A 95-year-old graphite company is reaching out to let more industries know about the advantages of their dry film lubricants.

SLIP Plate is a Superior Graphite product that was developed in 1975 for the railroad industry as a natural lubricant that would stand up to weather and other environmental conditions. The dry film coating was not affected by temperature extremes, and did not attract dirt, grit, ice, water or snow. Additional SLIP Plate formulations were developed to meet the needs of the railroads, along with agricultural, industrial and consumer uses. The company’s slogan is “If it needs to slide, roll, turn, twist or spin – it’s a job for SLIP Plate®!”

One product specifically created for the agriculture market is Seed SLIK which has been engineered to reduce seed binding and bridging in planter hoppers and lubricate the mechanical parts of the planter without hurting the seeds. Barry Lee, Product Manager Coatings & Lubricants for Superior Graphite, says they are working to re-introduce the agricultural market to SLIP Plate and one of the ways they’re doing this is with the launch of the SLIP Plate® Facebook Sweepstakes.
