Mixtures of materials designed to be applied to a part or product to enhance the appearance and/or protect it. Specific advantages include lower friction, dry lubrication for sensitive applications where conventional lubricants cannot be used, continuous self-lubrication of assemblies, increased efficiency/quieter operation/reduced downtime, resistance to corrosive environments for more reliable part operation, accurate control of dimensions and uniform coverage of all areas, and resistance to wear and galling for extended component life.
