Developed as part of NASA’s space exploration program, Dicronite® dry lubrication is the proven trusted dry lubrication technology for the aerospace, plastics molding, medical devices, mechanical equipment, semiconductor and food processing industries. The Dicronite dry lubrication process complies with DOD-L-85645A and SAE AMS 2530A specifications as well as many company specific specifications. Lubrication Sciences International (LSI) provides Dicronite dry lubricant and licenses the Dicronite dry lubrication process. Today, LSI and its licensees operate facilities around the world, providing proven, high performance dry film lubrication. Overview Key to Dicronite dry lubrication’s wide range of applications are its: • Ultra-low coefficient of friction (u=0.030) • Precision film thickness of 0.5 microns maximum (0.000020 inches) • Wide functional temperature span – 188C to +538C (up to +1316C in vacuum) • Near ambient temperature (max 35C) application process Based on these key values, Dicronite dry lubrication is proven world-wide for: • Friction and wear reduction • Anti-seize / anti-galling / anti-fretting • Plastic mold release and flow enhancement • Co-lubrication enhancement in combination with oils and greases • Co-deposit with Ni, Cr, Ti and many other coatings • In place of conventional lubricants in high-vacuum/temperature situations

AVIATION Dicronite dry lubrication is valued by the aviation industry for its ultra-low friction (u=0.030), precision tolerances (maximum 0.5 micron thickness) and wide temperature range (-188C to +538C), as well as its low temperature application process that does not affect the more exotic metals used in cutting-edge defense applications. Meets AMS2530 and DOD-L-85645A specifications. AS9100 certified and NADCAP accredited facilities. Companies including Boeing, EADS, General Dynamics and Parker Hannifin use Dicronite dry lubrication for: • Hydraulic valve and connector lubrication • Anti-galling/anti-seize protection for connectors, fasteners and rivets • Flanges and couplings in fueling systems ‘Space’ sub-section Dicronite dry lubrication’s extreme temperature range (-188C to +1316 in 10-14 torr vacuum), extremely low outgassing (10x or more below ASTM E595 criteria), precision tolerance (maximum 0.5 micron thickness) and radiation stability are key to its wide use in space. Meets AMS2530 and DOD-L-85645A specifications. AS9100 certified and NADCAP accredited facilities. Companies and organizations including NASA, Raytheon, Lockheed-Martin and the Max Planck Institute use Dicronite dry lubrication for: • Instrument deployment device lubrication on the Mars Explorer Rover • Precision roller bearings in satellites • Linear and rotational cryogenic actuators in infrared detectors PLASTICS Dicronite dry lubrication’s proven ability to increase flow and speed-up release, resulting from its high lubricity (u=0.030) and precision tolerance (0.5 microns max.), coupled with low application temperature, high temperature stability and non flaking properties, make it the plastics industries key dry lubrication technology. ISO-10993 biocompatible for medical plastic molding. Companies including GE Plastics, Tyco, Bemis, Hayward Industries Plastics, and Univac use Dicronite dry lubrication for: • Reducing reject rates for low draft or undercut parts such as caps and closures • Reducing cycle times due to improved release • Increasing uptime due to less wear on pins, bushings and mold surfaces • As a co-deposit to improve the performance of TiN, CrN, CrC, and other surface treatments MEDICAL/PHARMACEUTICAL With its compliance to ISO-10993 biocompatibility and USP Class 6 standards, and resistance to aggressive sterilization procedures including autoclave and gamma radiation, Dicronite dry lubrication provides reliable, proven performance for the medical and pharmaceutical industry. Meets AMS2530 and DOD-L-85645A specifications. AS9100 certified, NADCAP accredited, ISO-13485 compliant facilities. Widely used for medical plastic molding applications. Companies including W.L. Gore, Medtronic, BD, Unilever and Novo Nordisk use Dicronite dry lubrication for: • Producing sophisticated precision molded drug delivery devices • Increasing production line throughput by reducing container sticking in sorting and filling equipment • Decreasing friction in endosurgery tools and insertion devices • Eliminating galling and binding during precision assembly of tight tolerance devices • Lubricating valves, fluid pump components and threaded connectors to reduce friction and wear
