Most advanced slide coating that redefines performance
CERAKOTE® is proud to introduce its latest innovation in high-performance surface coatings: a low-friction coating based on our unique ceramic technology: DFL-200. PFAS-free and developed for long-term durability, efficiency, and protection.
Thanks to a formulation based on advanced ceramic and solid lubricant systems, this new coating offers exceptional performance in high-friction and high-wear environments – without the use of fluoropolymers or PFAS compounds.
Unrivaled glide
Independent tests confirm what performance engineers have been waiting for: DFL-200 is over 40% more lubricious than Teflon®.
This remarkable reduction in surface resistance – achieved through a precisely tuned formulation of ceramics and solid lubricants – leads to smoother component movement, increased mechanical efficiency, and drastically lower coefficients of friction.
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 loads, abrasion, and mechanical stress, extending component life
- REACH/RoHS compliant: PFAS-free formulation that meets modern regulatory requirements without compromising performance
- Superior chemical resistance
- Excellent alternative to Molykote®, Teflon®, and Xylan® products
Developed for the highest demands and requirements
From aerospace systems and firearms to automotive components and industrial machinery, DFL-200 is engineered to excel where precision, reliability, and protection are paramount.
- Aerospace: Low-friction, non-outgassing coating for critical assemblies
- Defense: Durable finish for high-stress weapons and equipment
- Automotive & E-Mobility: Ideal for lightweight, high-efficiency drive systems
- Industrial & Robotics: Smooth movement under high loads – without contamination risk
Engineered for new production efficiencies
Its state-of-the-art formulation features a fast cure time and a low-temperature curing process, optimizing manufacturing processes while setting new standards in terms of 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 with over 40% greater lubricity than Teflon®.
