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.

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 |
