Thrust Cage Bearings Release coatings can be applied to thrust cage bearings that operate in the compressor of air conditioning units to ensure uninhibited starting after sitting idle for extended periods of time. DECC applies Whitford’s Xylan 1052 on these particular components.

Wheel Assembly Washers Dry film lubricants are applied to enclosed transmission washers where traditional greases cannot be utilized, ultimately decreasing noise, increasing part performance and reducing harmful friction that contributes to premature component failure. DECC applies four different Xylan 1014 colors on such washers for not only functionality but for identification purposes at the point of assembly.

Brake Clips Abrasion resistant coatings that also exhibit release properties are used on brake clips to eliminate squeaks and groans associated with braking and vibrations. DECC applies Henkel Bonderite S-FN 333 currently on brake clips. This coating, chosen by DECC in development, performed so well that the testing machine was shut off before any sign of coating failure.
