Google search on Molykote 3402C

First hit on the list is for ellesworth.com

Click into that, scroll down and open the PDF datasheet document for the product from Dow... :smile:

Well, I hate being an idiot but I have been there and those brochures and things shown do not list a "K" factor that I can find. I did not even find a definitive mu (coeff of friction) in any of Dow's literature. I have asked Dow and am waiting to hear from them but thought I'd ask here also...

thanks
 
Is this the kind of thing you are looking for? Or were you looking for something different?
