A magnetic disk drive having a layer of ZTMD raffinate coated within a housing of the disk drive to trap debris in order to prevent contamination related failure of the disk drive. The ZTMD raffinate can be applied to the inside of the housing of the disk drive, such as to side walls of the housing and or the cover of the housing. The ZTMD raffinate can also be applied to a filter structure within the housing in order improve the performance of the filter structure and prevent contamination collected thereon from becoming dislodged.
