Elemental Solutions for Space Age Challenges
I-KOTE
i-Kote is an advanced solid film nano-composite lubricant with a unique ability to adapt to its operating environment. i-Kote can be applied to metals, plastics, carbides, ceramics, and other engineered surfaces. There are no binders or curing required however the coating is molecularly bonded to the substrate ensuring no cracking, peeling, or chipping. i-Kote maintains the unique distinction of being the only solid film lubricant to be tribometer tested in space and is currently being used in countless mechanisms in orbit.
