SLA 2030 (CERFLON®)*
Colloidal PTFE/ Boron Nitride CERFLON in Water
print this product sheet
 
 

Description:

SLA 2030 is a concentrated dispersion of PTFE and Boron Nitride in water. Compared to ordinary PTFE or Boron Nitride dispersions alone, SLA 2030 provides a new dimension in durable boundary lubrication. It is an exceptionally stable dispersion that is white in color which makes SLA 2030 desirable for applications where use of other dark colored solid lubricants would be objectionable.

SLA 2030 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.

Method
of Use:

Surface Preparation
Substrate to be coated should be clean, degreased, and dry.

Dilution
SLA 2030 is supplied in a concentrated form. Mechanical agitation is recommended. Stir the SLA 2030 thoroughly to achieve a uniform consistency. Continue stirring and slowly add the water or diluent. Distilled or demineralized water is preferred. For initial evaluation, use SLA 2030 at a dilution ratio of 1:3 or 1:4 (product:diluent). The best ratio for performance and economy is determined at the point of use.

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.

Application
Diluted SLA 2030 can be applied by conventional spray, brush, or dip methods. Spraying provides the most uniform coverage.
