A. Defric coating is a solid film lubricant which can provide resistance to corrosion and facilitate lubrication in extreme conditions. There are 300 kinds of Defric coats. Main Defric coat products either Molybdenum disulfide or Graphite or Fluorine based Lubricants.

Regarding mode of application … well common method is through Spraying on work piece and then drying in the oven at temperature of about 180 - 250 °C.

Ed. note: Sorry, this RFQ is old & outdated, so contact info is no longer available. However, if you feel that something technical should be said in reply, please post it; no public commercial suggestions please ( huh? why?)

We are a trading company in Indonesia specially dealing with maintenance chemicals including coatings or paints.

Currently looking to buy the "DEFRIC COAT EB-80GR 1 (GREY).
According to our client for the product related, it is produced by a Japanese company, but also produced in US and Germany.

Until the moment, we do not yet have full contact details of its original supplier / MFG for the product, is there anybody here can help and let us know of the contact details of the company for this product?

Thanks very much in advance for the assistance.

Q. I am looking for additional information regarding Defric coatings. The gentleman in the thread previously stated that there are 300 some odd Defric coatings. My question is, where might I search for this information. Is there a particular company that deals in these.
Thank you, Ken

Hi, folks. Defric is a trade name for one brand of solid film lubricants and related coatings which seem to be available from Nihon Parkerizing of Tokyo, Japan, which appears to have subsidiaries around the world. Please google for further info.

This site's supporting advertisers cheerfully make the site available for technical discussions and camaraderie, but they would justifiably have a problem if the readers, instead of contacting them about their dry film lubricants and coating needs, ask them to bear the cost of posting detailed distributorship info for their competitors who don't support the site :-)

A. The coating thickness allowance must be calculated and incorporated in the drawing of the component on which the coating has to be applied.

Molybdenum disulfide vs. manganese phosphate coatings

Q. What is the difference between manganese phosphate coating and Defric coating? Is manganese coating recommended for pistons of HFO [heavy fuel oil] engines?

Molybdenum Disulfide

Phosphate Conversion Coating

A. Hi Ahmad. Defric is only a trade name and does not specify the technology of the coating. But we assume that you are referring to molybdenum disulfide coatings? These are "dry film lubricants" rather similar to graphite in function.

Yes, manganese phosphate coatings are used on piston rings and other lubricated machine parts, and one of their primary uses is as a "break-in" coating. The phosphate is granular, soft, and oil-retaining -- providing a useful degree of lubrication before oil gets to the parts.
