Micronkote 207
Micronkote 207 is a solvent-based dry film lubricant coating formulated with MoS2-based solid lubricants, organic binders and solvents. It cures at 235 °C for 45 minutes into a grey, durable film with a recommended dry film thickness of 5-23 µm, and is designed to provide permanent lubrication on metal-to-metal contact surfaces operating at slow to moderate speeds under medium to high loads.
The coating is suitable for applications where the use of conventional oil or grease lubrication is impractical or undesirable. The cured film provides high resistance to pressure and wear, keeps its lubricating function from -60 °C to +250 °C, and helps protect metal surfaces against corrosion.

What is Micronkote 207?
Micronkote 207 is a grey, solvent-based dry film lubricant coating formulated with MoS2-based solid lubricants, organic binders and solvents. It is supplied as a liquid, applied by spray gun, and cured at 235 °C for 45 minutes to leave a durable dry film with a recommended thickness of 5-23 µm.
It is used to provide permanent lubrication on metal-to-metal contact surfaces where the use of conventional oil or grease lubrication is impractical or undesirable, or where contamination caused by oil or grease must be avoided. Micronkote 207 is part of the Micronkote dry film lubricant range.
The product is primarily designed for application on metal surfaces, particularly metal-to-metal friction pairs. It does not provide adequate adhesion on polymeric surfaces, so its use on plastic and other polymer-based surfaces is not recommended. Prior to application, the compatibility of the coating with the surface should be evaluated and confirmed under the intended application and operating conditions.
What it is
A MoS2-based dry film lubricant coating, supplied as a solvent-based liquid and heat-cured into a grey, durable film of 5-23 µm.
What it solves
Friction and wear on metal-to-metal contact surfaces under medium to high loads, where oil or grease lubrication is impractical or undesirable.
Where it is used
Metal-to-metal contact surfaces and friction pairs operating at slow to moderate sliding speeds under medium to high loads.
Why a dry film
The lubricant is bonded to the surface instead of held as a fluid film, avoids the contamination caused by oil or grease, and stays functional from -60 °C to +250 °C.
How Dry Film Lubrication Works
MoS2-based solid lubricants are carried in organic binders and solvents. Cured at 235 °C for 45 minutes, the binder anchors them to the prepared substrate as a continuous grey film of 5-23 µm.
MoS2-based solid lubrication reduces friction between metal surfaces and provides durable protection under high contact pressure and demanding wear conditions.
The cured film helps protect metal surfaces against corrosion, with salt spray resistance of 48 h at Rating No. 9 (0.25 mm mean creep).

Applications
Designed for metal-to-metal contact surfaces and friction pairs, including mechanical components operating at slow to moderate sliding speeds.
Suitable for sliding surfaces subjected to medium to high loads and for mechanisms operating under heavy-load conditions.
Particularly suitable for friction pairs operating under high contact pressure and low-speed conditions, and for applications involving low sliding speeds or oscillating motion.
For components requiring permanent dry-film lubrication, and for applications where the use of conventional oil or grease is impractical or undesirable or where contamination caused by oil or grease must be avoided.
Suitable for spray application and for metal components requiring coating in series production processes.
Surface Preparation and Application
Curing Conditions
Cure the coated parts in an oven for 45 minutes at 235 °C. Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned, dry and free from oil and grease before application. Recoating or additional surface treatment of the fully cured coating is not recommended; coated surfaces should preferably be left as the final functional surface.
