Tec-Slip products are pre-applied dry film lubricant coatings engineered for precise friction modification across industrial and high-tech applications. Available in two lines: the Industrial Line for heavy construction, automotive, and general manufacturing, and the Precision Line for clean rooms, electronics, optics, medical devices, and aerospace. Tec-Slip coatings deliver consistent, repeatable friction control while minimizing contaminants and particle shedding. Water-based formulations support safer handling and environmental compliance, with grades applicable across a broad range of temperatures and substrate types.
Tec-Slip dry film lubricant coatings are highly engineered and refined friction modification coatings. Many grades have been specifically developed and tested for special use in high demand environments, delivering performance that competing products simply cannot match.
The 300 Series products are dry surface lubricants, formulated for single-use, one-time installation, such as bolts, screws, rivets or fittings. The line ranges from general-purpose types to ultra-pure, purpose-specific products. These general-purpose products are inexpensive, easy to use, and enhance assembly while offering performance characteristics suited to specific assembly criteria.
The Tec-Slip 400 Series are durable, bonded coatings designed for parts that are adjusted repeatedly over time, such as seat tracks, adjustment screws, hinges, shafts, actuators, rails or springs. Built to stay slick under this kind of continuous use, the 400 Series also offers reliable friction control in all-weather conditions and demanding environments like chemical exposure and high temperatures. Testing and field data confirm consistent performance even after severe aging, a property that's often overlooked but critical to long-term field performance and bottom-line value. The majority of Tec-Slip products are water based for safer handling and environmental compatibility. Typically low viscosity, they are easily applied by immersion, dip-spin, dip-drain, or spray methods. Custom rheology and property adjusted grades are available upon request.

Performance, Advantages and Benefits
Engineered Friction Control Across Demanding Environments: Tec-Slip coatings are highly engineered, refined friction modification coatings. Many grades are purpose-built and rigorously tested for use in the most demanding environments. Our 400 Series bonded lubricants deliver extremely durable friction control across all-weather conditions and severe operating environments, including chemical exposure and very high temperatures. Field data and extensive testing show that these coatings maintain consistent, reliable performance even after severe aging, a property that's often overlooked but proves critical to long-term field performance and overall value.
Purpose-Specific Grades for High-Tech and Sensitive Applications: Our product line spans everything from easy-to-use general-purpose lubricants to ultra-pure, purpose-specific formulations engineered for exacting standards. For electronics, clean rooms, and optics, we offer dedicated solutions designed for precision applications where contamination control is non-negotiable, including grades with low particle and vapor emission. These formulations meet the demands of sensitive, high-tech environments while delivering the friction control and durability Tec-Slip is known for.
Broad Temperature Range: Tec-Slip grades perform across an exceptional span of operating conditions. Our 300-IN Series dry surface lubricants handle temperatures up to 315°C (600°F) See TDS depending on grade, while our 400-IN Series bonded finishes perform across a wide range from -40°C up to 350°C (-40 to 598°F), dependent on grade. This breadth equips customers to specify the right grade for extreme heat, extreme cold, or anything in between, all within one trusted product family.
Water-Based Formulation for Safe Handling and Sustainability: The majority of Tec-Slip products are water based, reducing hazardous material exposure during application and simplifying storage and shipping compliance. Solvent-based grades are also available.
Flexible Application Methods: Low viscosity formulations allow application via immersion, dip-spin, dip-drain, or spray, supporting both automated production lines and lower-volume manual processes. Custom grades and rheology modifications are available to meet unique process criteria.
Consistent Assembly Performance: Our 400-IN Series grades deliver a consistent coefficient of friction assembly after assembly, with many grades maintaining that consistency across all weather conditions. Most also carry a high durability, age resistant rating, ensuring performance doesn't degrade over time. This reliability is central to what sets Tec-Slip apart: consistent, predictable friction control that protects your bottom line and keeps your assemblies performing to spec.
What is the difference between the 300 Series and the 400 Series?
The 300 Series consists of wax-based, single-use dry surface lubricants designed for one-time installation, ranging from inexpensive general-purpose options to ultra-pure, application-specific formulations.
The 400 Series consists of durable bonded lubricant coatings engineered for long-term friction control in demanding conditions such as extreme temperatures and chemical exposure, with proven performance retention even after severe aging.
What is the difference between the Industrial Line and the Precision Line?
The Industrial Line (300-IN and 400-IN series) covers general purpose through high-performance dry surface lubricants and bonded finishes designed for heavy construction, automotive, and standard industrial applications.
The Precision Line (300-PR and 400-PR series) is a specialized subset engineered to minimize contaminants, particles, and outgassing for sensitive high-tech applications including clean rooms, electronics, optics, medical devices, and aerospace.
What substrates and assemblies are Tec-Slip products suitable for?
Tec-Slip products are suitable for stainless steel, aluminum, and dissimilar metal assemblies, as well as rivets, fasteners, construction hardware, electronic components, optical instruments, screen assemblies, vacuum and gas delivery systems, medical devices, and aerospace and military components.
What temperature ranges do Tec-Slip products support?
Temperature capability varies by grade. Industrial 300-IN Series grades handle temperatures up to 315°C (600°F), dependent on grade. Industrial 400 Series bonded finishes operate from -40 up to 350°C (-40 to 598°F). Refer to the specification tables for grade-specific ranges.
Are Tec-Slip products safe to handle and environmentally compliant?
The majority of Tec-Slip products are water based, making them safer to handle, apply, and dispose of. Precision Line grades meet most standards for health, safety, and the environment while minimizing objectionable compounds and byproducts.
What application methods are supported?
Tec-Slip products can be applied by immersion, dip-spin, dip-drain, or spray methods, accommodating both high-volume automated processes and lower-volume manual applications. Where different rheology is needed, custom grades are available from the Tectorius team.
How do Tec-Slip coatings perform after aging?
400 Series bonded finishes are specifically noted for high durability and age resistance, maintaining consistent coefficient of friction even after severe aging. This is a key differentiating property for long service life and field reliability in heavy construction, rail, and other demanding applications.
Are there custom grades available?
Yes. In instances where standard grades do not match unique viscosity, rheology, purity, or K-factor requirements, the Tectorius team can develop and deliver custom grades suited to specific application criteria.
