Get The MoST® Production
For Your Coating Dollar.
Punch with MoST Coating MoST® is an exclusive PVD solid lubricant coating, available from Dayton Progress. It provides a combination of lubricity and wear resistance not available from other PVD or CVD techniques. Composed of sulfur and molybdenum, MoST is designed to produce a coefficient of friction lower than other surface coatings.

MoST coating improves production dramatically on stainless and spring steels. It is ideal for aluminum, prepainted and galvanized steels as well, because of it's low coefficient of friction.


What can you expect from MoST?

  • Increased wear resistance resulting in reduced downtime.
  • Reduced galling (pick-up) in pre-painted/coated/galvanized steel due to it's extremely low coefficient of friction
  • Available on M2 and PS punches and pilots from Dayton Progress.
  • Eliminate the need for lubrication in many applications.

  
These are actual performance improvements by satisfied customers using MoST Coating.
