microGLEIT® is the leading supplier of dry film lubricants for fasteners. Intensive development work and the experience of many years of practice with products and processes result in a wide range of reliable “friction adjusters“.

• Lubricants are indispensable for adjusting the coefficient of friction to desired values and narrowing down the standard deviation of the friction values of modern connection elements.
• Good choice of the product and proper processing is influencing the layer quality – ideally synergies are achieved here.

microGLEIT® DF dry films are mostly water-based lubricant systems; they contain e.g. PE (polyethylene) and partly additives such as PTFE or wax.

• After application this dry films build thin, transparent layers with a typical thickness of 1 to 5 μm.
• For connection elements of all kinds this thin layer warrants a defined, constant coefficient of friction μges in a range of 0,08 to 0,16, depending on application and product. (Friction values μges according DIN EN ISO 16047)
• Basic principle:
  No threaded connection without proper lubrication!

microGLEIT® dry film lubricants are used on threaded connections in almost any industry segment, such as:

• bolts and nuts with metric threads (e.g. according ISO 4014, DIN 931, 933 etc.),
• wood construction screws (e.g. SPAX®),
• stainless steel bolts and nuts,
• almost any threaded connection in automotive industries,
• thread forming and self-tapping screws,
• and many more…

microGLEIT® dry film lubricants are suitable as topcoating for all known surfaces on bolts and nuts, such as:

• phosphatizing
• galvanic zinc (including all chromate coatings (yellow, blue, black or olive)
• zinc-nickel and zinc-iron coatings
• zinc-flake coatings.

microGLEIT® dry film lubricants are characterised by very good film formation and excellent processing capability during application. microGLEIT® offers not only top products but also appropriate process knowhow.
