BONDERITE® S-FN 329

BONDERITE® S-FN 329 ACHESON is a fast-drying, resin bonded, fluorocarbon dry film lubricant capable of coating wood, metal, rubber, plastic, and glass substrates. It is designed for low-friction, light load, repetitive stresses. Moving parts wear longer, work harder, and need less maintenance when coated with this product. BONDERITE® S-FN 329 ACHESON cures at room temperature, allowing application where conventional sintered PTFE coatings cannot be considered. The coefficient of friction (static) when the coating is properly applied ranges from 0.06 to 0.09. A coating thickness of 0.0002 to 0.0007 inches (0.0051 to 0.0178 millimeters) generally provides the optimum low friction properties. BONDERITE® S-FN 329 ACHESON is a liquid concentrate that can be diluted according to need. Although Emralon® products are not specifically designed as protective coatings, they do offer moderate resistance to chemicals.

    Application and Usage Information
    • Product Application:
      • Sealed systems
      • Solenoid plungers
      • Piano actions
      • Window guides
      • Moving furniture parts
      • Storage bins
      • Tools
      • Moving parts (wood, metal, fabric, plastic, rubber)
    • Usage Information:
      • Surface Preparation
        • Substrates should be clean and dry. A light sanding with #120 grit sandpaper or Emery cloth followed by a solvent wipe and air dry is usually sufficient to key the surface properly. However, if maximum adhesion is required, the combination of cleaning and surface pre-treatment by mechanical or chemical means is essential. Suggested methods of pretreatment for maximum adhesion are as follows:
          • Wood : Sand lightly and wipe clean
          • Steel : Degrease, sand or vapor blast and/or phosphate coat
          • Stainless steel : Degrease, sand or vapor blast
          • Copper alloys : Degrease, sand or vapor blast, dilute nitric acid drip, water rinse
          • Aluminum : Degrease, sand or vapor blast
          • Rubber : Degrease, using appropriate solvent
          • Plastics : Degrease, using appropriate solvent and/or light sanding
      • Mixing
        • BONDERITE S-FN 329 ACHESON (known as EMRALON 329) is supplied as a concentrate. Mix BONDERITE® S-FN 329 ACHESON thoroughly. To dilute, add Acheson SB-1 solvent extender and mix thoroughly. Dilution ratios of 3:1 to 1:1 (product:diluent) are recommended. The 1:1 ratio is recommended for dip applications.
      • Application
        • BONDERITE® S-FN 329 ACHESON can be applied by conventional spray, dip, or brush techniques. For heavy coats it is better to make multiple light passes than to apply a single heavy coat, allowing a few minutes for air drying between passes. Electrostatic spray methods may also be used. If small parts are dip coated, they should be spun or tumbled to prevent formation of tears or runs and to minimize sticking. Coating thickness should not exceed 0.0007 inches (17.8 μm).
        • Application to plastic or fabric may cause the substrate to swell or soften temporarily. In most cases, plastic regains its original dimensions upon drying. Often the solvent action of the carrier etches the substrate, promoting increased coating adhesion.
        • The following equipment is recommended for spraying BONDERITE® S-FN 329 ACHESON:
        • DeVilbiss Type MBC #510 GUN (or equivalent)
        • #36 Nozzle
        • 30-50 psi (2-4 metric atmospheres) air pressure
        • After use, flush gun with sb-1, acheson thermoplastic resin extender, to prevent clogging.
      • Curing
        • BONDERITE® S-FN 329 ACHESON coating will dry to the touch in about 5 minutes and is dry enough to handle in 20 to 30 minutes, depending of film thickness. Optimum hardness for operation is reached in two hours. Slight warming  not over 66°Cwill shorten the total curing period to approximately 15 minutes depending on thickness of application and substrate. Application during periods of high humidity may increase opacity or blush, and exposure to strong sunlight may cause darkening, but neither phenomenon adversely affects coating performance.
