Product Overview

BONDERITE® L-GP 154 ACHESON (also known as Dag 154) is a colloidal graphite dry film lubricant diluted in isopropanol solvent, allowing the lubricant to dry quickly and making it ideally suited for quick-turnaround applications. It adheres well to most substrates, including plastic, and does not require excessive surface preparation, simplifying the application process. Once dry, a thin, lubricious coating is formed that ensures clean, long-wearing lubrication, improving the longevity and performance of the component part. BONDERITE® L-GP 154 ACHESON can be applied using various methods, including spraying, brushing, and dipping, further highlighting its ease of use and versatility. Its unique conductivity properties make it suitable as a resistance coating that imparts electrical conductivity and release properties to nonconductive materials. Consequently, this lubricant is commonly specified in electronic applications. When mixed with BONDERITE® L-GP M 210 ACHESON, a molybdenum disulfide insulating coating, it can create cost-effective sheet resistance variations, enabling a custom approach to meet specific resistance requirements.

Problems Solved

One challenge with dry film lubricants is a slow cure time, which can cause operational inefficiencies or slow turnaround times. Another prevalent problem is poor adhesion on various substrates, especially flexible substrates like plastics, which can lead to cracks in the dry film coating and premature wear and failure. Additionally, there are complexities when sourcing multiple dry film products. Lastly, nonconductive materials, such as plastic, used in electrical applications can cause electrical instability or signal interference, leading to functional failures.
