LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations
Reduces Friction, Vibration, Heat Buildup
LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations are designed to be self-lubricating. They offer lower coefficient of friction (COF) values and improved wear-resistant properties for molded parts. These materials combine the unique benefits of internal lubricants with a wide array of base engineering resins. LubriOne formulations help reduce friction, noise, vibration, and heat buildup as well as improve product durability. They are ideal for applications that involve mating surfaces or extreme wear, including gears, pulleys, bearings, hinges, drawer guides and rollers, and conveyor belts.
Several lubricants enhance the performance of LubriOne formulations. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) offers the lowest COF of any internal lubricant, allowing for significantly lower wear rates than traditional plastics. PTFE-free lubricants including silicone and molybdenum disulfide are also available, offering similar tribological and mechanical performance while avoiding the use of fluorinated content. Silicone behaves primarily as a boundary lubricant, and significantly reduces wear rates and COF when formulated into thermoplastics at low levels. Molybdenum disulfide is typically formulated with nylon resins to reduce wear rates. Grades can be reinforced with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers to meet various application needs.
