Surf-Kote®

Hohman Plating manufactures and sells the Surf-Kote® line of solid film lubricants and has been a leader in the manufacturing of dry film lubricants since 1955.

Solid Film Lubricants are matrix-bonded materials that when applied to the surface of a part provides a solid, curable, lubricating film. These coatings are applied by brush, spray, roll, or dipping. Generally the spray application with multiple coats provides the best lubrication. Solid Film Lubricants have different properties depending on the performance requirements and environment that the coating will be used in.

Surf-Kote® PS 100
PS 304

The NASA Glenn Research Center has developed a patented high-temperature solid lubricant coating, designated PS304, for reducing friction and wear in bearing systems. The material used to produce the coating is initially a blend of metallic and ceramic powders that are deposited on the bearing surface by the plasma spray process.
Thermal Spray coating is a cost effective way to impart material properties to base materials and extend a part's service life. Applications for this type of coating include wear prevention, dimensional restoration, thermal insulation and control, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, abrasive activity, and lubricating films.
Simply put, thermal spray coating is applied by spraying molten material at a high velocity onto a part where the material solidifies.

PS304 Solid Lubricant Coating is licensed from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under license number DN-981.
