• Do not use solid film lubricants in areas subject to<br />
rotational speeds above 1000 rpm under heavy<br />
loads or on roller bearing elements because they<br />
will not provide adequate lubrication in these situations.<br />
• Do not use solid film lubricants in conjunction<br />
with oils or greases as they are not compatible.<br />
7.4.2 Solid Film Lubricants. Solid film lubricants are used<br />
where conventional lubricants are difficult to apply or retain or<br />
where other lubricants may be contaminated with dust, wear<br />
products, or moisture and to reduce fretting corrosion on close<br />
tolerance fittings that see primarily static loads with only very<br />
small relative movement caused by vibration. Typical applications<br />
of solid film lubricants are sliding motion components<br />
such as hinges, turnbuckles, and cargo latches.<br />
7.4.2.1 As with paints, surface preparation prior to application<br />
is extremely important to the service wear life of solid<br />
film lubricants. In reality, solid film lubricants are nothing<br />
more than paints with solid (powder) type lubricants used as<br />
the pigment. They are usually applied over surfaces pre-coated<br />
with other films, such as anodize (aluminum and magnesium<br />
base material), phosphate (steel base material), and sometimes<br />
over organic coatings such as epoxy primers.<br />

Lubrication between rubber and metal parts of<br />
pneumatic systems; pressurized cabin bulkhead<br />
grommets and other mechanisms requiring rubber<br />
to metal lubrication.<br />
Tapered plug valves; gasket lubricant or seal; general<br />
plug valve and fitting use where gasoline, oil,<br />
alcohol, or water resistance is required.<br />
Heavily loaded steel sliding surfaces, accessory<br />
splines, or anti-friction bearings carrying high loads<br />
and operating through wide temperature ranges<br />
where molybdenum disulfide will prevent or delay<br />
seizure in the event of inadequate lubrication. This<br />
grease is not intended for use in wheel bearings.<br />
Lubrication of ball, roller, and needle bearings,<br />
gears, and sliding and rolling surfaces of equipment<br />
such as instruments, cameras, electronic gear and<br />
aircraft control systems that are subject to extreme<br />
marine and low temperature conditions; rolling and<br />
sliding surfaces of equipment with low motivating<br />
power (low torque equipment); general use on aircraft<br />
gears, actuator screws, and other equipment<br />
with high load carrying capacity. Its extremely low<br />
volatility makes it useful on aircraft optical equipment<br />
since it will not produce oil fogging.<br />
Lubrication of ball and roller anti-friction bearings<br />
that operate at extreme high or low temperatures,<br />
especially in applications where soap-type petroleum<br />
or synthetic oil greases and oils cannot be<br />
used. Can be used on aircraft actuators, gearboxes,<br />
and similar equipment.<br />
