IMF II is a multilayer thermosetting coating system designed to impart lubricity to coated parts as well as, provide good corrosion resistance in a wide range of severe environments. This coating system operates under high heat and in subfreezing temperatures (-300ºF to +450ºF). The IMF II coating system will withstand bearing loads up to 80,000 P.S.I.

The primary coat I this system can be selected for individual job service. On conventional steels the accepted commercial practice is a phosphate coating. The intermediate coat may also be optional; however standard commercial practice utilizes specially formulated epoxy coatings. The finish coat usually contains graphite and/or molybdenum disulphide in thermosetting resins. The finish coat is designed to impart lubricity to the part and has a friction coefficient range of approximately .04 to .09. Total coating thickness of .001 to .002 can be maintained depending upon the configuration of the part being coated. Where mechanical tolerances are a factor, it is recommended that the user discuss tolerance requirements with us. Use of this coating is inducated when lubricity and long life in corrosive atmospheres is needed. Information outlining specific performance data, quality control procedures, and other technical information is available upon request.
