AGRATILUBE™

A water-basted topcoat that acts as corrosion prevention layer and as a lubricant.

Coating general description

Water based topcoat with dry to touch finish, acts as a corrosion prevention layer and as a lubricant. Hazy, matte finish that doesn’t alter the appearance of phosphated parts.

Technical advantages

Dry to touch;
Shelf life of finished product is higher than oiled parts;
Friction coefficient stability even under high loads, friction range μtot = 0.08-0.14 (according to ISO16047);
Multi-tightening friction coefficient stability, at least 5 tightenings against:
- Steel
- Aluminium
- KTL

Increased humidostatic chamber red rust resistance, compared to standard phosphated and oiled coatings;
Untightening resistance up to 100°C;
Prevents stick-slip;
Doesn’t affect the H-embrittlement phenomena;
Very good adhesion.

Application types

Bolts and nuts with phosphated conversion layers
Powertrain bolts
Conrod bolts

Suitable substrates

Zn Phosphates/μPhosphates
Zn-Ca μPhosphates
Mn Phosphates
Zn-Fe Phosphates

Cleanliness performance

Due to the dry to touch nature of the coating, the cleanliness level tested according to VDA 19 is better compared to screws coated with μ-phosph. + oil.

Application process and environmental safety

Suitable for barrel or rack application processes, needs a curing time at 100°C. The product is ready to use and doesn’t need any dilution.
It is CrVI and heavy metal free.
