Description:

SLA 2020 is a concentrated dispersion of PTFE and Boron Nitride in Isopropyl Alcohol. Compared to ordinary PTFE or Boron Nitride dispersions alone, SLA 2020 provides a new dimension in durable boundary lubrication. It is an exceptionally stable dispersion that is white in color which makes SLA 2020 desirable for applications where use of other dark colored solid lubricants would be objectionable.

SLA 2020 utilizes patented technology to “ceramically reinforce” the PTFE, thereby, significantly increasing its durability and application range. This translates to improved extreme pressure, load carrying and anti-wear properties of lubricants. Benefits to the user would include energy savings, smoother operation, extended life, and reduced maintenance costs of the object being lubricated. The “reinforced” PTFE prevents surface-to-surface contact and scuffing while providing reliable low-friction lubrication under boundary conditions.

Surface Preparation
Substrate to be coated should be clean and dry. A solvent wipe or vapor degreasing with air dry is sufficient for most applications.

Mixing and Dilution
SLA 2020 is supplied in concentrated form. Agitate the concentrate to ensure uniform consistency. Continue stirring and slowly add the diluent. A dilution ratio of 1:3 (product:diluent) is suggested for initial evaluation. The best ratio for Note: A small amount of soft settling of the larger particles may occur during long periods of storage. Mild agitation will restore these particles back into suspension.

Diluted SLA 2020 can be applied by conventional spray, brush, dip, or roller methods. Spraying provides the most uniform coverage of this product. Typical film thicknesses range from 0.2 to 0.5 mils. Always agitate thoroughly just before using the diluted SLA 2020.

Application during periods of high humidity may increase opacity or blush; exposure to strong sunlight may cause darkening.
