Product Name
Quality Aerosols Slick Kote Anti-Friction Coating 11 oz QUA01389
Brief Description
Quality Aerosols Slick Kote is a dry lubricating film designed to bond to metal surfaces, creating a super slick, anti-friction coating. It is primarily used for woodworking equipment and general shop tools to reduce friction and facilitate material movement. This coating also provides corrosion resistance and is formulated without petroleum oils or silicones, ensuring it will not interfere with finishes or glues.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Reduces sliding friction on table saws, rip saws, band saws, shapers, and jointers.- Enhances movement of wood and other materials across tool surfaces, such as drill presses.- Protects saw blades and other cutting tools.- Reduces friction on laminate, metal, and plastic surfaces.- Makes cleanup and stock movement easier in workshop environments.- Inhibits rust and protects tools and equipment from corrosion.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Cabinet & Woodworking- General Manufacturing (for tool maintenance and shop efficiency)- Prosumer (for DIY enthusiasts and home workshops)- Distributers & Resellers- Industrial Supply
Special and Unique Features
- Forms a dry lubricating film upon application.- Bonds directly to metal surfaces for a durable, super slick finish.- Contains no petroleum oils or silicones.- Will not interfere with wood finishes or glues.- VOC compliant (CARB/OTC).- Made in USA.
Key Properties
- Provides anti-friction properties.- Offers corrosion resistance and rust inhibition.- Delivers dry film lubrication.- Non-staining on wood and finishes.- Significantly reduces sliding friction.- Improves material handling and movement.- Facilitates easier cleanup of dust and debris.
Surface Compatibility
- Metal surfaces (e.g., cast iron, steel)- Laminate surfaces- Plastic surfaces- Suitable for tools used with wood, without affecting the wood itself.
Known backups / known substitutes

Comparison Note
Quality Aerosols Slick Kote stands out as a dry, non-oily, and non-silicone anti-friction coating that bonds effectively to surfaces. It offers a cleaner lubrication solution compared to traditional wet lubricants or paste waxes. Its formulation is specifically designed not to interfere with wood finishes or glues, making it particularly advantageous for woodworking applications where such concerns are paramount. While general-purpose dry film lubricants exist, Slick Kote's product description and marketing are strongly focused on enhancing the performance and maintenance of woodworking and general shop tools.
