The Polymer used in the Impregnation process is a long chain, highly cross linked polymer with a dense molecular structure blended with an organic penetrating agent. It is used to impregnate metallic substrates and coatings to improve surface performance. The Polymer is impregnated into the micro-crystalline structure of the metal and is molecularly bonded there. The Polymer completely seals off the substrate and imparts time release lubricity and continuous corrosion resistance improving the life and performance of the part.
