Dicronite has a long-standing reputation for providing the highest quality aerospace coating in the form of Ws2 dry lubricant to give our customers confidence that they’re getting a reliable product that will improve the function of their equipment. These ultra-low friction coatings prevent overheating and ensure smooth operations.

A Reliable Anti-Friction Coating

As you search for the best ultra-low friction coatings, it’s no surprise that a product developed for use by NASA would provide the best results. With Ws2 tungsten disulfide, you will find an excellent solution for a medical device lubricant, mold release, and more. As an anti-friction coating, we give you our assurance that your equipment won’t overheat or seize up during operations. When your equipment needs repairs, our tungsten disulfide lubricant doesn’t have to be removed, ensuring faster, more efficient repairs.

Enjoy Simple Application

One reason many companies rely on our aerospace coating for their Ws2 dry lubricant needs is due to its ease of application. The lubricant can be applied at room temperature with dry air. You won’t have to use any binders, adhesives, or carriers to apply 2s2 tungsten disulfide with no cure time required. It’s a fast, simple solution for your equipment lubrication needs. Order your tungsten disulfide lubricant and find out why it’s a trusted option for NASA and many other industries.

What is Dicronite®

Dicronite® dry lubrication is the original brand of modified tungsten disulfide (WS2), developed for NASA and patented in 1965. Registered as DL5®, Dicronite is dry air applied at ambient temperatures, requiring no cure time, binders, adhesives or carriers. It provides an ultra-low coefficient of friction and a maximum thickness of 0.5 microns which does not affect precision tolerances. This trademarked form of modified WS2 bonds to many substrates. It does not require removal prior to repairs, facilitating onsite or in-field repairs and can be reapplied over itself without expensive stripping.
