LubriOne ™ lubricated and wear-resistant compounds have been specifically formulated to be self-lubricating materials, offering a low coefficient of friction and improved wear resistance properties. These materials combine the unique benefits of internal lubricants such as PTFE, silicone and molybdenum disulfide with a wide array of base engineering resins.
Key Characteristics
The primary benefits of LubriOne compounds include excellent wear resistance; reduced friction, heat buildup, noise and vibration; lower power requirements; low maintenance; design flexibility; and reduced weight.
Additional Product Information
The following lubricants and reinforcements enhance the performance of LubriOne compounds.
Lubricants:
- PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) offers the lowest coefficient of friction of any internal lubricant, and results in significantly lower wear rates than traditional plastics.
- Silicone behaves primarily as a boundary lubricant, and significantly reduces wear rates and coefficients of friction when compounded into thermoplastics at low levels.
- Molybdenum disulfide is typically compounded with nylon resins to reduce wear rates.
Reinforcements:
- Glass fibers are a cost-effective reinforcement to increase the compound’s stiffness and strength and improve resistance to long-term creep.
- Carbon fibers with a high strength-to-weight ratio are ideal for applications with stringent stiffness and strength requirements.
- Aramid fibers reduce the wear of the mating surface and improve the performance of the entire assembly.
LubriOne Lubricated and Wear-resistant Compounds are an excellent choice for applications in a full range of industries, including transportation, industrial, household, healthcare, and electrical and electronic.
