Paint, Primers &
Powder Coat
Paint: By definition, paint is a material used as a coating to protect and/or decorate a surface. When dried, it forms a hard coating. Painting and bonding aluminum is especially important in the aerospace industry.
Primer: By definition, primer is a substance used in preparation for paint or a top coat. Most, but not all, metals require some type of primer for protection against the elements, especially moisture. Metal primers include added substances to protect against corrosion.
Powder Coat: A robust coating which is applied electrostatically to a properly prepared base material, and then oven cured so that the particles melt/flow into a permanent protective skin. Typically this coatings is harder and more durable than standard “wet paint.”

Lubricant, Solid Film [MIL-L-46010D]
A solid film lubricant renders a service permanently lubricated, giving rise to the elimination of wet lubes. The applications vary as do the coatings. From MoS (molybdenum disulphide) to PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) compounds are blended to meet specific needs. Low VOC coatings are available in both organic and inorganic solid film lubricants as well as corrosion inhibitive coatings. This Mil Spec establishes the requirements for three types of heat-cured solid film lubricant that are intended to reduce wear and prevent galling, corrosion and seizure of metals. Compliance: all items must meet Sections 3 and 5 of the Spec. For use on aluminum, copper, steel, stainless steel, titanium and chromium and nickel bearing surfaces. Thickness range: .0003″ – .0005″mm. No single reading less than .0002″ or greater than .0007″
