BONDERITE M-MN LUBRITE 2
Harmonization Code : 3403.19 | Lubricating Preparations (With 70% or More Petroleum Oils) For Automotive and Other Uses

Main features
- Oil-Absorptive Phosphate Lubricating Coating
- Rapid Break-In and Reduced Scuffing
- Corrosion-Resistant Oil-Finishing Surface
Product Description
BONDERITE® M-MN LUBRITE 2 is a manganese phosphate conversion coating formulated to produce nonmetallic, oil-absorptive coatings on iron and steel bearing surfaces. The resulting iron and manganese phosphate coating improves lubrication, reduces wear during component break-in, enhances corrosion resistance, and provides an excellent surface for oil finishing on precision mechanical components such as pistons, piston rings, liners, camshafts, tappets, and engine blocks.
Key Features
- Produces oil-absorptive iron and manganese phosphate coatings for improved lubrication.
- Reduces wear during component break-in by minimizing metal-to-metal contact.
- Retards corrosion while providing an excellent surface for oil finishing.
- Helps remove light machining scratches during the phosphating process.
- Designed for precision iron and steel bearing surfaces.
Applications / Suitable for
- Pistons
- Piston rings
- Cylinder liners
- Camshafts
- Tappets
- Motor blocks
- Iron and steel bearing surfaces
