Solid lubricants form the basis of dry lubrication (tribotechnical coatings). In dry lubrication, the solid pigments are bound in resin or binder and a solvent. Depending on the requirements of the dry lubrication, a wide variety of solid lubricant formulations are created.
The advantages of dry lubrication include, among others...
- Very low friction values and low coefficient of friction distribution for high process safety
- Problem-free loosening of screw connections and the like even after operational use
- Defined lubrication with high mounting safety
RHENOLUB®
anti-friction coatings Based on PTFE, MoS2, graphite & PFAS FREE
Dry film lubricants based on PTFE , MoS2, graphite, and PFAS-free materials form a firmly adhering, dry lubricating film with excellent friction and wear properties. They enable dry, reliable lubrication where greases and oils are undesirable or impractical.

coatings on rubber / elastomers
In recent years, new requirements and trends have emerged in the use of O-rings, i.e., O-ring coatings and seals. Automated assembly, freedom from silicone and paint wetting problems, reduced friction in dynamic applications, and chemical resistance are increasingly desired. Furthermore, there is a growing demand for coatings that are as PFAS-free as possible.
- Use our PTFE coatings or PFAS-FREE coatings We remain elastic and non-stick when coating... elastomers.
- Durable, low coefficient of friction ensures safe and lasting Dry lubricating properties.
- The porous rubber surface is smoothed and smoothed by our coating
- surface activation with noble gases ensures the best connection to the base material and guarantees consistent quality for your application.
- Outstanding solvent and UV resistance. This delays the aging process.
- Operating temperature: from -20°C to 140°C
- Layer thickness: 10 - 40 µm
RHENOLUB® RB
O-ring coating
By applying a mixture of PTFE- or PFAS-free materials and bonding resins, or a mixture of polyurethane and bonding resins, for example in an O-ring coating, the surface is provided with an elastic layer approximately 15 to 35 µm thick. The bond with the elastomer is firmly adhered and remains elastic. The coefficient of friction is significantly improved.
In recent years, new requirements and trends have emerged in O-ring coatings and seals. Automated assembly, freedom from silicone and paint wetting problems, reduced friction in dynamic applications, and chemical resistance are increasingly in demand.
- Automatic assembly:
The rubber parts must be treated so that they can be separated without problems and that the assembly can be carried out smoothly. - Silicone and paint wetting freedom:
In the painting technique, all rubber parts must be treated so that the adhesion of the paint is guaranteed. - Reduction of friction:
Depending on the application area, stick-slip phenomena and high breakaway forces should be prevented. - Chemically resistant:
Swelling and dissolution of the rubber parts should be prevented.
Benefits
- permanently low coefficient of friction
- lasting good To run dry
- no stick-slip effect
- improved aging resistance
- can be used in dynamic applications
- can be applied to subdivisions of rubber seal be applied
