The Secret to Effortless Performance

Friction occurs when two surfaces slide against one another, measured by the amount of drag (force) that takes place. Friction causes heat, wear and loss of energy in dynamic applications. In severe circumstances, friction can cause overheating and seizure. Through the application of coatings, these coefficients of friction can measure as low as 0.02.

​

Our coating solutions range offer lubrication without the need for additional oils and greases. Forming a solid film over the component, reduce friction and wear by preventing direct contact between mating parts. Coating performance depends upon the specific lubricant used.​​

​

Originally, low-friction solids were used for applications where sliding parts were heavily loaded, infrequently lubricated or operated at high temperatures. As friction modification coatings have developed, other properties have been designed in — including outstanding corrosion resistance.

Today, when mechanical parts operate under a range of conditions, the range not only offers protection from friction but also a range of other properties as required in various markets. Most low-friction coatings cannot survive or adapt to the changing parameters of hostile environments. Learn more.

Why Dry Lubricant?

A dry lubricant is an ideal solution for wet parts as it repels, breaks down deposits, and ensures smooth machine operation. Its tough and durable film layer reduces friction and wear on moving parts. With its resistance to dirt, water, corrosion, dust, and high pressure, you can save on maintenance and lubricant consumption. Learn more.

Advantages of Dry Lubricant 

Coatings with friction modification properties have many advantages:

• Maintain component properties under extreme conditions

• Consistent friction coating performance whilst maintaining other functions such as abrasion, wear and exposure to corrosive environments, etc.

• Maintain component longevity under duress and exposure

• Efficiency of coating and component performance

• Friction performance adapts under extreme temperature ranges
