Dry lubricating coatings, also known as anti-friction coatings, offer many advantages over traditional oils in applications with high temperatures, special hygiene requirements, or in high-load industrial machinery components. Our specialty friction coatings help optimize the coefficient of friction and sliding properties of components for longer service life.
Overview: Norbert Lubricants' dry lubricating coatings
- Longer service life: Our specialty low-friction coatings optimize the friction coefficient and sliding performance of components, reducing maintenance costs.
- Health and safety requirements are high: normal lubricants may drip from friction points, while dry lubricating coatings can form a strong and clean lubricating layer.
- High thermal stability: dry lubricating coatings can be used at temperatures above 300C.
- High-performance solutions: Capabilities and expertise are derived from 90 years of research and development and experience.
What is a dry lubricating coating?
Dry lubricating coatings or anti-friction coatings can form a uniform dry low-friction lubricating layer on various materials and parts.
The composition of dry lubricating coatings is similar to that of color coatings, except that instead of pigments, one or more solid lubricants are used. The important components of low-friction dry lubricating coatings are:
Solid lubricants: polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), boron nitride, graphite or a combination of different solid lubricants.
Adhesive: Organic or inorganic, containing 1 or 2 ingredients
Solvent: organic solvent or water
Because it is dry lubrication, it has strong adhesion.
Dry lubrication has always been ideal for industrial applications that require a clean, full-life lubricant. Dry lubrication coatings can also be used for ultra-low temperatures or ultra-high temperatures above 300 ° C.
Unlike other lubricants, dry lubricating coatings or anti-friction coatings create a uniform adhesion layer on parts. The clean lubricating layer does not wash off and does not need to be renewed (i.e. full-life lubrication), which optimizes production conditions and effectively reduces maintenance costs.
Advantages of dry lubricating coatings:
- Completely cover the parts to form a uniform lubricating layer
- Because it is dry lubrication, it will not cause pollution.
- Reduced friction, stable friction coefficient
- Can prevent or reduce noise (no sticky slip)
- Suitable for ultra-high and ultra-low temperatures
- Reliable full-life lubrication
