SamSan SLC Launches 'OXCUS,' a PFAS-Free Industrial Solid Lubricant Coating Brand

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SamSan SLC, a solid lubricant coating manufacturer in Korea with a long-standing history in eco-friendly material science, announced the official launch of its new PFAS-free dry film lubricant brand, the OXCUS Series.

Developed in response to increasingly strict global environmental regulations, OXCUS PFAS-free coating technology is engineered to maintain stable performance under extreme temperatures and heavy loads. The series is gaining attention as a high-performance, sustainable alternative to conventional WS₂ & MoS₂ coating alternatives across aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial machinery sectors.

About OXCUS PFAS-Free Coating

The newly introduced OXCUS Series consists of three product lines designed around specific performance requirements and application needs.

• OXCUS 100 Series – Hybrid Type

A hybrid-type engineered for Automotive & Defense Dry Film Lubrication and aerospace systems requiring exceptional reliability under ultra-high load, high-temperature, and low-temperature environments. The series provides enhanced thermal resistance and wear durability, enabled by advanced OXCUS technology and optimized OXCUS raw materials.

• OXCUS 200 Series – Epoxy Type

A versatile epoxy-based solution applicable to automotive brackets, industrial machinery components, and various general-purpose applications. It offers a balanced combination of environmental compliance, cost-efficiency, coat ability, and corrosion resistance, positioning it as one of the most adaptable PFAS-free industrial coating options on the market.

• OXCUS 300 Series – PAI Type

A high-load, long-life coating designed for bearings, electric motor shafts, sliding components, and friction-intensive systems. Its durability and operational stability make it a strong alternative to traditional WS₂ and MoS₂ coatings, supported by advanced SamSan SLC Series coating materials.

All three lines were developed using a fully PFAS-Free formulation, allowing manufacturers to stay aligned with strengthening fluorine-free regulations in Europe and North America.

Highlights of OXCUS Technology

During development, industrial coating production SamSan SLC applied its proprietary Precision Coating Process to control film-thickness deviation within ±3%, ensuring uniform lubrication layers and minimizing performance variation between components.

Key improvements include a 40% reduction in friction coefficient and 2× increase in wear-life durability. SamSan SLC further optimized the coating process to support multiple substrates including metals, polymers, and composite materials, broadening the industrial applicability of its SamSan SLC PFAS-free lubricant coating solutions.
