 Piston Anti-Friction Coatings
Improve fuel economy and reduce
piston-and-ring wear and noise
To achieve improved fuel efficiency and engine
performance, choose
 Molykote
anti-friction coatings
(AFCs) from Dow Corning for lubricating pistons and rings.
Molykote anti-friction coatings bond strongly with all
metal surfaces to provide long-term lubricity, lower the
coefficient of friction and improve engine performance to
reduce carbon output.
Combined with a specialized application process, these coatings:
-
Reduce metal-to-metal friction, engine noise, scuffing and wear.
-
Provide reliable lubrication without degradation over time.
-
Help lower emissions and reduce fuel usage through more efficient
combustion.
