Do not add IPA alcohol to Duraglide to “top off” the tank of bath. If add IPA to the formula it will not be “in-spec.” There is no IPA in the carrier fluid formulation, so adding IPA to the Duraglide will by definition put it out of sec. It also would impact the quality of the…

This Comparative Insight from the MicroCare™ Critical Cleaning Lab presents a detailed technical evaluation of Duraglide™ HI and Duraglide™ XF dry lubricants. Conducted under controlled laboratory conditions using validated test methods, this analysis highlights the relative performance, safety, and environmental characteristics of each formulation. By comparing their chemical, physical, and functional properties, this report helps…

The ready-to-use Duraglide™ Dry Lubricant works extremely well on high-speed, high-volume mechanical assembly operations. In this product, PTFE particles are suspended in an nonflammable carrier fluid. Together, they produce a smooth, even coating that minimizes friction between moving parts and reduce actuation forces by 25% - 30%. Duraglide Dry Lubricants are ISO 10993 certified medical-grade…

Stiction is the combination of sticking and friction. As a result of stiction, some medical devices may be difficult to to slide, pivot or twist. Therefore, it's important to reduce stiction during medical device manufacturing. This animation explains the process of coating parts with the Duraglide lubricant to reduce stiction. Note: the video is silent,…

In a perfect world, every component would be manufactured exactly to specification. But perfection drives costs higher so it makes sense to accommodate variations — tolerances —as long as they do not compromise the finished assembly.But there is a catch. If a device features four or five nested components, the components may be at the…
