- The contained solvent (H2O or organic) serves as a carrier liquid for resin and solid lubricants and enables film formation.<\/li>\n
- The resin (or \u2018binder\u2019) also provides as most possible a cohesive connection to the component surface.<\/li>\n
- Solid Film Lubricants are surface systems that reduce friction and wear and can complement or replace other wear protection systems.<\/li>\n
- smartGLEIT\u00ae<\/sup> has a very comprehensive expertise and many years of experience in this product segment.<\/li>\n
- Bonded coatings are universally applicable and suitable for a variety of applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Tribological Applications of Solid Film Lubricants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Dry lubrication<\/strong> of components made of metal or plastic \u2013 preferably at low sliding speeds \u2013 in different stages of operation:
\n\u2023 assembly,
\n\u2023 optimization of running-in,
\n\u2023 lifetime lubrication,
\n\u2023 in special operating conditions, e.g. operation in vacuum; oil or grease is undesirable for reasons of cleanliness;<\/li>\n- Hybrid lubrication<\/strong> \u2013 solid film lubricant plus oil or grease. The combination of oil-resistant solid film lubricant and oil or grease lubrication leads to a significant increase in performance of the system \u2013 in many cases synergy effects can be achieved. Such a hybrid system is particularly advantageous, indeed sometimes indispensable, for difficult running-in processes and highly loaded components in continuous operation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
