Most advanced sliding coating that redefines performance
CERAKOTE® is proud to introduce its latest innovation in high-performance surface coatings: a unique ceramic technology-based lubricant coating: DFL-200. PFAS-free and designed for long-lasting durability, efficiency, and protection.
Thanks to a formulation based on advanced ceramic and solid lubricant systems, this new coating delivers exceptional performance in high-friction and heavy-wear environments—completely without the use of fluoropolymers or PFAS compounds.
Unmatched smoothness
Independent tests confirm what performance engineers have been waiting for: DFL-200 is over 40% more slippery than Teflon®.
This remarkable reduction in surface resistance—achieved through a precisely tuned formulation of ceramic and solid lubricants—leads to smoother component movement, increased mechanical efficiency, and drastically lower friction coefficients.
Performance Benefits
- Extremely low friction: tested by independent laboratories using TRB³ tests according to ASTM G99-17 and ASTM G133 standards. The results show that DFL-200 has a significantly lower coefficient of friction (COF) by over 40% compared to Teflon®
- Excellent wear resistance: withstands extreme contact stresses, abrasion, and mechanical strain, thereby extending the service life of components
- REACH/RoHS compliant: PFAS-free formulation that meets modern regulatory requirements without compromising performance
- Outstanding chemical resistance
- Excellent alternative to products from Molykote®, Teflon®, and Xylan®
Developed for the highest demands and requirements
From aerospace systems to firearms to automotive components and industrial machinery: DFL-200 was developed to deliver top performance exactly where precision, reliability, and protection are critical.
- Aerospace: low-friction, outgassing-free coating for critical assemblies
- Defense technology: durable surface finishing for heavily used weapons and equipment
- Automotive & e-mobility: ideal for lightweight, highly efficient drive systems
- Industry & robotics: smooth motion under heavy load – without contamination risk
Developed for new production efficiencies
Its state-of-the-art formulation features a fast curing time and a low-temperature curing process; this optimizes manufacturing processes while setting new standards in performance and efficiency. The coating is easy to apply, cures evenly, and integrates seamlessly into both small-batch and large-scale production workflows.
For manufacturers seeking next-generation friction control and surface protection, CERAKOTE® DFL-200 offers a proven, high-performance, and PFAS-free solution that provides over 40% greater lubricity than Teflon®.
