Solid Lubricants

Solid or dry lubricants are materials capable of drastically minimizing friction between metal surfaces without requiring a liquid carrier. They deliver unmatched boundary protection under high thermal and load extremes.

The Science of Minimal Friction

Featuring a lamellar crystal lattice structure with weak intermolecular layers, solid lubricants allow sliding contact with near-zero resistance. Beyond lamellar structures, non-lamellar compounds like Cerflon® (PTFE reinforced with boron nitride) provide extraordinary anti-wear performance.

Performance & Benefits

Friction Reduction

Decreased energy dissipation, improved fuel efficiency, lower running temperatures, and ultra-smooth mechanical operation.

Extreme Load Bearing

Cushions extreme pressure spikes and minimizes run-in wear for enhanced component life.

Shock Absorption

Dampens micro-vibrations and surface fretting, ideal for demanding high-performance applications.

Emergency Dry Lubrication

Acts as an infallible emergency failsafe against catastrophic engine seizure in case of oil pressure loss.

How Does It Work?

Microscopic solid lubricant particles embed into sub-micron surface imperfections of metal surfaces. Under heat and mechanical pressure, they form a resilient micro-ceramic protective shield preventing metal-to-metal contact even when fluid oil film breaks down.

Stability & Compatibility

We utilize proprietary dispersants ensuring particles remain stably suspended without agglomeration. Our formulations undergo exhaustive testing for compatibility with modern synthetic base oils.

Cerflon®

Cerflon® is a ceramic-reinforced fluoropolymer (PTFE) created by introducing boron nitride into the PTFE matrix. This exponentially enhances mechanical toughness and anti-scuffing endurance.
