We also apply the required base treatment — zinc phosphate on steel, chem film or anodize on aluminum — in the same facility, so the lubricant bonds to a properly prepared surface for maximum wear life.

Common Applications
What Is Dry Film Lubricant?
Dry film lubricant — also called solid film lubricant — is a coating of fine molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) particles suspended in a resin binder. It is sprayed on and heat cured into a thin, durable, dry film that lubricates by shearing between its molecular layers, much like graphite.
Unlike oil or grease, it does not attract dust, migrate, or drip, and it performs across a wide temperature range and in vacuum. Applied over a phosphate or anodize base, MIL-PRF-46010 provides long-lasting lubrication and added corrosion protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MIL-PRF-46010?
MIL-PRF-46010 is the military specification for heat-cured, resin-bonded solid film lubricant using molybdenum disulfide. It produces a durable dry lubricating film widely used on aerospace and defense hardware.
What is dry film lubricant made of?
A dispersion of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) particles in a thermosetting resin binder. Once sprayed and heat cured, it forms a hard, dry, self-lubricating film.
Why use dry film lube instead of oil or grease?
It does not migrate, drip, or attract contaminants, it works in vacuum and across extreme temperatures, and it provides consistent torque and anti-galling on fasteners — situations where wet lubricants fail.
Do you apply a base coat before the dry film?
Yes. For best adhesion and corrosion resistance we apply zinc phosphate on steel or chem film/anodize on aluminum first, then the MIL-PRF-46010 lubricant — all in the same facility.
Can you apply dry film lube to fasteners?
Absolutely. Fasteners are one of the most common applications; dry film lube controls installation torque and prevents thread galling on steel, stainless, and titanium hardware.
How fast is turnaround?
Our shop-wide average turnaround is 4.2 days with 90%+ on-time delivery. Expedite options are available on request.
