Reducing wear and corrosion without
solvents
Water-miscible bonded coatings combine economical wear protection and high component performance with eco-friendliness, allowing the use of dry lubricants without the use of the previous solvent bonds
For the reduction of friction and wear, dry lubrication is today frequently used in all kinds of components because it has a number of major advantages For example, the lubricant cannot flow off the friction point, and in automatic assembly there is no risk that lubricated parts may stick together

However, the increasing popularity of dry friction means that more and more bonded coatings containing solvents are being used.
This is opposed to efforts of the legislature to reduce (and with good reason!) permissible solvent emissions.
Bonded coatings containing water rather than flammable solvents offer a viable alternative: The advantages of dry lubrication can be fully used while solvent emissions are kept at bay.
Kluber Lubrication has developed two new water-miscible bonded coatings for different load ranges, which are both easy to process and offer excellent performance.
Klubertop TP 46-111 is a water-miscible bonded coating based on PTFE and offers excellent corrosion protection as well as low friction coefficients with surface pressures up to approx 10N/mm2.
It has been tried and tested for the dry lubrication of springs in car interiors, but may also be used for coating cylinder pins, bolts, safety belt components and similar small and mass-produced parts.
For higher surface pressures, Klubertop TS 02-141 is available.
It combines high load resistance with excellent corrosion protection and therefore suggests itself for all functional components that have to perform under high loads, e.g bolts, cylinder pins, screws, nuts and components in car locks or safety belts.
Kluber Lubrication has developed these two water-miscible bonded coatings especially for low-cost mass-coating processes.
So besides tribological requirements, they also meet economic and ecological needs. Request a free brochure from Kluber Lubrication GB ...
