RO-59 COATING - HOUCHENG TAIWAN

Founded in 1982, RO-59，INC, a chemical manufacturer based in the United States, has pioneered a breakthrough in lubrication technology. The company has developed a fluorine-containing water-based lubricant that combines exceptional lubrication durability with a unique method of bonding fluororesin. Upon drying and curing, a thin film (approximately 5 micrometers) is formed on the surface of metals or non-metals.

Revolutionary Breakthrough in Bonded Anti-Wear Coating Lubricants

RO-59 is a groundbreaking solution in bonded lubrication coatings—a water-based fluorine bonded coating. It offers unparalleled lubrication and corrosion resistance. Suitable for situations with friction concerns, the specially formulated RO-59 series is the sole adhesive water-based fluorine lubrication product. Its user-friendly and safe attributes make it ideal for indoor applications. Applying RO-59 takes less than a minute through dipping, brushing, or spraying, and it easily cures at room temperature. RO-59 forms a thin, dry, tightly adhered fluorine lubrication coating on various metals, ceramics, and some plastics. This coating surpasses other non-bonded fluorine options in both lubrication and superior anti-wear properties.

RO-59 is cost-effective, user-friendly, and long-lasting. It features a water-soluble fluorine dry film that provides exceptional adhesion. It comes in a ready-to-use package.

Multifunctional Applications

RO-59 offers a dry film formation that corresponds to lubrication performance, mold release, durability, corrosion resistance, and chemical resistance.

Ease of Use

Due to its low viscosity and water content, RO-59 can be applied by brushing or even simple immersion without requiring specialized equipment. It can also be applied using methods like spraying. Furthermore, RO-59 can easily dry by curing through heating and drying for about 30 minutes at 90°C or by natural drying overnight.

Environmentally Friendly

It is environmentally safe and harmless. Additionally, we do not use any volatile solvents.

Adhesive Performance

RO-59 improves surface contact with objects to form a lubricating solid film with specific adhesive properties (chemical adhesion). It covers metal and non-metal surfaces to create a seamless thin film, providing excellent lubrication and durability.

Benefits of RO-59 products

The uniquely formulated RO-59 product series is specialized for processing, providing extended wear resistance and enhanced lubrication over an extended period. Its strong adhesion properties contribute to its outstanding performance.

The RO-59 product series chemically bonds to the surfaces of metals, ceramics, and plastics, endowing them with special lubrication and long-lasting wear resistance, surpassing the lubrication properties of other coating lubricants, including traditional fluorine impregnation fluids. Currently, no other lubricant, including traditional fluorine impregnation fluids, exhibits the bonding capability to these materials’ surfaces as demonstrated by the RO-59 product series.

Bonding is achieved through chemical adhesion and the “adsorption” of the fluorine gel layer to the surface materials (metals, ceramics, and plastics). The notable advantage is the combined wear resistance and lubrication, far superior to merely applying fluorine to the surface as with traditional fluorine impregnation fluids, greatly enhancing wear resistance in the RO-59.

Surfaces treated with PTFE impregnation fluid are easily stripped of their lubrication layer through scraping, rinsing, and friction. Their lubricating ability is minimal, resulting in wear, corrosion, and component damage. In contrast, the durable coating of RO-59 maintains a low coefficient of friction over an extended period, showcasing significantly superior lubrication capabilities compared to other products.

The RO-59 product series maintains its “adsorption” to metal surfaces without alteration, ensuring long-lasting and exceptional lubrication effects. The bonding layer also significantly enhances lubrication performance, providing a uniform and consistent homogeneous coating fully covering the material’s surface. Moreover, through processes like anodization, hard coating, electroless nickel plating, RO-59 seals surface pores, further enhancing its corrosion resistance.

Use RO-59 to solve the past problems

Traditional fluorine impregnation fluids require excessive time and cost, and the processing must be done outdoors. Inadequate lubrication, poor wear resistance, complex applications, high costs, and more… With RO-59, users realize the benefits of dry fluorine lubrication film.

A wide range of applications from RO-59(DRY FILM)

The RO-59 coating lubricant has a wide range of applications, including areas requiring hardness, dry film lubrication, non-stick properties, food applications, durability, and corrosion resistance. The RO-59 product series has been successfully applied in various environments within its temperature range, where it does not react with chemicals, or in situations where other lubricants are ineffective or not suitable for use.

Correct usage

The application of RO-59 is a straightforward process that can be easily completed indoors without the need for special equipment.

Application Steps:

1. Clean the workpiece thoroughly with a cleaning solution, degreaser, petroleum ether, or other compatible solvent until it is completely clean. (After cleaning, it is recommended to wipe the surface of the workpiece with alcohol to ensure no residual droplets, water spots, or streaks.)

2. Dry the workpiece.

3. Apply RO-59 to the workpiece at room temperature using methods such as immersion, brushing, spraying, or wiping. (If white powder is observed, it indicates over-application. Lightly remove it before baking or allow it to partially dry.)

4. Cure the coated workpiece in an oven at 70-90 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes to enhance the adhesion of the coating. Alternatively, let it air dry at room temperature for over 24 hours. (Using an oven will yield faster and more complete results.)

Application range

The user-friendly RO-59 product series has been successfully applied in various indoor processes, including metalworking, manufacturing, food processing, automotive industry, shipping, aviation, electronics, commercial machinery, scientific instruments, fasteners, bearings, chains, gears, valves, controllers, hydraulics, vacuum systems, motors, flow control valves, cables, rollers, sliding devices, hinges, mold release, brake assemblies, and any place with friction-related issues. It offers a wide range of applications where RO-59 can enhance efficiency.

Common questions

塗佈的厚度

厚度為3u，如須增厚請在完全乾透之後重複塗佈動作。

乾膜有顏色嗎

因為本品為極細的白色粉末狀，形成乾膜之後會有淡淡的不透明感。

塗佈不均勻會影響效果嗎

本品可噴灑或塗抹至物件表面，並形成眼睛跟手指感覺不出的3mu厚度。
如果發現水漬形成即表示塗佈厚度過厚，請在乾燥之前使用乾抹布擦拭掉或回收使用。

塗佈上應該要注意什麼嗎

請務必將工件完全清潔乾淨，不可有任何的殘留或水漬，如此才能確保塗佈的完整度。

耐磨度

請勿使用尖銳物品刮擦，以正常的摩擦狀態下操做可符合大部分使用者的需求。

如何加強耐用度

如果希望覆膜非常穩固則需在室溫乾燥達72小時以上，或使用90度C連續烤30分鐘以上即可。

耐酸鹼的效用如何

RO-59 成分為極細的氟素白色粉末，其效用與氟素是一樣的。
