Liqui Moly LM 51 2-Components 1KG - 4118

LM 51 is a high-performance dry-lubricant film which is anchored fast due to the chemical reaction with the surface of the MoS2 lubricant film. The product is used for treating iron and steel (not high-alloy steel). LM 51 is made up of two components which are mixed together before use.

AREAS OF APPLICATION

• Used as a pre-treatment for difficult cold-form processes
• Used for the manufacture of lead-in layers in bearings, pistons, screws and nuts etc

APPLICATION

• LM 51 is made up of two components which are mixed together shortly before use
• 
  
  Mixing ratio
  82 parts by weight of Component I to 18 parts by weight of Component II This corresponds to 75 parts by volume of Component I to 10 parts by volume of Component II
  
  Before mixing, Component I must be stirred
• The mixture must also be stirred at regular intervals to make sure that the MoS2 is uniformly distributed in the mixture
• 
  
  The mixture when ready should not be stored for more than 5 days
• 
  
  Before application, the components must be clean, free from grease and dry
• LM 51 can be applied by immersion, spraying or brush
• 
  
  The coating thicknesses depend on the treatment time and the treatment temperature
• For immersion, the treatment time should be between 5 and 20 minutes at a treatment temperature of around 60 °C
• LM 51 can also be used at room temperature
• In this case, the immersion time should be 30 minutes
• Thinner coats can also be produced
• 
  
  For spray coatings, it is advisable to apply several thin coats
• 
  
  After the film has dried, a thin film of LM 48 Spray Paste or a corrosion inhibitor oil such as LCP 55 can be applied for long-term protection

PROPERTIES

• Outstanding emergency-running properties
• Very low solvent content
• Cures at room temperature
• Resistant to oil
• Solvent and water
• Outstanding protection against wear
• Even under high loads
