SLIP Plate® History

Asbury Carbons dry film technology was first created in 1975 when
railroad maintenance engineers searched for a remedy to the problem of lubricating switch
plates for railroad tracks. SLIP Plate® was created as
an original solution – a dry film lubricant that was Slippery When Dry®.

Asbury Carbons makes many products using this technology to help
perform some amazing tasks. For agricultural and industrial applications we created SLIP
Plate® No. 1 (Heavy Duty), No. 3 (Quick Dry), and No. 4 (Eco-Friendly) – lubricants which reduce sliding friction
when applied on hay elevators, gravity wagons, rollers and other equipment. Seed SLIK™
Graphite, Talc and Blend (of graphite and
talc) were formulated to ease seed flow during planting while SLIP Plate® Cold Oven Chain and Hot Oven Chain Lubricants – to prolong the life of conveyor chains
and reduce noise.

MowerGUARD™ Graphite aids in preventing wet grass clippings
from accumulation under lawn mowers. Black Ice™ Graphite is
used in gun and fire-fighting equipment maintenance. A high-quality graphite powder Tube-O-Lube®, SLIP Plate®
Aerosol, Chain & Cable, and Penetrant Plus aerosols were created for house and other
lubrication purposes.

Quality

SLIP Plate® products use high quality graphite powders
from certified and qualified sources to produce the highest level of coating protection.
Competitive products may make claims that they are equal in performance, but experience in
the field and in the lab show that they are not the same and may even scratch and increase
damage of your equipment due to lower quality of graphite.

Consistency

product backed by a company with over 90 years of manufacturing excellence and production
know-how. SLIP Plate® is the original graphite dry-film coating, and was the first to
help save farmers money replacing equipment that prematurely failed.

for agriculture today.
