Smart Lubrication Options
The following are some of the smart lubrication products offered by Dow Corning:
Greases
Greases are engineered to provide dynamic lubrication on all kinds of automotive materials. Besides superior cold and heat resistance, they deliver efficient lubrication for operations involving extreme loads due to the presence of solid lubricants. Deterioration from oils and fuels can be reduced using high-performance fluorinated greases.
Pastes
The presence of high content of solid lubricants enables pastes to be used as initial run-in and high-load lubricants.
Compounds
Compounds are silicone lubricants that look like grease with superior oxidation resistance. Their properties remain unchanged over a broad range of temperatures. They can be used as release agents between elastomers and metals, and as non-curing sealants.
Lubricating Solids
The primary application of lubricating solids is its role as additives for lining formulations or brake pads for improved friction control and wear resistance.
Anti-Friction Coatings
Anti-friction coatings are a dispersion of a solid lubricant and binder in a solvent carrier. They are paint-like lubricants that provide corrosion resistance by forming a dry lubricating film. They are suitable for use in dusty atmospheres or for inaccessible components demanding lubrication for a long term.
