The DuraGlide™ XC dry film lubricants use a different, onflammable, proprietary carrier agent to lubricate at a lower cost than the XF dry film lubricant products. The same range of concentrations of PTFE solids is available. Nonflammable and plastic-safe, these lubricants are easy to handle, but with a slightly reduced range of materials compatibility. Less expensive than the XF series, the DuraGlide™ XC dry film products are solely used with PTFE–based coatings.  These blends are safe for people, safe for the environment, nonflammable and completely inert on all types of plastics. Select the DuraGlide™ XC dry film lubricants when cost and compatibility are equally critical. Other benefits include:

o Superior stability (“hang time”) with minimal agitation
o Easy, nonflammable handling, storage and use
o A non-nutritive environment inimical to biologic growth
o Minimal capital investment
o Non-migrating deposition
o Compatible with most sterilization procedures
o Excellent environmentally, including “SNAP”-approved
o MicroCare is ISO 9001-2008 registered

IMPORTANT NOTE: The DuraGlide™ XC dry film dips can be produced in concentrated form for customers who wish to minimize freight costs and/or mix their own carrier agents. It also can be produced in any ready-to-use concentration up to 15% solids, as specified by the customer, which minimizes handling and the potential for errors.
