Valve Torque Reduction

From Dicronite Dry Lubrication

A major valve manufacturer uses Dicronite dry lubrication to reduce torque in the rotating components and mating surfaces, while still maintaining sealing capability at the mating surfaces. The manufacturer also values Dicronite dry lubrication's ability to work across low to high temperature and compatibility with essentially all chemicals.

Industrial Lubricants
Industrial lubricants are oils, fluids, greases and other compounds designed to reduce friction, binding or wear and exclude moisture. Specialized characteristics may enhance thermal conduction across thermal interfaces or reduce electrical resistivity across electrical joints.
Metalworking Lubricants, Coolants and Fluids
Metalworking lubricants, coolants and fluids are specialized coatings and carriers for metal forming, metal cutting, lapping, polishing, and grinding applications.
Synthetic Oils, Greases, and Lubricants
Synthetic oils, greases and lubricants are based on synthetic compounds such as silicone, polyglycol, esters, digesters, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and mixtures of synthetic fluids and water. 
Mold Releases and Release Agents
Mold releases and release agents are film forming lubricating oils, solid lubricants, waxes, fluids or coatings that prevent other materials from sticking or adhering to an underlying surface.
Solid and Dry Film Lubricants
Solid and dry film lubricants form a dry layer or coating that excludes moisture and reduces friction, binding, and wear. They often contain additives such as corrosion, oxidation, and rust inhibitors.
