Slip Plate (Graphite Lubricant)

Dry film lubricants are wet when applied, but quickly dry to form a strong and durable coating of solid lubricant. These products are typically painted on to the surface by brush, spray, or aerosol application. Graphite is a hydrophobic material. Simply put, it means that graphite is naturally water resistant and therefore, rain and snow easily repels off of its surface.

Because the graphite coating remains dry, it will not attract and trap dust, grit, sand, dirt, mud that can lead to increased friction and part failures. Friction management under severe temperature environments. It will perform consistently from 75°F to 400°F. Performs well in wet conditions like rain and snow making it ideal for outdoor environments. Graphite is a natural mineral lubricant and an environmentally conscience alternative to petroleum based wet film lubricants.

SLIP Plate® will bond to any clean metal surface, wood materials, and most plastic surfaces like acrylics and polyethylene/polypropylene. We recommend that you try a test surface on any plastic before applying to the entire area.

Unless specified, prepare the surface as you would when applying a paint coating. The surface must be oil free and clean from debris.

Some primers can provide further help with corrosion resistance. Consult the primer manufacturer for product compatibility.

Aerosol (spray-on): <1 mil
No. 1 (paint-on): 5-7 mil

Use paint thinner, VM&P Naptha or a similar solvent while the material is still wet. Once dried, it will be extremely difficult to remove.
