BONDERITE® S-FN M 254N

BONDERITE® S-FN M 254N is one of a series of Henkel’s Acheson resin- bonded lubricant coatings designed to provide dry film lubrication in a variety of industrial, consumer and military applications. BONDERITE® S-FN M 254N is a synergistic combination of MoS2 and other lubricants dispersed in an epoxy resin solution. BONDERITE® S-FN M 254N can be applied by standard brush, dip-spin, or spray techniques. BONDERITE® S-FN M 254N provides lifetime lubrication and good corrosion resistance for components which are inaccessible after assembly, but nevertheless must continue to function reliably. BONDERITE® S-FN M 254N provides an effective performance, even as a very thin film (0.0003 inch or 8 microns), thus there is little interference with operating tolerances.

  • Usage Information:
    • Surface Preparation
      • The performance obtained by a coating of BONDERITE® S-FN M 254N depends on the care given to substrate preparation, application, and curing. The following pretreatments are recommended:
        • Steel: Grit or vapor blast, degrease and chemically pretreat with treat with Bonderite M-ZN 20 (know as Granodine 20), Bonderite M-MN 2 (known as Lubrite 2), or equivalent
        • Stainless Steel: Grit or vapor blast, degrease.
        • Aluminum: Degrease or solvent clean and pretreat with Bonderite M-CR 1200S (known as Alodine 1200S). Coating may also be applied over anodized surface.
        • Copper Alloys: Degrease or solvent clean, grit blast, or chemically pretreat .
    • Mixing
      • BONDERITE® S-FN M 254N lubricant is supplied as a one-component concentrate at a solids concentration of 55 percent. Dilution depends on the method of application to be used and the coating thickness desired. A 1:1 blend of toluene and MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) can be used as a diluent. Mixing is best accomplished by mechanical agitation.
    • Application
      • BONDERITE® S-FN M 254N may be applied by spray, dip-spin, or brush methods according to individual application requirements.
      • For spray application, external atomizing type spray guns are recommended
      • Adjust the spray gun to provide a well-atomized spray at 25 to 40 psi (1.8 to 2.8 kg/sq cm) air pressure. For maximum corrosion resistance, apply multiple thin coats with a ten-minute air dry period between coats to minimize pin holes. Oven curing is required only after the final coat of lubricant is applied.
      • Note: It is recommended that an agitator-type spray cup be used to maintain product suspension.
    • Curing
      • A normal cure schedule is a cure of 60 minutes at 149°C. However, performance may be improved with a cure of 60 minutes at 204°C. For example, this cure cycle increases the Falex endurance life.
