Design Engineering: Temperature

Definition - Condition with respect to heat or cold, especially as indicated by the sensation produced, or by the thermometer or pyrometer; degree of heat or cold; as, the temperature of the air; high temperature; low temperature; temperature of freezing or of boiling.


Temperature and Coatings - Temperature is one of the reasons for using engineered coatings instead of traditional forms of lubrication. Many of our coatings are capable of functioning from cryogenic temperatures to over 2000° F. When selecting a coating, it is very important that the coating have the correct formulation to provide the needed temperature advantage.

Temperature and Coatings


Temperature is one of the reasons for using engineered coatings instead of traditional forms of lubrication. Many of our coatings are capable of functioning from cryogenic temperatures to over 2000° F. When selecting a coating, it is very important that the coating have the correct formulation to provide you the needed temperature advantage. The temperature ranges for some of our solid film lubricants:


Coating Type Temperature
In Air
Temperature In inert environment
MoS2 Cryogenic to 750° F Cryogenic to 1200° F
Graphite Cryogenic to 1200° F Cryogenic to 2000° F
PTFE -150° F to 500° F N/A
Microseal® Thin Film Coatings -423° F to 2000° F N/A
