ABSTRACT:
A padding powder suspension or slurry and method for applying a padding powder for lubricating components of printing, copy and facsimile machines such as the photoreceptor drum, photoreceptor belt, wiper and doctor blade. The padding powder is comprised of a mica-group mineral or a mixture of a mica-group mineral and calcium stearate. The method comprises mixing the padding powder with a solvent, for example alcohol, to form a different substance. The mica-group mineral is inert so it does not dissolve in the alcohol. A suspension agent or surfactant may also be mixed with the padding powder and alcohol to keep the padding powder suspended in the alcohol for a longer period of time. The resulting suspension or slurry is then applied on the components. The suspension or slurry may easily be applied with brushes, spray devices, sponge materials or a soft cloth. After the suspension or slurry is evenly applied on the components, the solvent and suspension agent evaporates and the padding powder dries to a thin residue. The result is an evenly distributed lubricant in the correct amount for optimum performance of the component, with no mess or waste of padding powder.
