Orapi 702 Graphane Graphite Based Lubricating Spray 650 ml

Orapi 702 Graphane is an aerosol technical spray that provides graphite-based dry film lubrication. It is used on surfaces where a lower coefficient of friction is required and stands out from conventional oils and greases thanks to its non-dust-retaining structure. While providing dry lubrication on metal and certain plastic surfaces, it also offers notable properties such as high temperature resistance and electrical conductivity. ORAPI is an industrial maintenance chemicals brand manufacturing in France, and the product is also available in a 650 mL aerosol can.

Orapi 702 Graphane Technical Properties

This graphite-based technical spray forms a dry and uniform film on the surface thanks to its micronized graphite content. According to the technical data sheet, the product is a fast-drying black liquid with an operating temperature range of -70 °C to +900 °C and a coefficient of friction below 0.05. A graphite content of over 80% in the dry film is one of the main features supporting its dry lubrication performance. In addition, the 5-micron graphite particle size is important for fine distribution and controlled coating on the surface. Its dust-repellent nature is also a key advantage that supports clean operation in maintenance and assembly environments.

Chemical Structure and Performance Profile

The product is a dry lubricant based on micronized graphite and is applied through a solvent-carried aerosol system. Its chemically inert structure and resistance to degradation at high temperatures support its use under demanding process conditions. As a technical spray, it reduces friction on metal and plastic parts while also helping protect against contact corrosion and premature wear. Its electrical conductivity distinguishes it from conventional dry lubricants in certain specialized industrial applications. Its recommendation especially for stainless steel to stainless steel assemblies indicates its performance on precisely matched surfaces.

Application Method and Compatible Surfaces

Before application, the aerosol can should be shaken well each time. The product is applied in a thin layer to assembly surfaces, moving metal parts, certain plastic components, mould surfaces, and connection points requiring dry lubrication. Thanks to its strong adhesion to the surface, it forms a uniform film and operates without creating additional contamination. Due to its technical spray structure, it offers practical use especially in dusty environments where oils and greases are unsuitable, in lock mechanisms, mould release applications, and on moving matched parts. Its stable appearance and consistency even at low temperatures also provide an advantage in variable environmental conditions.

Areas of Use and Industrial Advantages

This technical spray is suitable for use in assembly workshops, maintenance and repair sites, general machinery manufacturing, energy and process industries, and dusty production environments. The documents specifically mention nuclear industry applications, pellet stove screw conveyor mechanisms, and highly particulate environments such as flour, sand, cement, and glass wool, as well as mould release processes. It is preferred for dry lubrication on adjustment parts, jigs, ejector pins, and metal-plastic components exposed to friction. Its main advantages include not attracting dust, operating across a wide temperature range, offering electrical conductivity, adhering strongly to the surface, and being suitable for stainless steel assembly applications. The product’s PMUC approval information and compliance with MIL L 26548 also provide a concise but valuable reference for applications where technical requirements are critical.
