded solid film lubricant: term standardized by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
